12.2 Invocation
The console provides standard access and editing methods for the various
configuration items (ports, points and their associated attributes). It is important
to note that whenever you modify the point database and are ready to restart
the gateway (“exit”), you must save the database to the internal file system prior
to restarting or your changes will be lost. The console will automatically ask
you if you would like to save the database to the file system every time you exit
even if you did not modify it. If the database was unchanged, then saving is not
required. Before modifying the configuration, it is a recommended practice to
download a configuration file to your PC for backup purposes, so that the
original configuration can be restored if any unintended changes are made.
To enter the console, simply type “menu” and press the Enter key. You will
then be notified that all communication tasks will be terminated for the duration
of the editing (refer to Figure 10). It is important to ensure that all connected
devices are in a safe state such that loss of communications will not pose a
danger to equipment or personnel. Exiting the console will reset the gateway
and restart network communications using the current configuration data.
At most console prompt locations, typing “x” will return you to the previous
menu, and typing “menu” will return you to the main menu. Also note that
console commands are not case-sensitive.
