MINIATURE 2-CHANNEL STATISTICAL MULTIPLEXOR
However, configuration can usually be done without connection to the
remote Multiplexor. There is one exception to this rule: you must establish
communication with the remote Multiplexor if you set the RTS-to-DCD
control passing to ON (screen 14), and your command terminal requires
DCD active in order to communicate.
2. Select one of the terminals connected to Multiplexor sub-channels as a
command (configuration) terminal, or connect a CRT terminal to one
of Multiplexor ports.
3. When a new terminal is connected to the Multiplexor sub-channel selected
as the command port, program the communications parameters of this
terminal according to those of the selected Multiplexor port (factory setting
is 9600 bps, 8 data bits, I stop bit, no parity bit).

The configuration program requires the user to enter a password before
proceeding any further. If you enter an incorrect password, the Multiplexor
immediately returns to start again the configuration session.
NOTES
1. The following examples assume that the command mode is activated
via sub-channel 1.
2. Multiplexor commands requiring alphanumeric inputs are case-
sensitive. Observe use of lower-case and upper-case letters in the
following examples.
1. To start the configuration session, allow an idle period of at least one second,
type @ @ @, then wait at least one second and type S (typing any other
character after the @ @ @ string returns the Multiplexor to the normal mode,
and you will see the message: Multiplexor IN NORMAL MODE).
2. After correctly typing the starting command, the Multiplexor stops data
transfer through the sub-channel used as a command sub-channel, its TEST
indicator lights, and the opening screen appears as follows:
