9.4 Copy Channel Parameters
By using the Copy Channel Parameters selection,
you can configure a range of sync or async ports or
a single port. If the next port(s) to be configured
matches (or closely resembles) the one previously
configured, this option can save you time.
NOTE: Source and destination ports must be of a
like kind (async to async, sync to sync) and
protocol (sync only, DLC to DLC, TDM to
TDM).
It does not matter whether the source port (copy
from) or port(s) receiving the configuration is a
Multiserver or feeder mux port. If more than one
port is to receive the configuration (a range of
channels), the defined range must be on one node
(either the Multiserver or the feeder mux).
To copy channel parameters, select option 6 of the
Configure Local Nodes menu.
Enter the node ID/channel number of the port
configuration you wish to copy. Press <cr>. The
screen will display the following prompt:
Enter the node ID/channel number or the range of
ports to receive the parameters. Press <cr>.
Once the channel parameters are copied, you will
be returned to the Command Facility. You can now
return to the channel configuration menus and
modify the port parameters if necessary. You should
verify your configuration. See Section 9.5, Review
Data-Channel Configuration.
If you attempt to copy the parameters of unlike
channels, you will get the message:
** CONFLICT IN CHANNEL TYPES **
If you attempt to copy the parameters to an
unavailable channel (for example, A7), you will get
the message:
** OUT OF RANGE **
