CHAPTER 5: Configuration
ii. If you have defined a password for modem access, key in your
password and press [Enter]. If the password has not been defined,
just press [Enter]. The “PM_>>” prompt should appear.
iii. Type “/^E” and press [Enter] to make certain that the Command
Mode is active, and that the unit is ready to receive commands.
5.2 Defining and Reading the Site I.D.
When your application involves communicating with several PM Switch units,
the Site I.D. can indicate the location or name of each unit. (If you defined
the Site I.D. during the initial configuration described in
Chapter 3
, and have not reinitialized the PM Switch since, skip this section.)
NOTE
The Site I.D. cannot include nonprintable ASCII Codes, such as nulls and
line feeds.
The Site I.D. will be cleared when the PM Switch is initialized to
default settings.
To assign the PM Switch a Site I.D., take these steps:
1. Access the Command Mode.
2. Type “/F” and press [Enter]. The PM Switch will prompt you to enter
the Site I.D. When it does, key in the desired Site I.D. (this can be up to
32 characters long) and press [Enter].
3. To display and verify the Site I.D., type “/J” and press [Enter].
