Western Telematic APS-16M, APS-8M manual Status Screens, Port Status Screen /S

7. The Status Screens

The APS-8/16M Status Screens display the connection status and communication parameters for the RS-232 ports. Basically, There are four different status screens; The Port Status screen (/S), the Port Diagnostics screen (/SD), the Port Parameters screens (/W), and the View Password Directory screen.

7.1. The Port Status Screen (/S)

The Port Status Screen lists the general status of the RS-232 ports. To display the Port Status Screen, access the command mode and type /S [Enter], the screen will appear as shown in Figure 7.1.

Although the Port Status Screen can be displayed by passwords that permit Supervisor Mode and passwords that do not permit Supervisor Mode, note that the resulting screen will appear slightly different, depending upon the Supervisor Mode access rights of the port and password that invoked the /S command. When the /S command is invoked by a user who does not have access to Supervisor Mode, the Port Status Screen will only display the status of those ports that are specifically allowed for the password entered at log in.
