NM is executed by typing ‘NM’ at the DOS prompt. If the file NM. EXE is
not in the current directory, it must be in a directory included in the last DOS
PATH command. NM will immediately attempt to communicate with the
master workstation. This is acceptable if the host communication parameters
are set correctly, but if they are not then press <ESC> to bypass the initial
communications.
The following discussion is for those who have not setup NM’s
communications parameters.
1. Start NM
2. Bypass NM’s initial attempt at communicating by pressing <ESC>.
3. Press
<F7>/‘S’ to get to the Supervisor Menu.
4. Press <F2>/‘C’ to get to the Change Configuration Menu.
5. Press <F3>/‘C’ to get to the Configuration Parameters.
At this point, select the COM port to which the cable from the Master
workstation is connected. If it differs from the default, then simply type in a
‘1’ or a ‘2’ and press <ENTER>. Next, type in the baud rate which the
Master workstation was set to and press <ENTER>.
Next, press <ESC> to back out of the Configuration Parameters and press
<F4>/‘O’ to get to the Options Menu. Make sure that ‘Use
Request/Response Mode Instead of Polled Mode’ is set to ‘No’.
Press <ESC> to back out of the Option Menu to the Change Configuration
Menu. Press
<F2>/‘N’ for Network Layout. Using the up and down arrow
keys on the PC’s keyboard, highlight the Master terminal and press
<ENTER>. The Edit Station menu should appear.
The terminal number of the Master workstation needs to be entered. For the
Master workstation, the workstation number will be the same. Press <F10>
when finished.
Stations can be edited by highlighting them then pressing <ENTER>. To add
a station to the list of stations, simply press the <DOWN ARROW> key
until no more stations are highlighted and press <ENTER>. Then edit the
Edit Station menu and press <F10>.
Once the Network Layout is complete, press <ESC> and answer ‘ Y ’ to save
changes to network layout. Then press <F9>/‘S’ to save changes done to any
other menus. Press <ESC> twice to return to the Main Menu.
