> E – Erase the Menu Password

Causes the menu password to be erased on the specified workstation.

Directive: > E
Action: erases menu password.

> F – Reset to Factory Defaults

Causes the unit to be reset to the factory defaults.

Directive: > F
Action: resets specified workstation to factory default settings. Note that the

factory default for Terminal Number is 0, which will immediately
abort the Host communications protocol currently in use, and will
put the terminal into Standalone mode. (You may not be able to
continue commanding the workstation.)

> N – Initialize Network

Gives the Host program the ability to tailor the network for throughput. It
contains three required numeric parameters in the range 0 to 255. They affect
the network activity only in workstations which are currently serving a
network role, i.e., Master, Concentrator or Submaster. The network is
initialized after any (or none) of the parameters are reset. These parameters
are:

111

the lower polling address

uuu

the upper polling address + 1

sss

the sync count (leave at 0 for Asynchronous communications)

The parameters are the same ones which are set by entering the Main Menu
at the Keypad of a workstation. When the > N directive is issued, the
network polling will perform in the manner specified by setting these
parameters.

Directive: > N 111 uuu sss
Action: initializes network

> R – Reboot Unit

Causes the specified workstation to be rebooted.

Directive: > R
Action: reboots the specified workstation
