CHAPTER 4: Operation

5) Lead Control. This selection determines whether control leads from the

switched ports can be used to access the master port. The factory default is lead

control disabled. Select Yes or No.

6) Command Response. The switch can send a response to escape sequences to let

the operator know that the switch has taken place. The factory default is responses

disabled. Select Yes or No to change the setting.

7) Modem or Terminal Mode. Sets the switch for either terminal or modem use.

Each time you select 7 Mode, this setting toggles.

• Modem mode: The Remote Management Switch monitors the DCD lead from

the master port. Once the call is established, send the Escape to invoke the

auto rate detector, if required, then the Enter key to generate the Login

prompt, or any valid control code. Three unsuccessful login attempts causes

the switch to hang up the modem. Use this setting when the switch is

connected to a dial modem.

• Terminal mode: The Remote Management Switch does not monitor the

connection status of the master port. This mode allows an unlimited number

of login attempts. Each time it receives an enter key, the switch issues a new

enter control codes. Use this mode for direct cable connections from a PC or

terminal to the switch.

8) Cycle Time. Sets the length of time in a relay Cycle command. This time is set

once for all relays controlled. Selections from 1 to 255 are valid.

9) Time Out. To prevent one port from dominating access to the master port and

locking out other selections, the switch incorporates a timeout feature. With this

feature enabled, the switch monitors the data activity received by the master port.

When no data is received by the time as set, the currently selected port is de-

selected. Set the Timeout from 1 to 99 minutes. Setting the Timeout to 0 (the

default setting) disables the feature and allows unlimited time with no data

received. The timeout feature affects all selection modes.

X) Exit the Programming Mode. Exit the programming menu and activate all

current settings. If you have changed the baud rate and/or character format, Exit

will enable those changes. From the main menu, “X” terminates the current

session and a new connection to the Remote Management Switch will be required.

The calling system must terminate the session and hang up the modem.
