Chapter 4. Front Panel Operation and Menu Structure

Flow Ctl

This option sets the flow control for the chain port. You can configure the chain port flow control for OFF or H/W (hardware).

Type

Sets the Port Type to either Direct or Dial. Select Direct to connect to a local VT 100 and select Dial to connect via a modem.

Unit ID

This menu accesses the current Unit ID setting, which is the system identifier used for ADTRAN Data Link Layer Protocol (ADLP) con- figuration control (such as using T-Watch PRO).

Editing or changing the Unit ID requires the use of a passcode if a passcode is defined. See “Set Passcode (Front Panel)” on page 4-8 for details on working with passcodes. Unit Identification numbers must be between 2 and 9999. The number 1 is reserved for the PC.

Press Enter to record the Unit ID number and establish its availability when operating by remote control. Press Cancel at any time to end the editing process.

Init Modem

Selecting Init Modem provides the option to send the modem initial- ization string (e.g., ATE0V1&D2S0=1) from the chain port to a modem connected to the chain port. Configure this string in the ter- minal menus. See “Modem Initialization String” on page 5-14 for details on how to change this field.

The Init Modem option is only used if Type is set to Dial.

S1 through S8 (modules)

Select options S1 through S8 to display the current configuration options of installed modules. S1 corresponds to slot 1, S2 to slot 2, and so on. When you select one of these options, you can enable or disable the selected module. The current status, ENA (Enabled) or DIS (Disabled), displays next to the module name. Set this field to DIS (Disable) prior to removing a module from the ATLAS 800PLUS unit.

Utility Menu

The Utility menu allows miscellaneous settings to be displayed or modified.

Time/Date

This menu option displays and/or edits the current time and date. The

ATLAS 800PLUS maintains the time and date during power off conditions.

After any numeric change, press Enter to record the entry and move to the next editing position. You can also move to a different field to edit by pressing Enter at the editing position without making any change, or by using the up and down arrow keys. Press Cancel at any time to end the editing process.
