2.6.1 General Configuration page Buttons
Button Action
Pressing the
Logout button logs out the current user. After
pressing the
Logout button it is necessary for a user to login
before any other menu pages can be accessed.
Pressing the
Main Menu button takes the user to the Main
Menu page.
Pressing the
Restore original values button restores
the last saved values for all parameters on the page. Note: it
does NOT restore the values to original factory settings.
Pressing the
Save button causes the changes made by the
user on the page to be saved (if the user has sufficient access
rights – see section 2.12.3) and then takes the user to the
appropriate results page (see section 2.1.2).
Pressing the
SetNV Time button sets the time of the built-
in real-time clock
11
(if the user has sufficient access rights –
see section 2.12.3) and then takes the user to the appropriate
results page (see section 2.1.2). Note: this feature is only for
systems that do not have SNTP, IRIG or GPS time sources
available.
2.6.2 Basic Multiplexer Configuration
These fields set the basic multiplexer configuration. They deal with addressing and identification
of the X501NET and the events generated by the X501NET. The configuration of these fields is
dependent on the type of configuration (non-redundant vs. redundant) and the desired mapping
of logical to physical addresses.
2.6.2.1 Mux ID (Physical Address) Field
Each X501NET must be assigned a unique physical address (typically in the range of 1 through
50).
2.6.2.2 Keep Logical=Physical Check Box
Check the Keep Logical=Physical box if the X501NET is being used in a non-redundant
configuration
12
.
11 The built-in real-time contains a battery backup that allows it to maintain time accurate within ?? ms even if the
X501NET is not connected to power for ?? days.
12 The X501NET can be use in both non-redundant and redundant configurations. When the X501NET is in a non-
redundant configuration, it typically uses the same logical address as the physical address.
