Western Telematic CMS-16 Switch User Manual


 
When a Resident Connection is initiated, the CMS will send a message which lists
the connected ports, and displays the one character or three character disconnect
command that will be required in order to terminate the connection.
The One Character Disconnect sequence is intended for situations where the
destination port should 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 Three Character format is selected, the Resident Disconnect Sequence
will use the format "[Enter]LLL[Enter]", where L is the selected Logoff Character.
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.
11. Timeout Disconnect: Enables and selects the Timeout Period for this port. If
enabled, and the port does not receive or transmit data for the specified Timeout Period,
the port will disconnect. When the port is set for Any-to-Any Mode, Passive Mode, or
Buffer Mode, the default setting for this item is "OFF". When the port is set for Modem
Mode, the default setting for this item is 15 minutes.
12. Response Type: Selects the type of messages that this port will send in response to
commands. The user can select Verbose (English Text), Terse (Numeric / Abbreviation),
or Quiet Mode (No Response). (Default = Verbose).
13. Command Echo: Enables or Disables the command echo for this port. (Default =
On).
14. Accept Break: Determines whether the port will accept breaks received from the
attached device, and pass them along to a connected port. When enabled, breaks received
at this port will be passed to any port that this port is connected to, and sent along to the
device connected to the other port. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this port, and
hence, not sent to the other port. (Default = Yes)
5.5.4. Network Port Configuration Menu
In order to communicate with the CMS via network, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address must first be defined using the Network Parameters Menu. If desired, the Network
Parameters menu also allows you to implement IP Security features, which can restrict command
mode access based on the user's IP Address.
Settings for network parameters depend on the configuration of your individual network. Please
