Upon successfully logging-in to the controller the display shows the menu system. This can be navigated in one of two
ways, either by using the navigation keys or using shortcuts through the numeric (0-9) keys or indeed a mixture of the
two. The following sections explain the navigational aspects of the programmer menu.

For some operations, it is required to manually enter data, such as card numbers, new passwords etc. For these use the
numeric (0 to 9) keys to input the required data.
In all menu systems the #
#
#
# key has one of two functions:
Escape. Pressing the #
#
#
# key while in menu options will return to the previous menu level. In the case where the top-
level menu options are displayed (i.e. the one that gives ACU, Card, Keypad and Config as options), pressing the #
#
#
# key
will log out of the SOLOgarde controller.
Delete. While in screens where you are entering data (for example entering cards numbers) pressing the #
#
#
# key will
delete one character of the entry. If there is no data entered (or you have deleted it all using the #
#
#
# key) pressing the #
#
#
#
key will return to the previous menu level.
