4.7.5.4.1 Change Password [1]
This option allows an operator who is logged in, to change the password on the selected
system. Passwords may be different on local and remote systems. When changed, the
password is updated immediately in FLASH memory.
4.7.5.4.2 Change NodeID [2]
This command allows the NodeID to be changed. Valid characters include upper and lower-
case alphabetical characters, numerals, and underscore. Invalid characters may be typed but
are not accepted. When changed, the NodeID is updated immediately in FLASH memory.
4.7.5.4.3 Select XMODEM-1K or KERMIT [3]
This option allows the operator to set the file transfer protocol to be used when downloading
or uploading files between the multiplexer system and the PC hosting the terminal program.
On many PC using a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal both protocols are
supported and either may be selected via this option. The default factory setting is XMODEM-
1K.
4.7.5.4.4 Clear Log [5]
This command erases all entries in the Log file.
4.7.5.4.5 System Reset [6]
Selecting this command performs a system reset, which causes the system to re-boot exactly
as it would from a power-on. All non-volatile memory settings are restored, however any
current active configuration options different from those stored in FLASH at the time of this
command, are lost. This option should be used with care.
4.7.5.4.6 Load Local Operating System from Disk then soft-boot [7, On Local Only]
This command causes operating firmware to be loaded into the system executable RAM from
a selected disk file, followed by a re-boot. Because the operating firmware is stored only in
RAM, performing a subsequent system reset will restore the firmware state to that revision
stored in FLASH memory.
4.7.5.4.7 Load Local Operating System from Disk to Flash then hard-boot [8, On Local Only]
This command causes operating firmware to be loaded into the system FLASH memory from
a selected disk file, followed by a hard re-boot (i.e., boot from FLASH memory). Once
complete, this command will result in loss of the firmware revision previously stored in FLASH
memory.
4.7.5.4.8 Copy Local Operating System to Remote then soft-boot Remote [7, On Remote Only]
This command performs a similar operation as in section 4.7.5.4.6, except that the source file
is not a disk file, but rather the local system.
4.7.5.4.9 Copy Local Operating System to Remote Flash then hard-boot Remote [8, On
Remote Only]
This command performs a similar operation as in section 4.7.5.4.7, except that the source file
is not a disk file, but rather the local system.
