4.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 3088 (see figure 1) has two configuration modes, DIP switch and software.
Figure 1. Model 3088 (3088/D version shown)
DIP switch configuration mode is entered by starting the unit with the DIP switches in any position other than all OFF or all ON. In DIP switch configu- ration mode, the DIP switch settings are read at system startup and used to configure the unit. Once the unit has started in DIP switch mode it will remain in DIP switch mode, and its settings cannot be changed. Console commands used to configure the unit will report that the unit is in DIP switch configuration and will not change the configuration. Likewise, EOC variables cannot be used to configure the device. Also note that changing the DIP switch settings while the unit is running will have no effect on the configura- tion as the DIP switches are only read on startup.
Software configuration mode is entered by starting the unit with the DIP switches set to all ON. The system then reads any configuration that might have been saved to FLASH. If no configuration has been saved, then the factory defaults are loaded. The unit may be further configured by console commands or by EOC.
