Passive, or Buffer, depending on the configuration selected for each port.

6.3. The Network Status Screen (/SN)
This screen lists parameters for the Network Port. To display the Network Status Screen, type
/SN and press [Enter]. The Network Status Screen is only available in Supervisor Mode.
Normally, the /SN command will not display passwords that were entered in order to initiate
each telnet session, and the Telnet Connection column will read "Active" or "Free" for each of
the six available logical TCP ports. However, if the /SN command line includes the "P" option
(e.g. /SNP), the Network Status screen will also list the login password entered for each telnet
session. When the /SNP command is invoked, the Supervisor Password will not be displayed;
the Telnet Connection column will read "Supervisor" instead of listing the actual Password.
As shown in Figure 6.3, the Network Status Screen lists the following information:
· NIC Installed: If your CMS unit includes a Network Card, this item will read “Yes”.
·
MAC Address: The permanent physical address assigned to the Network Card.
·
Telnet Port: The network port name and telnet port number for each of the six available
logical TCP Ports.
·
Telnet Connection: The Active/Free status for each TCP port. If the /SN command
includes the "P" option (e.g. /SNP), then this column will also list the password entered
upon login. The Supervisor Password will not be displayed.
·
CMS Port Connection: The number of the CMS Port that each telnet user is currently
connected to. If a TCP port is not connected to an RS232 port, this item will read “Free”.
