This allows you to quickly restore user-selected parameters if the unit configuration is accidentally altered or deleted. Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other CMS units.
button, wait for the Port LEDs to flash, and then release the SET button. Note: During initialization, all port LEDs will flash ON three times. ● During initialization, all command-selected parameters will be cleared, and the CMS will revert to the default parameters specified by the Option Switches.
Ports 1 and 2 are System Setup Ports, which are used for communication during set-up and configuration. Note that Supervisor Level command access cannot be disabled at these ports. ● Ports 1 and 2 can either be connected to a PC or modem. Connection to a modem allows control by a remote PC.
3.2. Apply Power to the CMS Connect the CMS to an appropriate power source. Press the Power Switch ON. The ON LED should light, and the RDY LED should begin to flash. When connecting power to a DC unit, please refer to the additional instructions in Section 4.

create a connection between two other ports. To connect Port 2 to Port 3, type /C 2 3 [Enter] . i. While Ports 2 and 3 are connected, Port 1 will still recognize CMS commands. Type /S [Enter] to display the Port Status Screen. The "STATUS" column should now list Ports 2 and 3 as connected, and Port 1 as "Free".

4.4. Connecting Devices to the CMS Access the Command Mode. 1. Determine which port will be used for connection to the new device (e.g. Port 3). 2. Check Buffer: Type /S [Enter] to display the Port Status Screen. Check the "Buffer Count" column, which lists the amount of data stored in the buffer for each port.
Figure 4.2: CMS Application Example (Not to Scale) The example in Figure 4.2 shows one of many possible installation configurations for the CMS. In this example, ports have been configured as follows: Network Port: The Network Port allows telnet access by remote Supervisors and/or Users.
configuration, connect to any port, or review unit status. Users are only allowed to review status and connect to the ports allowed by their Port Password. Ports 5, 7, and 9 (User Ports): The Port Password "COLOCATION1" has been assigned to these three ports.

To exit a menu or prompt without changing its current value, press [Esc] . ● Passwords and port names are case sensitive. When defining passwords and port names, note the exact text, including the case of each character. ● The "Who" command (/W) can be used to display currently selected parameters for your resident port.
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 Option Switches. To select port parameters, proceed as follows: Access the Command Mode.
Note: The Port Password is not displayed by the Port Parameters menu. When the Port Password has been defined, the field for this item will read "defined". To display Port Passwords, invoke the /SP or /WP commands as described in Section 6 .
Enter: "<" Previous Port, ">" Next Port, <ESC> Exit ... Figure 5.2: Port Configuration Menu (Modem Mode) When Port Mode (menu Item 7) is set to Modem Mode, the menu will include additional prompts (see Figure 5.2 ), which are used to define the following: 71.

disconnect from a second port (Resident Disconnect). When defining the Logofff Character, note the following: The default Logoff Character is " + ".
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.
Masks are listed in order of ascending priority; Mask 1 has the lowest priority, and Mask 5 has the highest priority. b. Masks have a cumulative effect; high priority masks supersede the effect of lower priority masks. c. Each IP Address consists of a series of four eight bit numbers.
When using the wild card address "255.255.255.255" to block access by all IP addresses, make certain that at least one higher priority mask permits access by your IP address.
(Note: Ports 1 & 2 will NOT have restricted values changed.) Enter: Parameter # <CR> to define parameter value to copy to all ports, -<CR> to remove all values set, X<CR> to exit WITHOUT copy, <ESC> to copy to all ports and exit .

Any-to-Any Mode Any-to-Any Mode Ports can be connected to other Any-to-Any, Passive, Buffer, or Modem Mode Ports by accessing Command Mode and issuing the /C Command.
Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports. Resident Connect: To connect your resident port to another port, type /C xx [Enter] .

Ports 1 and 2 are Modem Mode ports, and modems are installed at both ports. Port 1 is named "MODEM1" and Port 2 is named "MODEM2". 1. Your resident port is Port 4. To connect to the first available Modem, access the Command Mode and type /C MODEM* [Enter] .
Buffer Mode Ports cannot access the Command Mode. ● In order to ensure supervisor access to important command functions, the Buffer Mode is not available to Ports 1 and 2 (SetUp Ports). ● The Buffer Mode is not available at the Network Port. ● 7.
7.3.2. Port Buffers The Status Screen lists the amount of Buffer Memory currently used by each port. The CMS uses buffer memory in two different ways, depending on the user-selected port mode.
8. Saving and Restoring Configuration Parameters After the CMS has been properly configured, parameters can be downloaded and saved as an ASCII text file. Later, if the configuration is accidentally altered, the file with the saved parameters can be uploaded to automatically reconfigure the unit without the need to manually assign each parameter.
name and directory path. Your terminal emulation program will send the ASCII text file to the CMS. When the terminal program is finished with the upload, make certain to terminate the Upload mode. 4. Notes: If the CMS detects an error in the parameters file, it will respond with the "Invalid Parameter" message.
Note: When the upgrade is performed via the Network Port, the CMS will not default the IP Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway Address. This allows the telnet connection to be re-established after the upgrade procedure is complete. Abort Upload: To cancel the upgrade and return to the command prompt, type 3 and press [Enter] .
Slash Character: Most CMS commands begin with the Slash Character ( / ). ● Apply Command to All Ports: When the asterisk character is entered as the argument of the /D command (Disconnect Port), or the /E command (Erase Buffer) the command will be applied to all ports.
