READING AND NAVIGATING MENUS

The status bar at the bottom of the screen displays the circuit ID, the current date and time, unit type, and current system information. Select Config from the console screen menu bar to enter or change the circuit ID and the current date and time. The items described in Table 15 correspond to the numbers in Figure 15.
