CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM MENU
3.1
General
Chapter Three describes the System Menu for the MiniOCS / MiniRCS.
The System Menu is used to access and edit information using the MiniOCS front panel or using the
Remote Text Terminal, which is a feature available in both the MiniOCS and the MiniRCS. The Remote
Text Terminal is particularly useful when using the MiniRCS, because the MiniRCS does not have a
physical front panel display screen or keypad. For more information, see page 45.
The following list contains examples of parameters that can be set using the System Menu:
•
Network ID
•
Network Baud
•
RS232 Mode
•
Time/Date
•
LCD contrast
•
Fkeys mode

following guidelines.
1.
Pressing the
↑
and
↓
keys scroll up or down through the menu options.
2. Pressing the Enter key selects the system screen that the indicator arrow is pointing to.
3. Once in a system screen, press ESC (if not currently modifying a field) to return to the main
System Menu.
3.3
Editing System Menu Screen Fields
Prior to configuration, it is important to know how to edit the System Menu screen fields using the
following guidelines.
1.
Some fields in the system screens are editable; others are not editable. The MiniOCS / MiniRCS
model indicates an editable field with a solid cursor (_) under the first character in the field.
2. To change a value in an editable field, press the Enter key to select edit mode. The MiniOCS /
MiniRCS model indicates edit mode by displaying a flashing block cursor.
3. In edit mode, the fields require one of the following methods for modifying the value. Refer to the
field description to determine which method to use.
•
Enumerated entry - use
↑
and
↓
keys to select appropriate value.
•
Numeric entry - use Numeric keys or
↑
and
↓
keys on the appropriate digit.
•
Bar graph entry - use
←
and
→
keys to adjust value.
4.
After the value is correctly entered, press the Enter key to accept the value.
5. Should the user not wish to accept the value before the Enter key is pressed, the ESC key may
be pressed instead. This action restores the original value to the display. The MiniOCS /
MiniRCS model also immediately exits edit mode; however, the Text models remains in edit
mode with the original value and requires the Enter key to be pressed to exit.
