CHAPTER 1
OIT Configuration
The OIT has many operating parameters that control how it communicates to the host
controller. These operating parameters can be changed in three ways: from the OIT’s
keyboard when the OIT is in Configuration mode, when the host controller sends a
Configuration Control Command, or by downloading a STEPware-100 project. This
chapter explains Configuration mode and describes all of the OIT’s operating parameters.
Refer to the STEP1 Protocol Operation Manual - Chapter 1: Getting Started for
instructions on creating and downloading a STEPware-100 project.
Configuration Mode
Configuration mode allows the OIT to communicate with a computer using the
STEPware-100 configuration software. It also provides the ability to make quick changes
to the operation of the OIT without using STEPware-100. Configuration mode can only
be accessed when power is being applied to the OIT.
To place the OIT into Configuration mode:
1. While applying power to the OIT, press and hold the OIT’s CLEAR key while the
following messages appear: Initializing, Configuration mode!, and Parameters?
MODIFY.
Notes: 1. To exit configuration mode, press the OIT’s CLEAR key.
2. If the Initializing Configuration mode! message is followed by Terminal Now
Ready!, the OIT did not enter Configuration mode and you need to repeat step 1.
3. If the Disp View Angle: message displays instead of Parameters?, Local Setup Access
has been disabled. You will need to enable Local Setup Access by connecting the OIT to a
host controller and having the host controller send the Keyboard Control command to the
OIT. Refer to Appendix A: Control Commands for more information. Please refer to
Appendix E: Troubleshooting for more tips on entering configuration mode.
4. If the OIT’s display remains blank and you hear a steady beeping, the OIT does not
contain a complete project and is waiting in download mode for STEPware-100 to
download a project. Refer to the STEP1 Protocol Operation Manual - Chapter 1:
Getting Started for instructions on creating and downloading a STEPware-100 project.
2. At Parameters?, press the OIT’s Period (.) key to alternate between MODIFY and VIEW,
then press the OIT’s ENTER key to accept and continue.
