Western Telematic APS-8M, APS-16M manual Port Diagnostics Screen /SD

APS-8M / APS-16M Asynchronous Port Switches; User’s Guide

As shown in Figure 7.1, The Port Status Screen lists the following:

•Name: The user-defined name for each port.

•Command Access: Indicates if the corresponding port has been disabled by the Invalid Access Lockout feature. If this column reads "Locked", then the defined number of invalid access attempts for this port has been exceeded, and the port has been locked in order to prevent further access attempts. To unlock a port, you must either issue the /UL command to unlock all ports, or wait for the port’s user-defined Lockout Duration period to elapse.

•Status: The connect status of each port. When the port is connected, this column will list the number of the other APS-8/16M port connected to this port.

•Mode: The user-selected Port Mode. This column will read Any (Any- to-Any), Modem, Passive, or Buffer, depending on the configuration selected for the port.

•Buffer Count: Lists the amount of data (in bytes) stored in the buffer for this port.

7.2.The Port Diagnostics Screen (/SD)

The Port Diagnostics Screen provides more detailed information about each port, including most communication parameters. To display the Port Diagnostics Screen, access the command mode and type /SD [Enter], the screen will appear as shown in Figure 7.2.

Like the Port Status Screen, the Port Diagnostics Screen is also available in both Supervisor Mode and non-Supervisor Mode. Note however, that if the Port Diagnostics Screen command (/SD) is invoked by a password or port that does not permit Supervisor Mode, then the resulting screen will only display status of the ports that are specifically allowed by the password entered

at log in.
