Changing the VHSI Port Protocol
The Eicon 1550/1551 uses profiles to make individual connections. However, the
connection profiles depend on the protocol chosen for the VHSI port. When you
change the VHSI port protocol, all profiles are erased. Therefore, it is very important to
select the VHSI port protocol first, before creating or modifying connection profiles.
If you sometimes need to use different VHSI port protocols, use the configuration
backup and restore feature as described in
Saving and Resetting Configuration
Procedure
1.
Log in to the Eicon 1550/1551 as described in
Accessing the Configuration Menu
2.
The main configuration menu appears. From the main menu, click ‘+’ next to the
‘VHSI Port’ to expand the VHSI Port subgroup.
3.
Click ‘Protocol’ from the expanded menu.
4.
To change the protocol setting, select a new protocol from the drop-down menu.
In the following example, the protocol was changed from ‘X.25’ to ‘PPP’.
Note: The ‘Protocol’ page may or may not contain general protocol settings, depending on the protocol
chosen. For example, when the protocol is set to X.25, the protocol page lists several parameters that
can be modified. But when the protocol is set to PPP, no parameters are available.
