A.3 CONFIG
CONFIG: MANUAL AUTO[OFF]
ACTIVE REMCONT OPTIONS
The sub-branches available are:
MANUAL - allows manual control of the bridge/backup of each active mod/demod.
ACTIVE - allows selection of the active mods/demods, or modems.
AUTO[ON] - allows auto mode to be turned on or off (off = manual mode). The currently
selected state is always shown on this menu
REMOTE - defines the remote control settings.
OPTIONS - sets several operating parameters of the switch that pertain to enabling or
disabling the availability of traffic mods/demods, the reporting of faults and time
delays for responding to faults.
IMPORTANT
The switch may be monitored over the remote control bus at any time.
When in Local mode, however, configuration parameters may only be
changed through the front panel. Conversely, when in Remote mode, the
unit may be monitored from the front panel, and configuration parameters
may only be changed via remote control.
A.3.1 (CONFIG) MANUAL
MANUAL SELECT:
BRIDGE:02 BACKUP:02
Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to select whether to bridge or backup, then use the
UP/DOWN keys to scroll through the mod/demod numbers until the desired number is
displayed. Press ENTER.
Manual Mode: Both these selections are available when the switch is in Manual mode
(Auto is OFF). Numbers for active traffic units are displayed during scrolling, inactive
units are skipped.
Auto Mode: In Auto mode, the switch controls the backup function, based on its fault
relay activity. Therefore, the BACKUP selection is unavailable. This screen is not
available if the switch is currently in Auto Mode AND is backing up a traffic
mod/demod.
While the redundant is backing up a traffic unit, and the user, in Manual mode,
commands the redundant to change from backup to bridging, an option is shown for
using the configuration of the redundant unit to program the offline traffic unit, if desired.
