7.4.2  USING MENU MODE

SUGGESTION: Before using the menu mode, it 
is best to disable the automatic feedback 
feature. The values and current settings will be 
displayed in the menu mode, but the automatic 
feature will display after each setting change 
making the menus difficult to read.

1.

In order to enter MENU mode, the system 

needs to be connected to a computer 
running MTSetup™ or other RS-232 control 
software.

2.

Insert the card into an empty slot and push 

in all the way for a secure fit.

3.

Reset the system or power the system OFF 

and then ON.

4.

In MTSetup™, click the cursor in the 

Terminal Window and press the ENTER 
key. 

5.

The system will interrogate the enclosure 

and return a list of cards installed and their 
slot locations.

Example: 08 (Slot 8): 

MT104-100

NOTE: Only cards supporting the MENU 

feature will be displayed.

5.

Find the alphanumeric characters 

representing the card whose setup requires 
changing. It will be the first one or two 
characters in the line.

6.

Press the number or letter associated with 

the card, and a menu with options available 
for that card will appear on the screen. In 
the example above, press "08".

WARNING: Do NOT enter any characters 

except the one relating to the desired 
menu. Pressing ENTER or RETURN after 
"08" will force the system back to the 
original prompt.

7.

After selecting the 

MT104-100

as described 

above, the system will prompt for selections 
specific to that card. 

8.

Read each menu carefully, and continue 

selecting keys as prompted for further 
functions. (Example prompt: "Key= ")

7.4.3  MENU TYPES

1.

MAIN MENU

The first menu displayed after selecting the 

card is the Main Menu. This menu provides 
access to the main functions related to the 
card. Press the key representing the menu 
item for access. A sub menu will appear 
next.

2.

SUB MENUS

Each sub menu will display either another 

menu (sub menu) or a list of available 
options or settings. Press the key 
corresponding to the menu choice to 
change a setting or select the next menu.

NOTE: Pressing the ESCAPE (ESC) key in 

most menus will take you up to the previous 
menu without making changes in the 
current menu.

7.4.4  MT104-100 MENUS

Following are the menus available to the 

MT104-100

. The first menu is the Main Menu 

only. The second listing is an expansion of all 
the menu items available. 

The expanded menu contains values that 
indicate the current setting or value of a
parameter. The value is usually in parentheses, 
or otherwise indicated at the top of a sub menu.  
In some areas, additional comments are 
provided for clarification.

CAUTION:

Pay special attention to the top of 

the CONTROL menu. After selecting the 
CONTROL menu, THIS CARD or a group will 
be identified at the top of the sub menu. Since 
group functions may be modified from this 
menu, make sure the desired card or group is 
selected.
