3. Before invoking Command ^B99, make certain the
command echo is disabled at the NetLink command port
which will drive the download. If the command echo is
enabled when Command ^B99 is invoked, the ^B99
command will be included in the file with the saved
parameters. This will cause problems when the file is
uploaded to the NetLink unit,
a) The Command Echo is enabled/disabled using the Port
Configuration Menus as described in Section 4.4.
b) If desired, the command echo can also be temporarily
suppressed by entering the ^A character in place of the
^B character (e.g.
^A99
). Note that this method can
also be applied to other ^Bxx commands to temporarily
suppress the command echo.
4. Invoke command ^B99. From any NetLink command menu,
type
^B99
(or
^A99
) and then press
[Enter]
. NetLink
parameters will be sent to the polling device, where they
will be saved to the filename selected in Step 1.
a) When using ProComm, press
[Esc]
to exit from Receive
Parameters Mode when the download is complete.
14.3. Configuring NetLink with Saved
Parameters
Once parameters have been saved to an ASCII file, the file can
then be uploaded to the NetLink to reconfigure the unit without
manually defining each parameter.
The ASCII file with the saved parameters can also be uploaded to
other NetLink units. This allows rapid set-up when a number of
units will be configured with the same parameters.
1. Access the NetLink Command Mode as described in
Section 18.1.
a) If the password function is enabled, enter the valid
Supervisor Level password. NetLink must be operating
in Supervisor Mode in order for this procedure to
function.
b) Note that this procedure can be performed from
anywhere in the NetLink menu system.
