Basic Relay Operations
Making Simple Settings Changes
Conversely, the Port settings command has five instances (PORT F, PORT 1,
PORT 2, PORT 3, and PORT 5). To access the PORT 1 settings, type SET P 1
<Enter>. If you do not specify which port to set, the relay defaults to the
active port (the port you are presently using).
The Group settings can have the optional one-letter acronym S attached to the
command; you can enter SET 1 or SET S 1 for Group 1 settings, SET 2 or
SET S 2 for Group 2 settings, etc. If you do not specify which group to set, the
relay defaults to the present active group. If Group 6 is the active group, and
you type SET <Enter>, for example, you will see the settings prompts for the
Group 6 settings.
Settings: Terminal
When you change settings (with any SET command) from a terminal, the
relay shows the setting category, prompt, present value, and action prompt.
Figure 4.11 shows two settings examples: multiple-line settings (SID and
RID) and an in-line setting (NUMBK) for relay Global settings from Access
Level P (protection). The relay prompts you for input by presenting an action
prompt. You have many options for navigating the settings at the
? action
prompt.
Table 4.6 lists the operations possible from a settings action prompt.
Figure 4.11 Components of SET Commands
When you exit settings entry from the SET commands, the relay responds,
Save settings (Y,N) ?. If you answer Y <Enter>, the relay writes the new
settings to nonvolatile storage. If you answer N <Enter>, the relay discards
any settings changes you have made.
