Comtech EF Data VMS v3.12.x Vipersat - Manual (Page 220)

General MN/22156, rev 12
4-2 VMS User Guide
The settings of any Vipersat network modem/router can be configured or modi-
fied using the VMS. Right-clicking on a device icon in ViperView will display
a drop-down menu showing the options that can be exercised for the device, as
shown in figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Parameter View and Modem Command Menu
The following describes the actions for each item/command on the drop-down
menu.
• Open – This item causes the selected modem/router to pop open a separate
window displaying the device parameters for the unit.
• Soft Reset – This command causes the selected modem/router to perform
a refresh of all latched alarms, clearing all internal table entries.
• Hard Reset – This command causes the modem/router to do a complete
process reset. Performing a hard reset is similar to power cycling the unit.
• Save to Flash – This item will save all volatile configurations to the
modem/router’s flash memory. Anytime an operator makes a change to
communication and operating parameters, it is necessary to save the
changed information/configuration.
Note: Save to Flash saves information in the selected modem/router, not in the
VMS database.
