MULTIPORT SPOOLER VIII (4-, 8-, and 12-Port Models)
4.2 Starting the Configuration Program
NOTE
You can also partially configure the Multiport Spooler VIII by using the
control commands that can be sent through the User’s Command
Transmission Program (UCTP) or from the DOS command line (see
Appendix D ).
To configure the Multiport Spooler VIII, you can use the MPSCONF program
included with the MPS-VIII’s support software. How you start this program
depends on whether you are configuring for the first time or have done so
before:
• If you are configuring the MPS-VIII for the first time, run the MPSSETUP
program from the MPS-VIII’s support software diskette, and choose the
Configure MPS-VIII menu selection.
• If you have configured the MPS-VIII before, using the MPSSETUP
program, MPSCONF has been copied onto your PC. Just enter the
command MPSCONF at the DOS prompt.
Regardless of how you initiate the configuration process—by selecting
Configure MPS-VIII from the MPSSETUP menu or by entering the
MPSCONF command at the DOS prompt—there are three stages to the
MPS-VIII configuration:
• Loading an existing configuration,
• Making the required modifications, and
• Saving the modified configuration.
