Use F10 when you are finished editing the form.
The ‘Terminal number of the master/sub–master’ and the ‘Terminal number
of this station’ are used by NM to address this station. All the units on the
backbone (the master, the concentrators, the sub–masters, and the normal
terminals which are connected to the master directly) will reflect the number
of the Master workstation in the top query.
Each workstation in the network will have a different address
(master/submaster number terminal number). The workstation number
can be
determined by entering the workstation’s configuration menu. For more
information on the Configuration Menus refer to the Attended Workstation
User Manual (Catalog No. 2708–ND001).
The terminal (workstation) type is selected using the space bar.
The ‘Terminal temporarily out of service’ field is used by NM when it is
matching the list of known workstations with the list of workstations that
have come online, so that it does not wait for workstations to come online
that are temporarily out of service.
When displaying the Network layout screen it is also possible to edit a
stations data or remove the station entirely from NM’s list of stations.
Stations are edited by highlighting their station number and pressing the
key. The Edit Station screen will appear and you are free to move
the cursor from field to field as necessary to update the information about a
particular unit.
Stations are removed from the list of stations by using the arrow keys to
highlight the station to be deleted and pressing the
key.
Change Configuration / Config. Parameters
Note: You MUST choose the Save Changes (F9/‘S’) option before exiting
the Change Configuration menu or you will lose whatever changes you make
here.
The Configuration Parameters are information that NM uses in
communicating with the network. It specifies the serial port that the host
computer has connected to the Master workstation and it specifies the baud
rate at which the host computer is to use when communicating with the
Master workstation.
