System Configuration and Operation Port Configuration

3.5.2 Recording Your Configuration Settings
You should always record the configuration option settings for each port after you set them.
This information may be needed later for sy st em operation. To record the port configuration
data, first photocopy the pages showing the port Screens in the associated chapters of this
guide. Then, mark the option settings you want to use on those pages, and store the pages in a
safe place where they can be readily obtained.
You can also record screen settings by “capturing” each edited screen onto your computer
terminal while you are logged into the system. To do this, you r computer must have a software
program capable of capturing the actual screens as text files. The communications software
you use to access the system may have this ability. You can then copy the screens to a word
processing program, print them out, and / or store them electronically.
