Managing the P850 Using Menus
This section describes the minimum configuration parameters required
when setting up the P850. Each of the configuration scenarios
requires setting of operational parameters on the P850. The built-in
menu system of the P850 is used to configure the unit.
When navigating around the menu system, a new menu or an option
may be chosen by simply typing the number associated with the option
that you wish to choose. The menu system operates on a “hotkey”
principal. Each menu option may be chosen by simply typing the
number associated with that option. The P850 will accept the choice
and act on it immediately.
The menu system consists of different menu levels each containing
new configuration options. Navigation back out of a nested menu is
easily accomplished by pressing the tab key. The tab key takes you to
the previous menu level. If you wish to move from your current menu
location directly to the main menu simply press the equals “=” key.
When choosing menu options that will toggle between values, simply
pressing the number associated with that option will cause the options
value to change. Each successive selection of the option will cause the
options value to change.
Some menu options require input from the operator. When selecting
an option that requires a value, the menu system will display the range
of values acceptable and a prompt symbol “>”. Simply enter the new
value at the prompt symbol and press enter. Should you make an error
in entering the new value, the [BACKSPACE] key (for most terminals)
deletes the most recently entered characters.
