Choosing a Configuration Mode
You can make configuration changes either through a VT100-compatible terminal
and the unit’s Configuration menus or by manually changing switches on the
board. The unit comes configured to allow settings to be made through the
Configuration menus.
Configuring the Unit Using the Configuration Menus
You can use the Configuration menu branch of the unit to display or change
configuration option settings.
The Hotwire 7975 Standalone Termination Unit has two sets of configuration
option settings.
The Current Configuration (the 7975 Standalone Termination Unit’s active set
of configuration options)
The Default Factory Configuration (a read-only configuration area containing
the factory default configuration options)
If the factory default settings do not support your network’s configuration, you
can customize the configuration options for your application. You must first load a
configuration into the edit area.
To load a configuration option set into the configuration edit area, follow this
menu selection sequence:
