Rev AA How to Configure the LPA 5-8
ICE Vulcan Service Manual
As such, these installation parameters are set through a configuration programme called
CLARiTY Configuration Manager.
The CLARiTY Configuration Manager (Figure 5-2) is a PC software program, that provides the
following basic features:
•
Setting of the LPA variables
•
Saving/retrieving a set of variable values to a PC file for later/ repeated use
•
Downloading a set of variables to the LPA's CLARiTY user interface for non-volatile
(permanent) memory storage in the LPA
•
Uploading a set of variables from the LPA for review/comparison/ modification
•
Updating the system software
•
Saving/retrieving language files
•
Saving/retrieving job, font, and graphics files
•

As a result, the CLARiTY user interface retains the availability of a small number of operating
variables for the user to change.
It also provides an increased level of LPA system integrity, because the configuration
variables cannot be accessed from the LPA itself, but from a connected PC.
If the LPA is installed to run in a standalone mode (i.e., the LPA is not connected to network),
the PC is only linked briefly (via the RS232 serial or ethernet port) for the period of
upload/download of the variables (a few seconds). The PC would then be removed.
