APS-8M Asynchronous Port Switch; User’s Guide
5.6. Copying Parameters to All Ports
The /CP command (Copy Port Parameters) provides a convenient means for
selecting similar parameters for all APS-8M RS232 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 RS232 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 /CP command cannot be used to set Ports 1 and 2 to Passive
Mode or Buffer Mode (Port Mode, Item 6.)
• The /CP command cannot be used to disable the Supervisor Mode at
Ports 1 and 2 (Supervisor Mode, Item 7.)
• The /CP command cannot be used to change the Port Mode at Port 8
(Internal Modem Port.)
