Invocation
The console provides standard access and editing methods for the various
configuration items (points and their associated attributes). It is important to
note that unless otherwise indicated, any modifications made to the point
database will become effective immediately. However, these changes will only
be permanently retained when the current database is saved to a file location:
if a change is made to the database and then the gateway is reset without
saving those changes, then the active file will be restored upon initialization,
overwriting the unsaved changes.
To enter the console, simply type “
menu
” and press the Enter key. You will
then be notified that all communication tasks will be terminated for the duration
of the editing (refer to Figure 16). It is important to ensure that all connected
devices are in a safe state such that loss of communications will not pose a
danger to equipment or personnel. Exiting the console will reset the gateway
and restart network communications using the currently-active database file.
At most console prompt locations, typing “
x
” will return you to the previous
menu, and typing “
menu
” will return you to the main menu. Also note that
console commands are not case-sensitive.
