Other TruPort
Functions
The procedure outlined below is common for all TruPort functions, and
must be performed first.
Step 1.
Run easyadm.
Step 2.
Press Select and use the cursor keys to navigate down to the
desired EasyServer. Press <Enter>. (the server must be powered
up and accessible on the network from this computer).
The Panel Configuration screen is displayed:
Step 3.
Make changes. Proceed with operations - see following sections.
Step 4.
When ready, press <Enter> in all fields until the scree is accepted.
Return to the top-level screen by choosing 'Quit', or by pressing
<ESC> repeatedly.
The new configuration is activated immediately.
Modify Port
Step 1.
Press Select and use the cursor keys to navigate to the port
to be modified. Press <Enter>. The Port Configuration screen is
displayed.
Step 2.
Select the Modify option. Press <Enter> and the previously
configured attributes of the selected port are displayed.
Step 3.
Modifications. Make modifications as required. Complete explanations
of field values and their meanings are given in Section
2.
Remove Port
Step 1.
Press Select and use the cursor keys to navigate to the port
to be removed. Press <Enter>. The Port Configuration screen is
displayed.
Step 2.
Select the Remove option. Press <Enter> and confirm that
you wish to delete this port.
Display Wiring Diagram
Displays the most appropriate wiring for this port, given the device
configuration.
Step 1.
Press Select and use the cursor keys to navigate to the port
whose wiring you wish to display. Press <Enter>. The Port Configuration
screen is displayed.
Step 2.
Select the Wiring option. Select the wiring type (i.e. RS 232).
Press <Enter> and the diagram is displayed.
Port & Device Options
Step 1.
Press Select and use the cursor keys to navigate to the port
to be modify. Press <Enter>. The Port Configuration screen is displayed.
Step 2.
Select Options. Press <Enter> and select either:
Port - specify the following
parameters:
- Auto CTS (hardware handshaking) is on or off. If 'off',
software handshaking must be used. If Auto CTS is 'on', it forces
flow control to be active, regardless of what configuration the
application has requested. A hardware hand shake cable must be used
for Auto CTS to work.
- Open Retry. If the physical port is busy, do you want TruPort
to wait and try to access the port again, or to simply fail the
port open?
- ReConnect. Do you want TruPort to reconnect the port if
the network connection is lost?
- Hangup. If the network connection is lost, in relation
to applications using the port, do you you want TruPort to treat
the incident like a modem hangup?
- Tcp NODELAY. Enable this option to improve latency on the
port by reducing throughput.
Device - specify whether the 'Onboard'
flag is on or off. This flag tells the device that the character processing
for this device is to be done outside of the host line discipline,
thus saving host cpu. Turn this flag off if a program works on a standard
serial port but not on a Stallion I/O port.
Port &
Device Analysis
Step 1.
Press Select and use the cursor keys to navigate to the port
to be modify. Press <Enter>. The Port Configuration screen is displayed.
Step 2.
Select Analyze. Press <Enter> and select either:
Monitor (single port display) - displays
a summary of the state of the current port and utilities for port
administration purposes. Information includes the devices, the device
communications parameters and a summary of the throughput of the port.
Loopback - performs
standard loopback test.
