Front Panel Controls
The terminal is locally operated by using the front panel keypad. The keypad consists of
six keys. Each key has its own logical function or functions.
Key
Description
[ENTER]
This key is used to select a displayed function or to execute a change to the terminal’s
configuration.
[CLEAR]
This key is used for backing out of a selection or to cancel a configuration change which
has not been executed using [ENTER]. Pressing [CLEAR] generally returns the display
to the previous selection.
[
←
] and [

] and [
↓
]
These keys are used primarily to change configuration data (numbers), but are also used
at times to move from one section to another.
The RFT-1225 responds by beeping whenever a key is pressed:
•
A single beep indicates that the key pressed was a valid entry, and that the
appropriate action was taken.
•
A double beep indicates the key pressed was an invalid entry.
The terminal front panel control uses a tree-structured menu system (Table 4-1 through
Table 4-4) to access and execute all functions. The base level of this structure is the
sign-on message, which is displayed at the front panel upon terminal power-up.
•
Line 1 of the sign-on message displays the terminal model number.
•
Line 2 displays the version number of the firmware implemented in the terminal.
The main level of the menu system is the SELECT menu, which may be accessed from
the base level by pressing any of the arrow keys. From the SELECT menu, any one of
three functional categories may be selected:
•
Configuration functions
•
Monitor functions
•
Fault functions
Press [
←
] or [
→
] to move from one selection to another.
When the desired function is displayed on line 2, that level can be entered by pressing
[ENTER]. Once the functional level has been entered, move to the desired function by
pressing [
←
] or [
→
].
