Administering RS232 Parameters
Action/data pairs associated with Main Menu item 10 (RS232) are used to administer
System 25 peripheral equipment: System Administration Terminal, SMDR output port, and
Digital Tape Unit.
Any or all of these peripherals can be physically connected to System 25 via branches of an
octopus cable. Within limits, it is possible to reassign each channel to different physical
connectors. For example, if for some reason a system administrator wanted to physically
connect the SMDR function to the default digital tape unit connector (connector 3), that
connector could be made to serve the SMDR function via an administration command.
If a connector function (1 through 4) is reassigned, then the function being replaced is
automatically disconnected.
