COMMAND DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS RANGE
†*ASSIGN
{,function,port,protocol
{,timeout}}
NOTE
function, port and protocol
information for ports 0, 1,
2 are stored in EEPROM;
this information for port 3
and all timeout information
is stored in BBU RAM.
Control allocation of user interface functions among
physical device channels. When no parameters are
entered, displays I/O configurations. Port definitions are
as follows:
Front Panel
Port Connector
0 OPERATOR PORT
1 DATA PORT
2 AUXILIARY PORT
3 DIAGNOSTICS PORT (Internal)
NOTE
It is possible to “lose control” of the 545B software by
assigning control functions to ports with no devices
attached or by turning off control functions. For
example, if you turn off the Operator Port
(ASSIGN,MNT,OFF), you will not be able to enter
commands or view printouts from the 545B. You must
open the 545B and press the Reset button on the
microprocessor board to re-enable the Operator Port.
