The Set ID (ID / RID#) command allows you to set or change the local
or remote BPF identifier. IDs can be a maximum of 15 characters in
length. Pressing <Enter> with no entry will leave the ID unchanged.

Use the Set Password (PW) command to set a password for access to
the network management port. The password may be up to 15
characters long and is case sensitive.
To clear the password, type DELETE at the PW prompt or reset the
unit to defaults as described in paragraph 3.7.
5.4.14 Activity Counts / Zero
The Activity Counts (AC / RAC#) command shows transmit and
receive data statistics for all ports. The data are presented in terms
of blocks of information sent and received by the network and each
data port. Error counts are also shown. A range of ports may be
included with this command to reduce the number of ports shown.
The Z command (Z / RZ#) is used to zero the counters so that current
activity can be monitored.
5.4.15 Type
The Type (TY) command displays information about the local BPF-
BU including firmware version, number of ports and unit ID. The
Remote Type (RTY#) command is used to display similar information
about the remote BPF-BU.

The BYE command toggles the CTS output from the Network
Management port. This is used to disconnect equipment such as dial-
up modems or the DCB Access Switch.
