Navigating the Front Panel
The following sections provide general information on how to navigate the front
panel menus.
Data Field
Menu items followed by a colon (:) indicate a data field that you can edit.
Status Field
Menu items followed by an equal sign (=) indicate the state of the item (such as
Online).
Select and Activate a Menu Item
To choose a menu item, place the cursor on the menu item by pressing the number
corresponding to the menu item or by highlighting the menu item with the up or
down arrows.
Set the Data Field
You can edit data fields preceded by a colon. With the cursor positioned on the
submenu item number, press Enter on the front panel. The cursor moves to the
data field (to the right of the submenu item name).
Using the front panel arrows, scroll to scan the available value settings. The value
settings display one at a time. When the desired value displays, press Enter on
the front panel to set the value. When the value is set, the cursor moves back to
the submenu item position, indicating the operation is complete.
You can select another submenu field, or press Cancel to return to the submenu.
Pressing Cancel prior to pressing Enter voids any data changes. The original data
value is restored and the cursor returns to the submenu field.
