3. You are prompted to modify each connection method. Enter
y
for yes or
n
for no.
If you choose to modify the connection values, the utility will prompt for all connection
parameters. The utility will prompt to enable each connection method, regardless of whether
the method is currently enabled. Enter
y
for yes or
n
for no. If you reply no, nothing more is
displayed for that connection method. If you reply yes (that is, you want to enable that
method), the configurable parameters are displayed and you are prompted for values.
Table 5.1 indicates where to find more information.
4. If you enable the modem emulation connection method and enable outgoing calls, you will be
prompted for values for each of eight dialout translation sets. If you specify a null translate
string for a set, that set will be disabled. See
Dialout translation on page 27 for
more information.
5. When the port connection method menus are completed, you are prompted to confirm any
changes. Confirm or cancel the changes.

A warning will be displayed (and the change will not be allowed) if:
• The TCP client or modem emulation connection method is enabled and any other connection
method is also enabled.
• The TCP server connection method is enabled, the idle buffering feature is enabled and any
other connection method is also enabled.
• There is a conflict on the local IP ports between two or more enabled connection methods.
A warning will be displayed (but the change will be allowed) if:
• The TCP server or TCP client connection method is enabled and monitor DCD is enabled, but
the port interface is not RS-232.

If changes were applied to all ports, the warning will indicate the affected ports.
