Network Com Active
Initiate Comm
This option starts NM communicating with the master workstation. This is
approximately the same as a reset network command but the upper and lower
polling addresses are not set on the Master workstation. This command
can
also be performed from any menu by pressing <ALT><I>.
Terminate Comm
This command terminates communications with the workstations and puts
NM in a network communications inactive mode. It is good practice to
terminate communications prior to changing any of the configuration
parameters that may affect host communications. This command can also be
performed from any menu by pressing
<ALT><T>.
Direct Interaction
The Direct Interaction command allows the user to interact with the network
just as you would with a standard communications package. This is a useful
feature for installers and systems integrators since it allows you to see all the
data from the Master workstation. You will need to have a good working
knowledge of network directives and their responses before beginning. Refer
to Attended Workstation User Manual (Catalog No. 2708–ND001) for more
information.
