To access the Network Parameters menu, type /N and press [Enter]. The screen shown in Figure 5.3 will be displayed. Note that the Network Parameters menu is only available in Supervisor Mode. The Network Parameters menu offers the following options:

1.IP Address: Defines the IP Address for the CMS unit. Type 1 press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = undefined).

2.Subnet Mask: Defines the Subnet Mask for the CMS unit. Type 2 press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = undefined).

3.Gateway Address: Defines the Gateway Address for the CMS unit. Type 3 press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = undefined).

11.Port Name: (Up to 16 characters) Assigns a name to the Network Port. (Default = undefined).

12.Supervisor Mode: Permits or denies access to the Supervisor Mode. When enabled (Permit), and the valid Supervisor Password is entered, this port may then issue Supervisor level commands. If disabled (Deny), the port may not enter Supervisor Mode, even when the Supervisor Password is entered. (Default = Permit).

13.Logoff Character: Defines the Logoff Character for the Network Port. The Logoff Character determines the disconnect sequence that is issued at this port in order to disconnect from a second port (Resident Disconnect). When defining the Logofff Character, note the following:

The default Logoff Character is "+". As a result, the default Resident Disconnect Sequence is [Enter]+++[Enter].

The default three character Resident Disconnect Sequence uses the format [Enter]LLL[Enter], where L is the Logoff Character. If the one character disconnect is selected (see item 14), a resident connection is terminated by simply typing the Logoff Character once (without carriage returns)

14.Sequence Disconnect: Enables/Disables and configures the Resident Disconnect command. This prompt offers the option to either disable the Sequence Disconnect, select a three character format, or a one character format. (Default = Three Characters). Note the following:

When a Resident Connection is initiated, the CMS will send a message which lists connected ports, and displays the one character or three character disconnect
