General Menu Flow
The menu interface for the DL3800 consists of the Main Menu, and a series
of Sub-Menus.
From the Main Menu, select the Sub-Menu to be selected or function to be
performed by moving the highlight bar through the menu screen with the
Cursor Arrow keys until the desired function is highlighted.
To prevent any accidental data and/or status change, every proposed
change requires a conÞrmation response. To conÞrm a proposed change,
move the highlight bar to
Confirm
on the menu and press
Enter
. Type any
other key and the change will not be made. This will cause the terminal to
continue to prompt the user to conÞrm the change(s). To abort the change,
move the highlight bar to
Exit
, and press the
Enter
key rather than
conÞrming the change.
Screen Description
The top four lines of each display screen contain information regarding the
last two status or alarm conditions reported by the DL3800. This
information includes: the severity of condition reported; the date and
time it was reported; the Unit and NET (T1 port) reporting the alarm; a
code for the type of condition, and a description of the condition.
The next two lines in the menu, which are always highlighted, represent
the Status Bar. The Þrst line of the Status Bar displays the product type,
the software release number, node number, node name, date & time, and
current alarm status of the unit. The second line displays the selected
device address and name.
NOTE: Pressing the Escape key brings the display back to Select
Local/Remote when in the Main Menu, and back to Exit when in the
EXECUTION MENU.
