Configuration

To select common parameters for all APS-8/16M RS-232 ports, proceed as follows:

1.Access command mode. If the password prompt is displayed, key in a password that permits Supervisor Mode.

2.At the command prompt, type /CP and press [Enter], the menu shown in Figure 5.7 will be displayed.

3.Selecting Parameters: To select parameters to be copied, key in the number for the desired parameter, press [Enter], then follow the instructions in the submenu. Note that it is not necessary to define all port parameters, for example, the /CP command could be used to select only the Baud Rate for all ports.

4.Clear Menu: After defining several parameters, if you wish to clear the /CP menu and start again, type - (dash) and press [Enter], the menu will be reset.

5.Exit Without Copy: To exit from the Copy Parameters menu without copying selected parameters to all RS232 ports, type X and then press [Enter]. The APS-8/16M will exit from the Copy Parameters menu and return to the command prompt.

6.Copy Parameters: When you have finished selecting parameters, press [Esc] to copy the selected parameters to all APS-8/16M RS-232 Ports and exit from the Copy Port Parameters menu. Note that the APS-8/16M will display a "Sure" prompt before copying parameters to other ports.

5.7. Save User Selected Parameters

Although this step is optional, it is strongly recommended to save all user- defined parameters to an ASCII file. This will allow quick recovery in the event of accidental deletion or reconfiguration of port parameters. Section 9 describes the procedure for saving configuration parameters to an ASCII file.
