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.
[
W ] and [ X] These keys are used to move to the next selection, or to move the cursor for
certain functions.
[
S] and [T]
These keys are used primarily to change configuration data (numbers), but are
also used at times to move from one section to another.
The terminal front panel control uses a tree-structured menu system (Figure 5-3) 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 (Figure 5-2).
• 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.
Note: The firmware/software referenced in this manual may be an earlier version of the
actual firmware/software supplied with the unit.
