Can be:
◆
a 1–15 digit number (address).
◆
a COM port:
C1
or
C2
, plus
C3
or
C4
if those ports exist.
◆
a parallel (LPT) port:
P1, P2, P3.
3
A value of

means that no status will be sent.

The parameter
On-Li ne Temporar y Changes
appears on all three screens; changing this
parameter on one screen will automatically change it on the others.
Node Name
is displayed at the upper right of the screen when the device is being controlled by the
"local" keyboard and monitor. (If the local operator is controlling a remote device, the
Remote Control ID
of that device will be displayed as the local
Node Name
.)
Remote Control ID
is required if a remote node or async terminal will be used to take control of the local
FRM (via a physical or logical port in the local device). The ID will be checked against
the called address fields of incoming Call Requests. The remote device can be a ter-
minal connected to an async PAD port on a remote node, or the remote node itself.
Make sure that each FRM, SmartSwitch 1800, and FRX4/6000
on the same network is assigned a different Remote Control ID.
Remote Control Pwd
is a password used in conjunction with the
Remote Control ID
, and will be checked
against the user data field of a Call Request packet. Both the
Remote Control ID
and
the password must match what is expected, or the FRM will not accept a request for
remote control.
File Transfer ID
is used for
file transfers
(see page 18-4) to or from this FRM. The ID will be checked
against the called address field of a Call Request packets coming into this FRM.
File Transfer Pwd
is a password used in conjunction with the
File Transfer ID
. Both the
File Transfer ID
and the
File Transfer Pwd
must match what is expected, or the FRM will not accept a
request for file transfer.
Collecting Node ID
is defined on a collecting node (described later) for use by other FRM, SmartSwitch
1800s, and/or FRXs that send their alarms to that collecting node. This same ID must
be configured on each non-collecting node as the
Primary Alarm Output ID
. The
Col-
lecting Node ID
has no function on non-collecting nodes.
Collecting Node Pwd
is a password that will be checked to verify that the
Primary Alarm Output ID
is being
used for alarms. Since the same ID can be specified for several functions, the software
processes can use the passwords to identify the different functions.
