can be used to determine if the unit is operating properly. 3.1. Communication Parameters The Option Switches, located on the instrument back panel, select default operating settings. Switch functions are summarized in Section 4.2, and on a label on the CMS unit.
Therefore, Ports 1 and 2 are generally used for communication during initial set-up and configuration, or after the unit has been reinitialized (reset) to default parameters. Note: For more information on System SetUp Port capabilities, please refer to Section 5.
Cable Connection: Check the connection between the CMS and the PC. Make certain the cable connectors are firmly seated. . Communication Parameters: Make certain the CMS and ProComm are using the same baud rate. b. Help Screen: Type /H [Enter] to display the Supervisor Level Help Screen ( Figure 3.

* = Factory Setting 4.3. Initialize Unit to Default Settings If Option Switch settings are changed, new parameters will not take effect until the CMS is initialized. Caution: After initialization, the CMS will revert to the parameters specified by the Option Switches.
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.
Ports 5, 7, and 9 (User Ports): The Port Password "COLOCATION1" has been assigned to these three ports. If the CMS is contacted via the Network Port or Modem Port, and this password is entered at log in, Users will only be able to review status and connect to the devices attached to Ports 5, 7, and 9.
If you have defined the Supervisor Password, a prompt will be displayed. Key in your Supervisor or Port password and press [Enter] . If the Supervisor Password has not been defined, just press [Enter] .
(User) Passwords. The Supervisor Password allows system administrators to invoke unit configuration commands, and the Port Passwords allow users to access specific ports in order to create connections between ports or view port configuration parameters.
The Port Passwords (or User Passwords) allow system administrators to restrict access to a specific group of ports. When the CMS command mode is accessed with a Port Password, users may only connect to the RS232 Ports to which they have been granted access, and review configuration parameters for those ports.
[Enter] , a prompt will appear. Key in the desired password then press [Enter] , the CMS will prompt you to re-key the password in order to confirm spelling and capitalization. Key in the password a second time, and then press [Enter] . Note: The Supervisor Password is case sensitive.
5.5.2. Port Modes The CMS offers four different port operation modes; Any-to-Any Mode, Passive Mode, Buffer Mode, and Modem Mode. The Port Modes function as follows: Any-to-Any Mode: Allows communication between connected ports.
If the /P Command is entered without the port number (e.g. /P [Enter] ), the configuration menu for your resident port will be displayed. . The /P command is only available in the Supervisor Mode b. PORT PARAMETERS #02 1. Port Name: (undefined) 2. Password: (undefined) 3.
7. Port Mode: Defines the operation mode for this port. Note that Ports 1 and 2 cannot be configured for Passive Mode or Buffer Mode. (Default = Any-to-Any Mode). When Any-to-Any, Passive, or Buffer Mode is selected, the unit will display the DTR Output prompt as shown in Figure 5.
73. Hang-Up String: Defines the modem hang-up message. Although the CMS will pulse the DTR line in order to hang-up an attached modem, the Hang-Up string is often useful for controlling modems that do not use the DTR line. (Default = undefined). ❍ 8.
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".

The /W command displays more detailed information about an individual CMS port. Rather than listing connection information for all ports like the Port Status Screens, the Port Parameters screen lists all defined parameters for a specific port. PORT PARAMETERS #03: 1.
Note: When the command mode is accessed via the Network Port using a Port (User) password, the /W command will only display the Sequence Disconnect, Logoff Character, and the status of the Accept Break item.
Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports. Resident Connect: To connect your resident port to another port, type /C xx [Enter] . Where xx is the number or name of the port you want to connect. The CMS will display the numbers of the connected ports, along with the command sequence that will be required in order to disconnect the two ports.
Three Characters (Default): Uses the format " [Enter] LLL [Enter] ", where L is the selected Logoff Character. The Default Resident Disconnect Sequence is [Enter] +++ [Enter] . . One Character: When the One Character Disconnect Sequence is selected, simply enter the selected Logoff Character once (Default = + ).

command is invoked, the network connection will be reset without warning, and must then be re-established in order to communicate with the unit via Network.
Response: Displays port parameters. Example: To display parameters for a port named "SERVER", access the Command Mode from a port with Supervisor Level command capability, and type /W SERVER [Enter] . /X Exit Command Mode Exits Command Mode, When issued at the Net Port, also ends the telnet session.
If neither port is set for Modem Mode, DTR output is held high (active). b. When not connected: If the port is set for Modem Mode, upon disconnect DTR output is pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then held high. . If the port is not set for Modem Mode, DTR output is controlled by the DTR Output option (Parameters Menu, Option 74).
