Fig. 4 Device Port Numbering
HELPFUL HINT: Make a diagram or spreadsheet of connections indicating connections between devices and the ConsoleServer 3200 device ports as numbered above.
The Allow user to clear device buffer (Y/N) YES > option determines whether a user may use the CLEAR command to delete all the data stored in a device port FIFO buffer. The sys admin may want to inhibit this ability to preserve user accountability when accessing attached devices. Users are allowed to clear buffers by default. Pressing <ENTER> will allow the user to clear the buffer; typing NO and then pressing <ENTER> at the prompt when defining a user ID will disallow the user from clearing all device buffers.
The Clear screen after a command (Y/N) YES > option determines if the screen clears when most commands are executed. Disallowing this screen behavior keeps the last few commands and responses on the terminal screen. The default value for this option is YES. Pressing <ENTER> will accept the default value; typing NO and then pressing <ENTER> disallows this screen behavior.
