As the manufacturing process of the KPA has evolved, there have been two keypad layouts as
shown in

Figure 5-2. KPA Front Panel Keypad
The function of the keypad is as follows:
ENTER
(ENT)
This key is used to select a displayed function or to execute a modem
configuration change. From the opening screen, pressing
ENTER once
takes
the user to the
SELECT:
(Main) menu.
CLEAR
(CLR)
This key is used to back out of a selection or to cancel a configuration change
which has not been executed using
ENTER
. Pressing
CLEAR
generally returns
the display to the
previous selection
or, if pressed
repeatedly
, to the opening
screen. From the opening screen, pressing
CLEAR once
takes the user to the
SELECT:
(Main) menu.
◄ ►
(Left, Right)
These keys are used primarily to move to the next menu screen section. At
times, they may also be used to move the cursor position (e.g., when editing a
parameter value or label character).
▲ ▼
(Up, Down)
These keys are used primarily used to move from one menu screen parameter
selection to another. At times, they may also be used to edit configuration value
digits (numbers) or label characters (e.g., letters).
IMPORTANT
The current production unit’s keypad has an auto-repeat feature. If a key is held
down for more than 1 second, the key action will repeat, automatically, at the
rate of 15 keystrokes per second. This is particularly useful when editing
numeric fields, with many digits, such as frequency or data rate.
