•
Manage internal memory banks 1-4. A complete operational setup may be stored or
retrieved at any time.
•
Setup the real time clock (RTC)
•
Configure the Network Time (NTP) option (when available). See section 14.
•
Configure communication with the Mentor XL by:
o
Ethernet port.
The Ethernet port is used to connect the Mentor XL to a LAN, or to a
laptop PC when carrying out upgrades. The settings required are primarily governed
by the network arrangements at the site location. A network connection will also be
required if either the NTP option or Vector software is purchased.
o
Serial port (RS 232 or RS 422).
The serial port is used primarily during manufacture
but also offers remote control of a range of functions. Please contact Trilogy for
more information.
•
Adjust the Display by:
o
Setting the display contrast.
o
Controlling the menu timeout whereby the menu steps back to the top-level.
•
Configure the Mentor XL as “slave”, allowing settings to be retrieved from a “Master”. This is
useful when configuring a pair of units in failsafe style. Only the Master need be configured;
the Slave can request settings from the Master.
