This selection allows the administrator to shut down, turn on, and initialize all connections on the
DS2000-
TS
. This function is on a port-by-port basis and must be instigated one port at a time. From the Main Menu,
select
<1>Port,
select a port, and select
<3> Disable/Enable
. Selecting the Disable/Enable option displays
the menu shown in
.
The Port Activation menu shows the current status of the port. To change the current status press the
<Enter>
key; this toggles the Action field through the possible actions. The actions are Disable, Enable,
Busy, or Initialize based on the current state of the port. Use care not to Disable the port which the
Supervisor connection is being made on. This will cause an immediate loss of contact and a new Supervisor
connection will have to made through another port. Initializing the port being used for a Supervisor session
will cause a momentary interruption and the user will have to log back into the
DS2000-TS
but the
connection will return.
There are three possible current states for each port. They are Enabled, Disabled, or Busy. Note that Busy
will prevent any new connections to the port but will not cancel current active connections.
To change the current status of the port or to initialize a port, toggle the Action variable to the correct setting
and move the cursor over the Y in the Process Selections entry at the bottom of the menu. With the cursor
over the Y press the Enter key. This will activate the action selected. When disable is selected, a Warning
appears notifying the user that the connection will be lost.
