A-7).
NOTE
1.This parameter setting can only be changed by users with Administrator rights.
2.Normally, the default setting "8008" is used. Change the setting of this parameter
only when the "8008" port is used by other software.
CAUTION
This parameter setting should only be changed by a person with a good knowledge of
the network. If the number of a port that is being used by other software is specified, it
may cause problems with the software using that port.
If you change this parameter setting, you must also set the same value for the MAPPS
NOTE
port number set in 1-4-3 "MORI-SERVER FUNCTION BASIC SETTING Screen" (page
A-49). If different port numbers are set for MORI-SERVER and MAPPS, communications
cannot be established.
MORI-SERVER A-7
3)Set the time period before a time-out error occurs in the "Time Out (sec)" textbox (Fig. A-7).
NOTE
1.If the time set for this parameter is too short, time out may occur if processing takes
some time, so make the setting 20 seconds or longer.
2.The actual time that causes a timeout error may differ from the time period set here.
4)When you have finished communications parameter entry, click the [SET] button (see Fig.
A-7) to set your entries.

the "LOG SET" dialog box (Fig. A-9) to confirm the settings.
To cancel the log output setting, click the [CANCEL] button.
A-10 MORI-SERVER
1-1-3-4Setting the Data Format
This section explains how to make the settings for two functions that operate during
communications using MORI-SERVER: conversion of carriage return codes on program output
and addition of the %LF code to the head of data being input.
1)Start the MORI-SERVER utility as described in 1-1-3-1 "Starting the MORI-SERVER Utility"
(page A-5), then click the [Data format setting] button shown in Fig. A-11.
Fig. A-11
The "Data Format Set" dialog box, shown in Fig. A-12, will be displayed.
Fig. A-12
2)Use the "Supplement \%LF" radio button in the "Data Format Set" dialog box (Fig. A-12) to
select whether the function for adding the %LF code at the head of a file for input, if there is
no such code already, is on or off.
An initial %LF code is required in program files that are input into MAPPS. If the "Valid"
option is selected for this function, when an attempt is made to input a file that starts with a 0
number and has no initial %LF code, a %LF code is added so that the file can be input in the
required format for communications.
3)Use the "Translate LF-CRLF" radio button (Fig. A-12) to select whether the function that
converts the carriage return code LF to CRLF before the data is output is on or off.
When a program is output from MAPPS, the EOB (;) code in the program is output as LF.
When this function is "Valid", these LF codes are converted to CRLF codes before output, so
when a program is opened using NotePad for example, it is displayed with the correct line
breaks.
MORI-SERVER A-11
4)After making the data format settings, click the [SET] button to confirm them (Fig. A-12).
The data format will be set and the "Date Format Set" dialog box will close.
To cancel your data format settings, click the [CANCEL] button.

2)Enter the name that will identify the machine being registered in the "Machine Name"
textbox (1).
NOTE
1.You can enter up to 64 characters for the machine name.
2.You cannot register a machine name that has been used before.

"User ID" textbox (3).
NOTE
1.If user verification is disabled on the machine being registered, there is no need to
make an entry here.
2.Due to restrictions at the machine on characters that can be registered, only upper
case characters can be used in user IDs. If a user ID is entered in lower case letters,
they are converted to upper case before registration.
5)Enter the password associated with the user ID just entered in the "Pass Word" textbox (4).
The entered password is displayed as asterisks.
NOTE
1.As with the user ID, if user verification is disabled on the machine being registered,
you need not make an entry here.
2.Only one-byte upper case characters can be used to register a password.
Passwords containing other types of character are inadmissible.
