4. The PLS will send a series of ASCII command lines which

specify the currently selected PLS parameters. The last

line of the file should end with a “/G-00” command.

When the download is complete, press [Enter] to return to

the "PLS>" command prompt.

This section describes the procedure for using your terminal

emulation program to send stored parameters to the PLS.

1. Start your terminal emulation program and access the PLS

Command Mode; if the password prompt is displayed, enter

the System Password.

2. Configure your terminal emulation program to upload an

ASCII text file.

3. Upload the ASCII text file with the saved PLS parameters.

If necessary, key in the file name and directory path.

4. Your terminal emulation program will send the ASCII text

file to the PLS. When the terminal program is finished

with the upload, make certain to terminate the Upload

mode.

Notes:

•If the PLS detects an error in the parameters file, it

will respond with the “Invalid Parameter” message.

If an error message is received, carefully check the

contents of the parameters file, correct the

problem, and then repeat the Upload procedure.

•When the configuration file is sent to the PLS via

Telnet, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway

Address will not be changed until all Telnet

connections to the unit are terminated (including

the connection that was used to send the saved

parameters file.)

5. If the parameter upload procedure is successful, the PLS

will send a confirmation message, and then return to the

"PLS>" command prompt. Type /S and press [Enter], the

PLS Status Screen will be displayed. Check the Status

Screen to make certain the unit has been configured with

the saved parameters.
