Note

Some SETUP options can put systems into an unrecoverable state; a display option can be set preventing the SETUP screens from being seen. Installing a jumper between J11-7 and J11-8 (Serial 1 DTR and RI) temporarily sets all SETUP functions to their default state, bypassing the SETUP parameters stored in the configuration memory so that SETUP can be reentered and the problem corrected.
