Configuration changes for the entire Model 24 are made through the
master configuration port which is Port 1. Port 1 must always be a
serial port to allow configuration to occur. Port 1 has access to the
configuration of all ports on the Model 24 and can program all options
of the configuration mode.
A serial computer connected to a port other than Port 1 may access
configuration mode for that port only. However, configuration changes
are limited; several options - Port Assignment, Port Select Code, I.D.
Page Message and I.D. Page Printing Schedule - may be made only
through the master configuration port, Port 1
All serial computer ports, other than Port 1, will receive abbreviated
configuration menus pertaining only to that port. Also, when an option
is on a per port basis, the Model 24 will not ask you to Enter Port
Number, as you may only reconfigure the port to which you are
connected. In other words, computer Port 4 may only reconfigure
computer Port 4. Port 4 would not have access to the configuration
mode of any other port.
If a computer port attempts to configure a feature that is only
accessible to the master configuration port, Port 1, the computer port
will be sent this message by the Model 24:
This Option is accessible via Port 1 ONLY.
NOTE: Parallel computer ports may not be used for configuration, as
communication is only one-way.
