Man-Machine Interface (MMI) – Display with User Guide

5.1 Overview
Getting started You can use the MMI to enter X4000 ’s IP address and netmask without first
having to set up a serial connection to X4000 . This simplifies the initial
configuration, as you can first assign an IP address to X4000 and then set up
the equipment and connect it in the planned location. The configuration is then
carried out from your PC via your network (e.g. using the Setup Tool).
Status information The display of status information in the MMI enables you to monitor X4000
activities without having to log in. This provides an additional diagnostic tool,
which can display information such as the current version of the system
software or the activities of the X4000 interfaces.
User guide Illuminated input keys and navigation bars simplify operation of the MMI and
guide you through the menu architecture so that you can make settings in each
menu without having to search for each menu individually. You can still open a
certain menu if you wish.
Logo After switching on, X4000 first performs a few selftests and then shows the
X4000 logo on the display (see Figure 5-1, page 93 ). Press any input key to use
the MMI. If no more inputs are made for a long period of time, the MMI returns
to the logo. You can set this period of time in the "Display Idle Timer" menu.
Access protection The MMI is operated in Configuration Mode as the default mode and all MMI
functions can be used. In Monitoring Mode, each menu can be displayed, but
entries are only possible to a limited extent. For example, the IP address
entered can be displayed in Monitoring Mode, but not changed.
X4000 ’s logo is normally shown on switching on X4000 or on expiry of the
display idle timer.
To use another MMI menu instead of this, show the desired menu on the
display and then press C and OK simultaneously. The corresponding menu
then appears instead of the logo when the idle timer expires.
This enables you, for example, to display a certain default interface of X4000
for monitoring purposes.
