Operation
OVERVIEW
You can configure, control, diagnose, and view the status of the
VCOM Module with the terminal menus. This chapter describes the menu
items available for operating the VCOM Module using the terminal menu.
Security Passwords
You must have the appropriate password level to use the terminal menu to
edit items. (See the section Access Passwords in the ATLAS 550 User Manual
for detailed information on working with passwords
.
) Each menu descrip-
tion in this chapter indicates the password levels required for read and write
access.
Security level 1
users can view and edit every available field.
Security level 5
users can view any field but they cannot edit.
TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE
ATLAS uses a hierarchical menu to access all of its features. The top-most
menu level leads to submenus that are grouped by functionality (see the
menu tree in Figure 3-1 on page 3-2). All submenu items display in the VT-
100 terminal window.
The
M
ODULES
terminal menu configures and controls the VCOM Module.
The
M
ODULES
submenu,
T
YPE
, shows the VCOM Module as
VCOM
(see Fig-
ure 3-2 on page 3-2). (This will change, depending on the number of chan-
nels supported. It could be
VCOM-4
,
VCOM-8
,
VCOM-16
, or
VCOM-24
.)
The following sections describe the
M
ODULES
menu and its
VCOM
sub-
menus.
For simplicity, future references to the
VCOM
in this manual will
not carry the channel designation.
