Table 3-17. Communication Port Options (2 of 4)

Stop Bits
Possible Settings: 1, 2
Default Setting: 1
Determines the number of stop bits used for the COM port.
1 Provides one stop bit.
2 Provides two stop bits.
Ignore Control Leads
Possible Settings: Disable, DTR
Default Setting: Disable
Specifies whether DTR is used.
Disable Treats control leads as standard operation.
DTR Ignores DTR. This may be necessary when connecting to some PAD devices.
Login Required
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Determines whether a user ID and password (referred to as the login) is required in
order to log on to the asynchronous terminal connected to the COM port.
Display Conditions This option only appears when Port Use is set to Terminal.
Enable Requires a login to access the menu-driven user interface.
Disable Does not requires a login.
Port Access Level
Possible Settings: Level-1, Level-2, Level-3
Default Setting: Level-1
Specifies level of user access privilege for an asynchronous terminal connected to the
COM port. If a login is required for the port, the effective access level is determined by
the users access level. When a login is not required, the effective access level is
determined by this option.
NOTE: The effective access level is always the lowest one assigned to either the
port or the user. For example, if the Port Access Level assigned is Level-2,
but the User Access Level is Level-3, then only level-3 access will be
permitted for the port.
Display Conditions This option only appears when Port Use is set to Terminal.
Level-1 Allows full access and control of the device including monitoring, diagnostics,
and configuration. The user can add, change, and display configuration options, and
perform device testing.
CAUTION: Before changing the communication ports access level to Level-2 or 3,
make sure that the Telnet Session Access Level is set top Level-1 and at
least one Login ID is set to Level-1. Otherwise, access will be lost. If this
occurs, you must reset the unit to the factory defaults and begin the
configuration process again.
Level-2 Allows limited access and control of the device. The user can monitor and
perform diagnostics, display status and configuration option information.
Level-3 Allows limited access with monitoring control only. The user can monitor and
display status and configuration screens only.
