4-22 T ERMINAL O PERATION
The unit makes three attempts to connect using the primary number. If all three attempts
fail, it makes three attempts to connect using the secondary number (if it is not blank). If
the secondary number fails, the unit waits five minutes and then attempts to communicate
with the primary number again. When a connection is detected, the unit outputs the
notification message (as described in the Element ID field) then disconnects.
Element ID This field allows the entry of an ASCII string (29 characters long) which identifies
the unit to the device receiving the alarm notification messages. Call on alarm
(COA) messages are in the following format:
HH:MM:SS MM/DD/YY Element ID <CR> <LF>
NET Alarms: alarms <CR> <LF>
DTE Alarms: alarms <CR> <LF>
where (alarms) is a string consisting of some or all of the identifiers LOS, OOF,
RAS, AIS, UAS, ERRS, or the word NONE. The following is an example.
17:24:55 08/04/93 Joesunit
NET Alarms: LOS AIS ERRS
DTE Alarms: LOS
The user-programmable Element ID string is transmitted first to allow the COA function
to send a message with a specific meaning to some host (such as a log on message).
The identifier ERRS represents an alarm that is caused by ES, SES, and/or BPV errors.
New
Password
This field allows entry of a password of up to 10 characters. An empty string (Enter
only) may be entered to disable the password feature. After Enter is pressed, the new
password is activated and is no longer visible. Therefore, type carefully when
entering a new password and verify before pressing Enter. When the terminal
interface is exited and later reactivated, this password must be entered exactly to gain
access. If the wrong password is entered, the following message appears:
Incorrect Password; Please Enter Again.
Do not exit the terminal interface program until the password procedure is fully understood.
If a password has been specified, it must be typed exactly to reenter the program.
If the password is lost or forgotten, call the TxPORT Product Technical Support
for a one-time use back door password. See TxPORT Customer Service on page
1-9 for telephone numbers.
Maintenance
Reset
This field clears all user-selectable parameters, performance registers, passwords, and
alarms. All alarm threshold parameters are reset to default values. The unit reloads
start-up configuration settings from the source specified by configuration Switch S6
(see Configuration Switch S6 on page 2-5). Pressing Enter on this field brings up
the following warning:
DELETE ALL DATA AND RESTART UNIT?
(NO!) (YES)
To exit this screen without performing the reset function, press Enter with (NO)
selected. To proceed with the reset function, move the cursor to (YES) and press Enter.
