CONFIRGURATION
The unit is supplied pre- configured with factory default values. For most installations no
changes to the configuration are required.
The unit can either be configured by using the on-board Mode (M) and Set (S) buttons, or
through a PC connected directly to the Ethernet port by surfing to the web console.
Only limited configuration is available through the button method, and more advanced
configuration requires web console access. Most installations will require no configuration
changes, the unit being supplied ready for installation at default.
A minority of sites may require minimal configuration changes at installation, and most of these
will be achievable through the button config. i.e.
Change the PSTN predial string.
Change the interface combination from GPRS/PSTN to IP/GPRS
Change the IP mode from dynamic to static, and allocate a static IP
address/subnet/and gateway address.
Change the comms fail output type etc.
Button configuration
The button configuration mode is entered by holding down the Mode (M) button for 3s.
The unit will then display the first menu item PL. (Pin Learn)
The configuration mode can be exited at any time, without saving changes, by holding down
the M button for 5s.
If a user gets lost within the menus then repeatedly pressing M will return to the main menu
and eventually reach the ?? save option.
When in the main menu, each press of the mode button will step to the next menu item down,
and eventually return to the top of the menu. The full main menu options are shown in Fig. 13.
Pressing the set (S) button on any menu item will enter the sub-menu and allow the function to
be changed. Depending on the menu item will depend on the structure of the sub-menu.
Typically, many menu items simply have the option to switch on or off. Where 0=Off and
1=On. In such menu items, the Set (S) button toggles the On / Off state, and the Mode (M)
button returns to the main menu.
Some menu items have more options. i.e. F8 has 4 options to set the comms fault output type.
On such menus, the Set (S) button enters the sub menu, the set (S) button increments through
the 4 options with each press, then the mode (M) button returns to the main menu.
Some more complex menu items use the mode button to also step through additional levels in
the sub menu. i.e. P1 sets the polarity of pins 1 to 8. The set button enters the P1 submenu.
