CUSTOMIZING YOUR SOFTWARE

This chapter includes information and procedures to customize your software. This chapter contains the following sections:

■Naming Paths and Ports

■Using the 56/64 Kbps CSU/DSU Module Autobaud Feature

■Working with Dial Number Lists

■Using Statistics on the 56/64 Kbps CSU/DSU Port (45x and 55x)

■Using Statistics on the T1/FT1 RJ-48 Telco Port (46x and 56x)

■Configuring Data Compression

Naming Paths and Ports

To provide a name for your path and port, use:

SETDefault !<path> -PATH NAme = “<string>”

SETDefault !<port> -PORT NAme = “<string>”

For example, to assign the name Floor_1 to path 1 and the name Bldg_1 to port 1, enter:

SETDefault !1 -PATH NAme = "Floor_1"

SETDefault !1 -PORT NAme = "Bldg_1"

Path and Port Naming Restrictions

The following restrictions exist for the -PATH and -PORT NAme parameter:

■The name string can contain a maximum of eight characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.

■No blank spaces are allowed in the name string. The only non-alphanumeric characters allowed are the asterisk (*), the underscore (_), the period (.), the dash (-), and the at sign (@).

■Names must be unique within their type. For example, a path name cannot be the same as an existing path name, but it can be the same as an existing port or virtual port name.

■Alphabetic characters are stored and displayed as entered. Names are not case-sensitive when compared on entry with previously entered names. For example, port2 and PORT2 are evaluated as the same name.
