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 ParametersAlthough 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.
