•
The
>
cursor
indicates the menu item selected contains
options that can be changed using the arrow keys and the
SEL
key.
•
The
!
cursor will be displayed when a
>
menu option is
selected for change. It will also be displayed while the
arrow keys are being used to make option selections.
After pressing the
SEL
key to select the option or value,
the
!
cursor will change back to a
>
cursor after
approximately 7 seconds.
If no arrow keys are pressed within approximately 7
seconds, the
!
cursor will change back to a
>
cursor, and
the original option or value will be displayed. The
SEL
key must be pressed to store any changes when the
!
cursor is displayed.
•
The
*
cursor will be displayed for menu items that are
read-only indications, for items that are currently inactive,
or for options that are not installed in the chassis.
When the
*
cursor is displayed, the item selected may
only be changed using the Configurator software or by the
factory.
If you press the
SEL
key when the
*
cursor is displayed,
the
display will become locked on that screen
to allow
you to observe status changes, i.e., to allow you to
monitor packet errors, etc. Pressing the
ESC
key unlocks
the display and returns you to the Main screen.
Changing Operating Parameters
When the cursor is on an
operational parameter menu line that the user wishes to change,
and the
SEL
or Right arrow key is pressed, the cursor will
change and the firmware will enter the edit mode.
If the operating parameter requires values from a list of values,
the Up and Down keys provide the means to move through the
list of possible values. If the values are numeric, the Up, Down,
Left, and Right arrow keys provide the means to move through
the values in large or small steps.
The Up and Down keys move the values in larger steps, while
the Left and Right keys move the values in smaller steps. All
operational parameters have associated value ranges, defined
by upper and lower value limits.
There are two types of numeric values displayed: integers and
decimal. For example, if the operational parameter is a Preset
number, the keys allow selection of the Preset using the Preset
selection number.
When the correct value is located, the
SEL
key is pressed and
the value is recorded by the firmware and communicated to the
modules in the chassis. Further, the edit mode is exited and the
cursor changes from the
!
cursor to the
>
cursor.
Menu Option Selections
When making menu option
selections, the last option selected on the alphanumeric display
will be displayed when that menu is again accessed, unless
power has been removed from the unit.
When moving from menu to menu, it may be necessary to use
the arrow keys to move up and down through the menu options
to reach the option required.
Return to the Main Screen
You can access the Main screen at
any time by pressing the
ESC
key until the Main screen is
displayed.
Default to Main Screen
If you do not press the menu control
keys (
SEL
,
ESC
, or Left, Right, Up, or Down arrow keys) for
approximately 30 seconds, the display will automatically default
to the Main screen.
