5.Set-Up and Configuration

This section describes the procedure for configuring the SRM unit to fit the needs of your installation. Note that the default SRM parameters are intended to fit the requirements of most applications. Before configuring the unit, please review the default settings to determine if any parameters must be changed. In many cases, the factory defaults will work just fine.

5.1. Command Mode Access

There are two ways to access the SRM Command Mode; via the Console Port and via Modem. Note that while the Command Mode is active, inbound callers will receive a busy signal.

5.1.1. Access Via the Console Port

When a Local PC or terminal is connected to the SRM Console Port, system administrators can access the Command Mode as follows:

1.Start your communications program (e.g. ProComm) and then press [Enter].

2.If the Console Port Password has been defined, a password prompt will be displayed. Key in either the Console Port Password, or the System Password (Default = SUPER), and then press [Enter]. Note that if the Console Port Password has not been defined, the Password prompt will not be displayed. The SRM Help Screen (see Figure 5.1) will be displayed.

If the SRM-100 does not respond, check the following:

·Console Port Communication Parameters: The SRM Console Port and your communications program or terminal must be set to use the same communication parameters. The factory set default Console Port parameters are 9600 bps, No Parity, 8 Data Bits,

One Stop Bit.

·Correct Port: Make certain that your communications program or terminal is set to use the Com port that is connected to the SRM Console Port.
