Resetting the Port

After you have modified the properties of a port you must reset the port to implement

the configuration changes in the AWAN access server’s operational database.

To reset a port, choose Reset from the Port-Specific Menu. The Port Reset dialog box is

displayed as shown in Figure 12-3

Click the check box next to the port you want to reset and then click OK. It may take a

few seconds for your changes to be implemented.

5. Click the option button for the

character size in the Char Size area.

8 is the setting most commonly used.

6. Click the RS-232 option button in the

Hardware Interface area.

Note: This step applies to Current Loop

port modules only. The Hardware Interface

area is only displayed for RS-232/20mA

Current Loop port module port modules.

7. Click OK.

Note. If the external modem has indicator lights for DTR and RTS signals, these lights will

flash off and on during a port reset operation.
