Main Menu (cont’d)

When you make a program selection from the terminal, the screen is displayed again with the new value(s).

A local terminal can be connected directly by an EIA-232 communication cable to the RAC2-8, or a remote terminal can be connected through modems. All of the status information and control functions available at the RAC2-8 local display are available from the terminal. An additional function available at the terminal is Set Modem.

The terminal also displays a status message with time and date stamp whenever a unit changes status (OFF or ON). These status messages will be printed if a printer (instead of a terminal) is connected to the EIA-232 port. Once each 24 hours (at midnight) the terminal checks its ability to communicate with the RAC2-8 and writes a Comm Check message.

A terminal connected to an active RAC2-8 displays alarm and status messages when they occur. The prompt then asks the operator to press <space>, <S>, or <A>.
