Basic Configuration

5.9.1.Network Port Parameters

In the Text Interface, these parameters are found in the main Network Configuration menu (Figure 5.17.) In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters are found by clicking the "Network Port Parameters" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Network Port Configuration Menu.

•Administrator Mode: Permits/denies port access to accounts that allow Administrator or SuperUser level commands. When enabled (Permit), the port will be allowed to invoke Administrator and SuperUser level commands, providing they are issued by an account that permits them. If disabled (Deny), then accounts that permit Administrator and SuperUser level commands will not be allowed to access command mode via this port. (Default = Permit)

•Logoff Character: Defines the Logoff Character for this port. This determines

which command(s) must be issued at this port in order to disconnect from a second port. (Default = ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X]).)

Note: The Sequence Disconnect parameter can be used to pick a one character or a three character logoff sequence.

•Sequence Disconnect: Enables/Disables and configures the Resident Disconnect command. Offers the option to either disable the Sequence Disconnect, or select a one character, or three character command format. (Default = One Character).

Notes:

•The One Character Disconnect is intended for situations where the destination port should not receive the disconnect command. When the Three Character format is selected, the disconnect sequence will pass through to the destination port prior to breaking the connection.

•When Three Character format is selected, the Resident Disconnect uses the format "[Enter]LLL[Enter]", where L is the selected Logoff Character.

•Inactivity Timeout: Enables and selects the Inactivity Timeout period for the Network Port. If enabled, and the port does not receive or transmit data for the specified time period, the port will disconnect. (Default = 5 Minutes).

•Command Echo: Enables or Disables the command echo for the Network Port. (Default = On).

•Accept Break: Determines whether the port will accept breaks received from the attached device, and pass them along to a connected port. When enabled, breaks received at this port will be passed to any port this port is connected to, and sent to the device connected to the other port. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this port. (Default = On.)

•Multiple Logins: If the MPC is installed in an environment that does not include communication via an open network (local communication only), then the Multiple Logins parameter can be used to determine whether or not multiple users will be able to communicate with the unit at the same time. If this parameter is set to "Off" then only one user will be allowed to communicate with the unit at a time.

(Default = On.)

Note: The "Multiple Logins" prompt is not included in the Web Browser Interface.
