Entering/Selecting Parameters

Parameters are entered or changed by either typing them in or by selecting them from a list of options. The method depends on the command.

For example, at the system prompt type DH (Display Host) and press ENTER. The unit will respond with a message of ‘--- Display Host Port Params ---‘ and then a list of host ports to select. Type in the number of the Host port whose parameters you wish to view, press ENTER. The user may view these parameters in one step by typing DH x (where x is the Host Port number) and pressing return. The parameters for the selected Host Port will be displayed.

In some cases, the terminal server system provides you with several options. If the option displayed is not appropriate, scroll through the list by pressing the space bar. When the selection you want appears in the field, press the Enter key to select that item.

In the Set Date and Time (SDT) command, there are 10 different date codes available. Type SDT at the system prompt and the current date format will be displayed. Press the space bar and another format will be displayed, there are ten date format options. Once the desired format is displayed, press ENTER to accept the format. The display is now today’s date shown in the format just entered. Press the ENTER again to display the current time. Pressing ENTER again returns the system prompt (>).

Some commands require that certain parameters be specified. For example, when you type SSP the Set System Parameters screen is displayed. The example below shows the parameters for Site Information (Option 1).
