TFTP upload path

The pathname to which to upload a memory image from the

 

 

communications server to the RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. If

 

 

specified, this is the pathname used when performing

 

 

memory dumps to the network.

 

 

 

Printer Setup Menu

The Printer Setup menu provides options for configuring your printer

 

connection. You can automatically issue a line feed after a carriage

 

return (option 1) or not (option 2). You can also add a printer setup

 

string (option 3) or delete the string (option 4). Printer options apply to

 

printer initialization when turning on only.

System Default

The System Default Configuration menu allows you to configure your

Configuration Menu

CS/2500 series communications server to run in CS/2000 series

 

emulation mode and to change the default for individual ports from

 

RS-232 to RS-422.

 

 

 

 

Emulating the CS/2000 series is described in the following section. For

 

information on changing port defaults, refer to “Changing Port

 

Configuration” on page 4-13.

 

 

 

Emulating a

You can configure your CS/2500 or CS/2600 to run like a CS/2000 or

CS/2000 or CS/2100

CS/2100, respectively. Emulation allows you to run earlier versions of

 

software and to operate in mixed environments.

Running in emulation mode imposes some restrictions. Because the CS/2000 and CS/2100 provide only 1 MB of memory, you are limited to that amount in emulation mode. You cannot access the printer interface in emulation mode. Firmware Configuration menus also appear slightly different.
