Using Front-Panel	ASMi-450 operation is controlled by means of the display and the three push-
Push-buttons	buttons designated CURSOR, SCROLL and ENTER. The same control actions
	are consistently used for all the activities:
	CURSOR	Use this push-button to indicate what you want to change.
		Pressing the CURSOR push-button moves the cursor among
		the fields in the current display. The cursor is a bar that
		appears under first character of the selected field.
		Some fields list several different items, and then you move
		the cursor under the desired item. The item displayed above
		the cursor can be changed (“scrolled”) by pressing
		SCROLL.
	SCROLL	Press repeatedly to display the alternatives for the current
		field/item indicated by the cursor. Holding the push-button
		depressed causes automatic scrolling of the available
		alternatives.

ENTER Press it once to select the value displayed in the field/item indicated by the cursor.

∙If the selected value is valid, it replaces the old value and the change takes effect immediately.

∙If you make an incorrect selection, the selection is not accepted. In this case, you see a CONFIG ERROR message with a two-digit code in the second display row. The code indicates what is wrong. After a short time, the error message disappears and you see again the original display. Now you can correct the error.

Section 3-8 explains the error codes and what to do to correct the error.

The ENTER key has an additional function: when the alarm buffer is displayed, the ENTER key can be used to delete all the alarms in the buffer.
