5.5.3. RS232 Port Configuration Menus
The Port Configuration Menus are used to select options for each of the
APS-8/16M’s RS232 ports. Parameters selected via these menus will stay in
effect until the unit is initialized or the /P command is used to reconfigure the
port. After initialization, parameters will revert to the defaults specified by the
SetUp Switches.
To select port parameters, proceed as follows:
1. Access command mode. If the password prompt is displayed, key in a
password that permits Supervisor Mode.
2. Type /P, followed by the number of the port to be configured, and press
[Enter]. For example, to configure Port 1, type /P 1 [Enter]. The Port
Configuration menu will appear as shown in Figure 5.5.
a) If the /P Command is entered without the port number
(e.g. /P [Enter]), the configuration menu for your resident port
will be displayed.
b) The /P command is only available to passwords that permit access to
Supervisor Mode.
