This option is very useful in identifying the DMM to which you are logged in. The default prompt is ″ 8 2 6 0 > ″ . It is recommended that you use the same ID for both the terminal prompt and the DMM device name. See 4.2.4.4, ª Configuring DMM Deviceº on page 50 for how to configure DMM device name.

Set Terminal Timeout

This command is used to specify the amount of time the terminal will remain active during the absence of keyboard activity. This command is used for

security, to ensure that an unattended DMM console will not remain logged in for long periods. The default is ″0″ which means the terminal will never

timeout. An example of this command is as follows:

8260A> set terminal timeout 10

Note that the value specified in the above command is in minutes.

You can display the current settings for console and auxiliary port using the following command:

8260> show terminal

An example of the output displayed by this command is shown in Figure 22.
