3. Installation

3.1 Option Switches

The option switches select default settings for the baud rate, command echo, boot delay, and disconnect timeout. Default settings selected via the option switches will be used when the unit is reset to default parameters as described in Section 3.7.

NOTE

Although the option switches select default settings for these features, the Dual-Port Network Power Switch’s configuration menus can also be used to select operating parameters as described in Chapter 4.

Option switch settings are described below:

•Baud rate: The default baud rate for the console port and modem port. This rate will be selected after a power interruption and when the unit is reset to default parameters.

•Boot delay: The default boot delay setting. When a boot cycle is initiated, the boot delay determines the length of time that the switched outlet will remain off until power is restored.

•Command echo: The default setting for the command echo for the console port, modem port, and network port. When enabled, commands entered at your keyboard will be sent to the Dual-Port Network Power Switch and echoed back to your display monitor.

•Disconnect Timeout: The default disconnect timeout value. This determines how long the Switch will wait for additional commands before automatically disconnecting.

NOTE

When the Dual-Port Network Power Switch times out, DTR will drop, and the modem disconnect and initialize strings will be sent.
