EADS North America Test and Services                            Using the Front-Panel Controls 3-29 

 

System Menu 

Description 

The SYSTEM menu allows viewing of system information. This 
consists of the firmware revision numbers of the boot ROM and 
flash program. This information may be valuable when contacting 
customer service to resolve a problem. 

Viewing Firmware Revision Numbers 

To view the revision letters of the firmware, follow these steps: 

1. 

Press the top key. Rotate the knob until the top line reads: 

>------SYSTEM------< 

2. 

The display will appear similar to the following: 

>------SYSTEM------< 
 Firmware Revisions  
   Boot : 1.1 
  Flash : 1.1 

The third and fourth lines indicate the revision numbers of the boot 
ROM and the operating program that is currently stored in flash 
memory. 

 

Complete Menu 
Listing 

For quick reference, this section lists the complete menu hierarchy 
for the 1256 Switching System. Menu items are indented according 
to their levels of hierarchy. For example: 

LEVEL 1 (top line of display) 
 

LEVEL 2 (second line of display) 

 

 

LEVEL 3 (third line of display) 

 

 

 

LEVEL 4 (fourth line of display)
