Compatible Systems 5.4 - Manual (Page 18)

12 Chapter 1 - Installation and Overview
• Save config, but don’t restart device. This parameter will save an
edited configuration without restarting the device. The changes will not
be applied until the device is restarted. This is the equivalent of the
command line’s write command.
• Don’t save config, but use new config immediately. This parameter
will apply an edited (but not saved) configuration to the device’s current
operations. If a restart occurs, changes will be lost. This is the equivalent
of the command line’s apply edited command.
• Save config and use immediately without restarting. This parameter
will save an edited configuration and immediately apply it to the device’s
current operations without restarting the device. This is the equivalent of
issuing the apply command and then the write command in the
command line.
v Note: Some of these options are not yet available for all Compatible
Systems products. To find out whether your device supports them, you must
right-click on any configuration item for that device in the Device View and
select Properties from the popup menu, then click on the Save/Restart tab.
Advanced Tab
• Packet Retry Interval. This parameter determines how long Compati-
View will wait for a response from a device before resending a packet.
The default value is 10 seconds.
• Maximum Connection Timeout. This parameter determines how long
CompatiView will continue retrying before giving up. The default value
is 40 seconds.
• SAP Update Interval. This parameter determines how frequently
CompatiView will retrieve SAP packets. When IPX is in use, lowering
this number may make devices appear more quickly when adding new
devices to the Device View. The default value is 20 seconds.
v Note: The default value of 40 seconds for the Maximum Connection
Timeout is long enough to bring up a modem-based dial-on-demand link.
The Control Menu
The Control menu is primarily concerned with operations on physical
devices.
Compatible Systems products use Flash ROM technology to store their oper-
ating software and configuration parameters. Flash Rooms can be rewritten
tens of thousands of times and will maintain the information which has been
written in them regardless of whether they are powered on or not.
