Setup Menu
Overview
This section displays screen shots and descriptions taken from the command prompt menu system. However,
the menu structure and options are the same as the web interface.
The Setup menu contains all of the configuration options available on the S530. It is organized in a logical tree
structure with all settings classified under the following groups:
SiteBoss 530 - Main Setup Menu
A) Network Settings
B) Serial Settings
C) Modem Settings
D) Security Settings
E) Alarm/Event Definitions
F) Action Definitions
G) General Settings
H) Event Log Settings
I) Audit Log Settings
Enter your Selection:
Each section in this chapter will go over one of the above setup branches, outlining the options within.
Press either <ESC> or <Enter> to go back one level in the menu tree, or <CTRL + C> to exit any setup menu and
return to the command prompt.
Since this product allows for multiple simultaneous command processors, two administrators could conceivably
change the same option at the same time, but due to the multitasking nature of the S530, the changes are
processed in the order received.
The S530 processes setup changes in real time. In other words, the unit begins to implement changes to its
configuration as soon as they are entered. There is no need to exit the setup menu or reboot the unit to apply
changes. The exception to this rule is IP-specific network settings. Changes to these settings are implemented
only after all open Telnet command processors are closed.
Option Types
String entry
There are several different types of inputs employed within the Setup menu. The most common is the string type
entry:
A) Site Name [Test Site]
When selected, this setting will provide a prompt requesting a new value. You may press < Enter > or <ESC> to
abort the option entry or press <SPACE> and < Enter > to delete the current value and leave it blank. Some
numerical or required settings will not allow an you to leave an option blank, so pay attention to the unit's
response when attempting to delete a setting's value.
Toggle
The second most common option type is the toggle type option:
A) Enable Web Interface [OFF]
When selected, this option will not prompt for a new value. It will simply cycle to the next available option in its
list. This switch type is typically used for options with two or three choices. Most often it is in an ON/OFF form,
but could be a series of options such as "NONE", "1", and "2".
