The ‘Utilities’ screen (

described in the following paragraphs.
4.7.1
General Functions
Set Time: The current time may be entered in this field
using the 24 -hour HH:MM: SS format. For example, 3:45
AM is entered as ‘
0345
’ and 3:45 PM is entered as ‘
1545
’.
Set Date: The current date may be entered in this field
using the MM:DD:YY format. For example, July 4, 1993 is
entered as ‘
070493
’.
NOTE: The time and date can be set at the far end, but
not displayed.
New Password: This field allows entry of a password of up
to 10 characters. An empty string (carriage return only) may
be entered to disable the password feature. After
pressed, the new password is activated and is no longer visi-
ble. Therefore, type carefully when entering a new password
and verify before pressing
interface is exited and later reactivated, this password must
be entered exactly to gain access. If the wrong password is
entered, the following message will appear:
Incorrect Password; Please Enter Again.
NOTE: Do not exit the terminal interface program until
the password procedure is fully understood. If a pass-
word has been specified, it must be typed exactly to
reenter the program.
If the user programs a password and later forgets it, the
password may be cleared through the front panel mainte-
nance reset (refer to
Section 3.1.1 on page 3-1
). The reset
operation sets all parameters to the factory default settings
and zeros all performance registers. If the reset operation is
not a satisfactory option, then call TxPORT Customer Sup-
port for a one time use ‘back door’ password (refer to
Sec-
tion 1.7 on page 1-6
for telephone numbers).
Maintenance Reset: This field will clear all user selectable
parameters, performance registers, passwords, and alarms.
All alarm threshold parameters will be reset to default val-
ues. The unit reloads start-up configuration settings from the
default parameters stored in ROM. Pressing
field brings up a warning prompt asking whether or not to
perform the reset function.
