Communications System Overview
Initiating Communications
You can communicate with the TopKAT by one of the following methods:
• Via the LCD menu system using SW1-1 Manager Mode switch
• Via the LCD menu system using the Manager’s key
• Via terminal commands using a data terminal or PC
During initial power-up, you must use the Manager Mode switch which is located on the CPU
Board. Setting DIP switch (SW1-1) to the Open position places the system in Manager mode
and activates the LCD Menu System. The system displays COMMAND: SETUP.
You can access the LCD menu system using the Manager key any time after the System ID,
Password, and Vehicle Record for the Manager Key are entered into the Database.
You can access the TopKAT command mode via a data terminal or PC for the first time by
setting the Manager Mode switch (SW1-1) to OPEN and entering terminal commands (no
password is required). Later, when the switch is in its normally closed position, you can access
the commands by entering the correct password at the SIGN ON: prompt then entering
terminal commands. This ensures system security.
Operating Modes
There are two modes of operation, direct printout mode and command mode. In direct printout
mode, the TopKAT displays transactions and system events on the data terminal (or logger) as
they occur.
Note: The Configure Logger command (CO LOG) must be set to enabled for this to occur.
In command mode, you enter terminal commands to input data, change data, or print reports
on the system. When you are in command mode, transactions do not print as they occur,
instead they are stored in memory and printed when the system returns to direct printout mode.
Note: When you sign on in command mode, the system automatically signs off after 5 minutes
of keyboard inactivity and returns the system to direct printout mode.
