Administering RS232 Parameters

Action/data pairs associated with Main Menu item 10 (RS232) are used to administer System 25 peripheral equipment: System Administration Terminal, SMDR output port, and Digital Tape Unit.

Any or all of these peripherals can be physically connected to System 25 via branches of an octopus cable. Within limits, it is possible to reassign each channel to different physical connectors. For example, if for some reason a system administrator wanted to physically connect the SMDR function to the default digital tape unit connector (connector 3), that connector could be made to serve the SMDR function via an administration command.

If a connector function (1 through 4) is reassigned, then the function being replaced is automatically disconnected.

To administer an RS232 1 From the Main Menu prompt, enter 10.
