CHAPTER 2
OIT Configuration
Your OIT must be configured using the STEPware-100 configuration software before it
can communicate with your host controller. Refer to Chapter 1: Getting Started for
instructions on creating and downloading a STEPware-100 project. After your OIT is
configured, some of the OIT’s operating parameters can be changed from the OIT’s
keyboard when the OIT is in Configuration mode. In addition, several Control
Commands allow the host controller to dynamically change some of the OIT’s operating
parameters. This chapter explains Configuration mode and the OIT’s operating
parameters.
Configuration Mode
Configuration mode allows the OIT to communicate with a computer using the
STEPware-100 configuration software. It also provides the ability to make quick changes
to the operation of the OIT without using STEPware-100. Configuration mode can only
be accessed when power is being applied to the OIT.
NOTE: If using an OIT3165/4165, OIT3175/4175 or OIT3185/4185, refer to Appendix D for
the setup keyboard layout.
To place a previously configured OIT into Configuration mode:
1. While applying power to the OIT, press and hold the OIT’s SETUP or CLEAR key
while the following messages appear: Initializing, Configuration mode!, and
Parameters? MODIFY.
Notes: 1. To exit configuration mode, press the OIT’s CLEAR key.
2. If the Initializing message is followed by Terminal Now Ready!, the OIT did not
enter Configuration mode and you need to repeat step 1.
3. If the OIT Brightness, Disp View Angle, or Baud Rate message displays instead of
Parameters?, Local Setup Access has been disabled. You will need to enable Local
Setup Access by connecting the OIT to a host controller and having the host controller
send the Keyboard Control command to the OIT. Refer to Appendix A: Control
Commands for more information. Please refer to Appendix F: Troubleshooting for
more tips on entering configuration mode.
4. If the OIT’s display remains blank and you hear a steady beeping, the OIT does not
contain a complete project and is waiting in download mode for STEPware-100 to
download a project. Refer to Chapter 1: Getting Started for instructions on creating and
downloading a STEPware-100 project.
