To activate the Special Operations Mode, hold the reset button while the unit is powering up.
Hold the button until
all
the port LEDs
blink rapidly.
Release the reset button. The port LEDs
will continue to flash rapidly after the reset button is released to indicate the Special Operations
Mode is active.
Selecting a Special Operation
After the
Special Operations Mode
has been activated (
see instructions
), there are four options
as described below:
1.
Abandon the Special Operations Mode
To abandon this mode without selecting a special operation, press and hold the reset
button for at least four seconds. While the button is pressed, the rapid flashing of the
port LEDs will stop. After four seconds, the rapid flashing will resume, you can now
release the reset button. After you release the button, the port LEDs will all be off,
indicating that the Special Operations Mode has terminated.
2.
Cancel a Special Operation
If you need to cancel a special operation after it has been selected, repeatedly press the
reset button until all the port LEDs begin to flash rapidly. Then abandon the Special
Operations Mode by pressing the reset button for four seconds, as explained above.
3.
Select a Special Operation
Operations are selected by repeated
short presses
of the reset button. Each time the
reset button is pressed; it is
counted
and represented on the port LEDs as a
binary
number,
with the port 1 LED the least significant bit. (see Table 1.) Choose the
operation which you want to perform. If you miss the selection which you want (press
the button too many times), keep pressing the button, the count starts over again once it
reaches 7 (1111 binary).
4.
Activate a Special Operation
To activate a selection, press and hold the reset button for at least four seconds. During
this time, the rapid flashing of the port LEDs will stop. When the rapid flashing
resumes, you can release the reset button. The port LEDs will turn off, indicating that
the Special Operations Mode has been activated.

Usage
Force port scanning to
first two ports
(
Scanning runs until
current scanning delay
setting times out. Default
is 30 seconds.)
ONE press
This forces the first two ports to
RS-232 mode, causing the SCM to
scan these ports and thereby
allowing access to the SCM. (see
note below)
Force port scanning to all
ports.
(
Scanning runs until the
SCM is entered or until
the unit is powered
down. There is no time
out
.):
TWO presses
This forces all ports to RS-232
mode, therefore all ports are
scanned for SCM use. The Blue
Heat/Net will behave in the same
manner as an RS-232 only model.
