4.0OVERVIEW OF MENUS
There are two ways to access the AC8: the LCD on the front of the enclosure and the Service Terminal Interface, which is accessible through any computer using a communications program. Many viewing and configuration tasks can be performed through either interface, but some are available only through the Service Terminal Interface.
•
•Examples of all Service Terminal Interface screens appear in Appendix A - Service Terminal Interface, along with instructions on how to connect to the Service Terminal Interface.
Table 6 lists all AC8 functions and shows whether they can be performed through the LCD interface and where to find information.
