5.7. Save User Selected Parameters

(Note: Ports 1 & 2 will NOT have restricted values changed.)

-<CR> to remove all values set, X<CR> to exit WITHOUT copy,

<ESC> to copy to all ports and exit ...

Figure 5.5: The Copy Port Parameters Menu

3.Selecting Parameters: To select parameters to be copied, key in the number for the desired parameter, press [Enter], and 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.

Note: The /CP command will only copy the parameters that are currently displayed by the Copy Port Parameters menu. Note that although the Port Password is not displayed, the selected password will be copied if the field for this item reads "defined".

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.Copy Parameters: When you have finished selecting parameters, press [Esc] to copy the selected parameters to all CMS RS-232 Ports and exit from the Copy Port Parameters menu.

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 8 describes the procedure for saving configuration parameters to an ASCII file.

6. The Status Screens

The CMS Status Screens display the connection status and communication parameters for the sixteen RS-232 ports and the Network Port. There are four different types of status screens; The Port Status Screen (/S), the Port Diagnostics Screen (/SD), the Network Status Screen (/SN), and the Port Parameters Screens (/W).
