Node Configuration

The NODE CONFIG MENU allows you to configure the NODE ID, NODE
NUMBER, DATE & TIME and *NODE COMM PORT (Terminal). It also
displays the NODE HW REV and the SOFTWARE REV, which are set by
the factory.

The NODE CONFIG MENU is accessed through the CONFIGURATION
MAIN MENU by pressing Enter when

NODE CONFIG

appears on the

display. Pressing the DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW button toggles
through the submenus.

Pressing Enter when a selection is in the display allows you to view the
present configuration. Pressing Enter again will cause the entry to start
blinking and allows you to change the selection if desired.

To change the selection, use the DOWN ARROW and UP ARROW buttons
to toggle through the choices. Pressing Enter selects the option that's in
the display as the configuration. In the case of changing names and
numbers, only one number or letter will “blink” at a time. Only that
number or letter can be changed. After each letter or number is selected,
press Enter to confirm each change. The next letter or number space will
then begin “blinking” and be available for change. To abort any change,
press Exit before you press Enter.
