SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION

Summary: This procedure provides instructions for changing serial port configurations on the chassis to match the communications device parameters.

Note: A “toggle” field type means the user can press the space bar to view and select the next option that is described; or the user can press the “R” key to view and select the previous option. An “input” field type means the user must type an entry in the field according to the parameters described. A “fixed” field is locked, and cannot be changed by the user.

Note: Edits can be made in the configuration database in one of two ways: 1) If the complete field is highlighted, use the space bar to toggle forward or the “R” key to reverse toggle through the options for that field. 2) If only the first space or the field is highlighted, type in the data that applies to that field.

Note: Edits to the configuration database can be saved after each change in one of two

ways: 1) Press an arrow key and then Enter or Return once; or 2) Press Enter or Return twice after all selections and entries are made in the screen but before leaving the screen. If the entries have been accepted, a message “Configuration Successful… Press Any Key To Continue” appears on the screen.

Note: Press CONTROL-A for help information on moving around and editing fields.

1.From the Main Menu, use the arrow keys or number keys to select the System Configuration menu. Press Enter or Return.

2.Use the arrow keys or number keys to select Serial Port Configuration from the System Configuration menu. Press Enter or Return. A Serial Port Configuration screen is shown in Figure 549-1.The serial port defaults are listed Table 549-1.

3.Use the arrow keys to move to the Craft Port Application toggle field. Use the space bar to select CRAFT, TBOS, TL1, or NONE.

4.Move the cursor to the Port 1/2 Application toggle field. Use the space bar to select TBOS, CRAFT, TL1, or NONE. Selecting “TBOS” outputs TBOS to Port 1 (EIA-422) only. Selecting “CRAFT” or “TL1” outputs Craft or TL1 to Port 2 only. If Port 2 is configured for CRAFT, the Craft port on the front of the MPU can be configured for either TL1 or TBOS (EIA-232). At least one system port must be configured as Craft.

5.Move the cursor to the Port 3 Application toggle field. Use the space bar to select X.25, TBOS, CRAFT, TL1, INTERNAL, or NONE. When X.25 is selected, all other fields in that category are shown as Not Applicable.
