13. Command Echo: Enables or Disables the command echo for this port. (Default = On).
14. Accept Break: Determines whether the port will accept breaks received from the

attached device, and pass them along to a connected port. When enabled, breaks received

at this port will be passed to any port that this port is connected to, and sent along to the

device connected to the other port. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this port,

and hence, not sent to the other port. (Default = Yes)

5.6. Copying Parameters to All Ports

The /CP command (Copy Port Parameters) provides a convenient means for selecting similar

parameters for all APS RS-232 ports.
When the /CP command is invoked, the unit will display a menu which allows you to select

port communication parameters, then copy them to all APS RS-232 ports. The Copy Port

Parameters menu can be used to set all parameters for all RS-232 Ports, or define only a select

group of parameters and then copy them to all ports.

Notes:

• The /CP command is only available in Supervisor Mode.
• The Copy Port Parameters Menu will not display the Port Password. This field

will read either “undefined” or “defined”, depending upon whether or not the Port

Password has been specified.

• The /CP command cannot be used to set Ports 1 and 2 to Passive Mode or Buffer

Mode (Port Mode, Item 7).

• The /CP command cannot be used to disable the Supervisor Mode at Ports 1 and 2

(Supervisor Mode, Item 8).
