5.3.4.
Port Configuration Command
The following section describes the procedure for using the Port
Configuration Menu to select options for each port.
Note that parameters and options selected via the Port
Configuration Menu will stay in effect until the MDS is
initialized using the /I command or the CLEAR and SET buttons.
When the unit is initialized, parameters will revert to the defaults
specified by the Setup Switch configuration.
After parameters have been selected, the configuration can be
saved to an ASCII file on your PC. Later, if the MDS
configuration is altered or deleted, the file with the saved
parameters can be sent to the MDS to automatically reconfigure
the unit without the need to manually select each parameter.
Section 7 provides a description of the procedure for saving and
restoring configuration parameters.
To select port parameters, proceed as follows:
1. Access the MDS Command Mode.
2. Type /P, followed by the number of the port to be
configured, and press [Enter]. For example, to configure
Port 2, type /P 02 [Enter]. The Port Configuration
menu will appear as shown in Figure 5.1.
