SYSTEM CONFIGURATION & OPERATION
The Mircom Digital Communicators are configured by connecting the
CFG-100 Configuration Tool
to P4 of the DACT-
100A Main Board. Once connected, if no text appears immediately on the LCD screen, hit any key on the numeric
keypad.
The DACT supports two levels of restricted access to the
Configuration Mode
which allows for parameter
configuration and control of operation. Each level is associated with a separate
Passcode
(up to 8-digit numeric code)
and may be individually modified. Once a user gains access to the Configuration Mode, they are presented with a menu
of selections according to the level of access granted. The
factory default
Passcodes are:
Level I
- OPERATOR
“11111111”
Level II
- INSTALLER
“22222222”
A
Restore-to-Factory-Defaults
can be initiated from the CFG-100
without having to first access program mode,
by
using the special Passcode ...
Restore-to-Factory-Defaults
“12345678”
(DO NOT use this passcode as a Level I or Level II passcode)
NOTE: When reviewing the configuration (account numbers, etc.) DO NOT hit the # key, use the * key to exit.
Hitting the # key when reviewing the configuration will delete the existing data.
This “deleting” feature is
required when entries need to be removed; example 1-800 number changed to a local number.

delayed by this value, and then only sent after the period has expired
with the signal still present. A “restored” event of this signal will be
reported immediately, but only if a prior “off-normal” event was
successfully reported earlier.
