Configuration
Overview
This section explains how to access and use the configuration menus. Menu items are described in
the order that they appear in the main menu.
There are three different menu trees available to the user as follows:
• The Main System Menu - This is the normal menu used by the user and contains all of the
sub-menus and contains detailed information related to the operation of the unit.
• The Setup Menu - This menu is the one that comes up the first time the unit is powered up.
It displays configuration parameters that can be modified to allow the user to get the Libra
unit up and running quickly. When the user is done with the setup a command can be exe-
cuted that will cause the Main System Menu to come up the next time the user logs in. The
Setup menu canbe brought up again at any time from the main menu by selecting the
"Setup" option.
• The PDA Setup Menu - This menu has its own logon id and like the Setup menu above is
used to allow the user to configure the Libra unit quickly. A PDA can be connected to the
serial port of the Libra unit using a special cable so that the installer can get the Libra unit
running where it is installed and not have to go to the user’s computer to determine if it is
communicating.
The menus described above are the starting points for all Libra configuration parameters. The Main
System Menu and the Setup Menu are accessed from a local PC connected via RS-232 to the Libra
unit. The PDA Setup Menu is accessed from a PDA device such as a Palm Pilot connected to the
Libra unit via RS-232 using a special Wi-LAN supplied cable.
The Libra 5800 is configured as either a P-MP system with AP, CPE or LCPE, or a P-P system with
base station and remote. The P-P units use a protocol optimized for P-P operation and therefore
cannot communicate with P-MP units. These configurations are factory set and cannot be changed
by the user. The description of the menus will highlight the differences between the different types of
units.
