CHAPTER 7: Operation
57
The <CR> (Redisplay) Command
After a valid change line has been entered, the menu is not automatically redisplayed. Press <Enter> at
the next Enter Change(s): prompt to redisplay the menu with the new values included.
<BACKSPACE> or <RUBOUT>
Backspace or Delete keys can be used during configuration to correct typing mistakes. The command
deletes the last character of the current entry.
The <CTRL/X> (Delete Entry) Command
This command deletes the current entry. This may be more convenient than the single character
Backspace or Delete key for correcting typing errors. This command does not require <Enter>.
The <!> (Restore Previous Values) Command
During a configuration session, it is sometimes desirable to reset all of the changes to the previously held
values. This can be done by typing an exclamation point <!> followed by <Enter> in response to the
Enter Change(s) prompt. This command only resets the parameters changed since the last END
command. In other words, the parameters changed on other menus or previous edits to the current
menu are not reset.
NOTE
If it becomes desirable to reset all configuration parameters to their factory default
values, the SETUP procedure may be used. Refer to Section 7.7 for this procedure.
The END Command
To exit from a configuration menu, type END followed by <Enter> in response to the Enter Change(s):
prompt. This stores the new parameter settings and in most cases returns you to the Enter Item(s) to be
Configured: prompt. There is one Exception. When you type END to exit the Asynchronous Port
configuration menu after configuring the port to which your terminal is connected, the LinkUp 5294
takes you out of Configurator Mode and displays the following message on your screen:
**Connect/Port Test Cancelled - Port Reconfigured.**
When you see this message, press Enter to return to Connect Mode. If you are connected to the LinkUp
5294 by modems, you will have to redial.
The END command is also used in response to the Enter Item(s) to Be Configured prompt to exit from
Configurator Mode and return to the System Management Mode menu. Note that changes made while
in Configurator Mode are saved when END is typed in response to the Enter Change(s): prompt.
On exit from a specific menu level in Configurator Mode, all modified parameters will be saved in
EEPROM. If not currently in use, the item will be immediately reinitialized with its new parameters.
Otherwise, reinitialization will occur when the item becomes idle—for example, when you disconnect
from the LU.
NOTE
A hardware reset must be performed after you have reconfigured a synchronous port or
assigned an LU to a new or modified synchronous port, SDLC Link Number or Local
Station Address. A hardware reset is performed by powering the LinkUp off and back
on, or by activating the Remote Reset command from System Management Mode.
