Figure 18: System Setup Menu
3.2.2.2.
Virtual Channel Setup Menu
Pressing ‘V’ at the Main Menu prompt calls up the Virtual Channel Setup menu as shown in
Figure 19. The options available here correlate to those covered in Section 3.1.5 in the
pushbutton Setup mode. However, in the Test Port System Setup Menu, the operator alters these
settings by entering the appropriate menu option following by an equals followed by the new
comma separated values. Like the System Setup menu, the current values for the Virtual
Channel Setup are displayed as part of the menu information and serves as a format guide when
making changes.
As with the pushbutton setup, this menu lets the user define up to four LRIT Virtual Channels to
monitor for DCS traffic, a value of 63 indicates an unused channel. For each of the defined
channels, the operator can allocate a percentage portion of DigiRIT’s DCS message buffer to that
channel based on the expected traffic. When altering these values, the same validation rules
defined in Section 3.1.5 are applied.
As was the case with the System Setup menu, the ‘S’ menu option saves and applies any
changes. Likewise, ESC exits the menu, abandoning any changes made since the last save
operation.
