7. Supervisor Mode: Permits or denies access to Supervisor Mode at this
port. When enabled (Permit), and a password that permits Supervisor
Mode is entered, the port will allow access to Supervisor Mode
commands. When disabled (Deny), the port will
not enter Supervisor
Mode, even when a password that normally permits access to Supervisor
Mode is entered. (Default = Permit).
Note: The Supervisor Mode cannot be disabled at Ports 1 or 2.
8. Logoff Character: Defines the Logoff Character for this port. The
Logoff Character determines the command(s) or character(s) that must
be issued at this port in order to disconnect from a second port (Resident
Disconnect). (Default = ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X])).
Note: When redefining the Logoff Character, make certain to select a
character that does not normally occur in your data.
9. Sequence Disconnect: Enables/Disables and configures the Resident
Disconnect command. This prompt offers the option to either disable the
Sequence Disconnect, or select a one character format or a three character
format. (Default = One Character). Note the following:
When a Resident Connection is initiated, the APS will send a message
which lists the connected ports, and displays the one character or three
character command that will be required in order to disconnect.
The One Character Disconnect sequence is intended for situations
where the destination port will not receive the disconnect command.
When the Three Character format is selected, the disconnect sequence
will pass through to the destination port prior to breaking the
connection.
When the One Character format is selected, resident connections are
terminated by entering the selected Logoff Character only. There is no
need to press [Enter] before and after the Logoff Character when the
One Character format is selected.
When the Three Character format is selected, the Resident Disconnect
Sequence will use the format "[Enter]LLL[Enter]", where L is the
selected Logoff Character.
