Chapter 3Operation and Configuration

INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the 2185 operating controls and indicators, how

to configure and operate your 2185 using these operating controls, and

how to power-up and power-down the unit.

Once configured, your 2185 operates unattended, without operator

intervention. Occasional monitoring of the LED status indicators is

recommended.

OPERATING CONTROLS AND

INDICATORS

The 14 LED indicator lamps used to monitor operating status on the

2185 are visible from the front of the unit through windows in the

swing-down front door (see Figure 3-1). All operating controls and

switches on the 2185 are readily accessible when you open the front

door (see Figure 3-2).
