NTI SERIMUX SERIES CONSOLE SWITCH

Using these commands, the administrator can create text files to send to the SERIMUX to perform groups of commands for
special functions or to configure the SERIMUX. Once created, the text files can be archived, ready for reuse at any time.
Figure 64- Sample txt files for configuring Port 16
The examples in Figure 62 show two text files for configuring port 16 in two different ways. With a text file written to perform the
desired functions, the text file can be sent to the SERIMUX through the Telnet client. Using HyperTerminal, for example, in the
menu at the top select “
File”
, then “
Send File”
, then browse for and select the desired text file and press <
Enter
>. All
commands in the txt file will be sent to the SERIMUX.
Commands or groups of commands can effect multiple ports at the same time. In the examples above, to configure all ports with
those settings instead of just port 16, change “16” to “all”. To configure ports 1 and 16, change “16” to “1,16” (add “1” and a
comma). To configure ports 1 through 4 all the same, change “16” to “1-4” (add “1” and a hyphen).
