Figure 5-10. System Menu
The system menu is where the operating parameters of the KST-2000A/B can be
configured. The remote communications parameters can be set (address, baud rate,
parity) as well as the setting for local (keypad) or remote mode of operation.
Settings that affect the display can be configured in this menu. The selection of one of
three receive bands can be set (KST-2000B only).
Function Description
COMM Selects between Remote and Local operation.
Remote mode is the default mode of communication.
The communications priority is defined as: 1. Remote control, 2. FSK.
With REMOTE is selected; the EIA-232, EIA-422, and EIA-485
communication is active. FSK will be enabled approximately 10 seconds
after the last EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485 message has been completed.
If the user is using the keypad/display, LOCAL would be selected. In local
mode, all remote communications are disabled (including FSK). This prevents
more than one user from having control of the KST-2000A/B at the same
time. Remote communications can be re-enabled at any time simply by
selecting "REMOTE" in the SYSTEM>COMM menu.
