2.1.4 Saving and Exiting Setup
The first menu seen when entering Setup serves as a directory to the other Setup menus. To exit Setup or any submenu, press
[
F12]. Pressing [ F12] will return the display to the main Setup directory and with another press of [ F12] the user will exit
Setup.
The highlighted field at the right of the screen gives the user the choice of saving or not saving parameter changes into
memory before returning the TERMINAL to the normal operating mode. Settings changed will effect the operating environment
until the TERMINAL is powered-down. Setting changes will only be restored at power-up if they are saved before exiting Setup.
Note: If settings are not saved before exiting Setup, any new selections will be lost when the SERIMUX is powered-
down.
To save Setup selections, depress the Spacebar to change the save field at the right side of the screen from NO to YES before
exiting Setup. (Table 1 describes your options for exiting Setup.)
Press [
F12] to leave Setup and return to the normal display mode.
