3 - 16 ONline Ethernet Bridge Module Installation and Operation Guide
Contact Name and Location
You should enter the name of an appropriate service contact and the
concentrator location at this time to provide a handy reference should
there be a network problem. Use the SET DEVICE LOCATION and SET
DEVICE CONTACT commands to identify the location of the Bridge Module
and the name of the person responsible for the Bridge Module.
Terminal Timeout
You should set the terminal timeout value to specify the amount of time
your terminal will remain logged in without any keyboard activity. This
feature is useful for keeping unauthorized users off the system if you leave
your terminal without logging off. Once timeout has been set, the terminal
automatically logs you off the system if there is no keyboard activity for the
set period of time.
The default timeout value is 0, which means that no timeout has been set -
you will never be logged off automatically. Use the SET TERMINAL
TIMEOUT command to set the timeout period in minutes.
Concentrator Reboot Values
When the Bridge Module is reset (or rebooted) using the factory default
settings, the module performs a full diagnostic check and then sets all
parameters to the settings stored in its memory (except for channel
configuration if dip configuration is enabled). You have the option to
disable the diagnostics if you want the Bridge Module to boot up faster.
You also have the option to have the Bridge Module initialize its channel
configuration from memory (software settings) rather than its dip switch
settings.
Use the SET DEVICE DIAGNOSTICS DISABLE command to bypass the
diagnostics and the SET DEVICE DIP_CONFIGURATION DISABLE command
to force initialization of the Bridge Module channel configuration from its
memory settings.
