4.0 Operating Procedures
Operation of the RCS20 consists of controlling the unit operating parameters and monitoring status
and responses via one of the control interfaces. There are three possible control options for the
modem:
Front Panel Control
Terminal Mode Control
Command Interface Control
Any of these methods may be used separately or together to monitor and control the RCS20.
4.1 Front Panel Control
The front panel of the
RCS20
allows complete control and monitoring of all Modem and Switch
parameters and functions via a keypad, LCD display and Modem and Switch status LEDs.
4.1.1 Front Panel Layout and Features
The front panel layout is shown in Figure 3–1, showing the location and labeling of the front panel
controls and indicators. The front panel is divided into the following functional areas: the LCD front
panel display, Modem and Switch parameter selection buttons, the numeric Keypad and the LED
Indicators, each described below.
4.1.2 Front Panel LCD Display
The front panel display is an 8 line by 40 character LCD display. The display is lighted and the
brightness can be set to increase when the front panel is currently in use. The LCD display
automatically dims after a period of inactivity.
The display has two distinct areas showing current information. The bottom row of the display
shows the functions of each of the four soft keys (labeled ‘S1’, ‘S2’, ‘S3’, and ‘S4’ in Figure 3-1). If
a soft key provides a function, then that function will be displayed just above the corresponding key.
If no function is displayed above a soft key, then there is no function associated with that key, and
pressing it will have no effect. The rest of the display shows current parameter and status
information. The LCD display is a window into a large matrix of switch and modem parameters that
can monitored and changed from the front panel.
The display backlight will extinguish after a programmable delay if no there is no keyboard activity.
The backlight will then turn on whenever a key is pressed. The backlight delay can be adjusted
from the menu.
