ASSWORD
Use this function to set or change the Multiport Spooler VIII’s configuration
password. By default there is no password. Using a password helps to prevent
unauthorized users from changing the MPS-VIII’s configuration.
A password can contain up to 16 characters, including any ASCII character
except “Enter,” “Esc,” “/,” and the command-start character “@”. You are
required to enter the password a second time for verification purposes.
NOTE
If you have forgotten your password, refer to
Section 8.1
.

VIII
Use this function to tell MPSCONF which of the PC’s I/O ports you are
using to communicate with the Multiport Spooler VIII. If you are connected
through a serial port (COM1, COM2, etc.), you can change the data rate,
parity, and number of stop bits. (This function has no facility for changing
the data bits, because 8 data bits are required to send binary configuration
information to the MPS-VIII, and we recommend the 8-data-bit setting for
other serial communication.)
The window that appears when you select this function is the same window
that appears when you first configure the Multiport Spooler VIII and select
the PC port connected to it (see
Section 4.3
).

saved it yet), or a summary of the revised configuration.
