5.3. NPS Command/Menu Conventions
When invoking NPS-2HD commands and selecting items from
configuration menus, note the following:
·
To display the Help Screen, type /H [Enter].
·
All NPS commands can be invoked at the NPS> command
prompt, or from the General Parameters Menu, Port
Parameters Menus or Network Parameters Menu.
·
NPS commands are not case sensitive. All NPS commands
are invoked by pressing [Enter].
·
To select an item from an NPS menu, key in the number for
the item and press [Enter]. To exit from a menu, press
[Esc] at any time. Parameters defined up to that point will
be saved.
·
The ",Y" option can temporarily suppress the "Sure?"
confirmation prompt. The ",Y" option is entered at the end
of the command line, immediately following the command
or argument. For example, to reset the network port without
displaying the "Sure?" prompt, type /T,Y [Enter].
5.4. Defining General Parameters
When the "NPS>" prompt appears, type /G [Enter] to display
the General Parameters menu (Figure 5.3). Note that this menu
is not available in User Mode. The General Parameters menu
offers the following options:
1. System Password: (Up to 16 characters, case-sensitive)
When the System Password is defined, the NPS-2HD will
display a prompt before allowing access to command
mode. If the System Password is entered, the NPS will
start-up in System Mode. To define the System Password,
type 1 and press [Enter]. (Default = undefined).
Note: If the System Password is not defined, the
password prompt will not be displayed, and the NPS
will always start-up in System Mode.
2. Site ID: Defines a text string (up to 32 characters) that
denotes the installation site. To define the Site ID, type 2
and press [Enter]. (Default = undefined).
