3.3.1.3 Super-User Access Items

This set of configuration groups allows the user to modify parameters that are not typically changed for a
particular installation. Usually these items address parameters that have been previously characterized
for a particular mount. The need to access these items would typically only occur if a unique
customization of the system was required.

3.3.1.3.1 Reset Defaults

RESET CODE: 0 CONFIG-DEFAULTS

0-NORMAL/1-INSTALL/2-SUPER<5 DIGIT CODE>

The CONFIG-DEFAULTS screen is used to reset the controller's non-volatile memory. When this occurs,
the various CONFIG mode items are initialized to a default value. This operation is usually performed at
the factory. Access to this item is allowed only when the Expert Access flag is set. To reset the system
memory, the user must key in the same 5 digit code used for Expert Access, followed by the ENTER key.

Sections 3.3.1.1, 3.3.1.2 and 3.3.1.3 explain the items covered by the three levels of access: normal,
installation and super-user.

NOTE: the two expert access codes are contained in Chapter 5. This chapter may have been removed
by a system manager to limit use of the codes.

Besides restoring configuration items to their factory default values, stored satellite data including inclined
orbit tracking tables will be cleared.

A mount specific appendix provides tables of factory defaults for each mount type supported. It is
strongly suggested that the appropriate table be used to record installation specific data should this data
somehow become corrupted in the controller.
