3.18 Enter Configuration Mode on Pre IQ3 Controllers
963 allows access to configuration mode on IQ system devices that support configuration mode. Once in this mode,
simple adjustments can be made to the strategy. When in configuration mode, 963 is effectively converted into a
terminal, all the screen prompts originate from the controller, and all keyboard inputs are sent to the outstation when
the ENTER key is pressed. Configuration mode for any IQ system device on the network that supports configuration
mode can be accessed using the Configuration Mode Display, or from the Device Viewer. Buttons can also be set
up on pages to provide access to configuration mode for a particular device.
Note this facility is not available for BACnet devices.
To enter configuration mode from the Configuration Mode Display:
1. Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of this manual.
2. Click or on the Mode menu click Config to select the IQ Configuration.
3. Double-click the Lan containing the device for which configuration mode is required.
4. Click the device. Configuration mode on that device will now be open.
Note that the Navigator can be refreshed by right clicking it, and clicking Redraw Network from the
displayed menu.
5. Configuration commands can be typed in on the keyboard. All the configuration information will be
displayed in the configuration viewer.
To enter configuration mode from the Device Viewer:

2. Click or on the Mode menu click Device Viewer to select the Device Viewer.
3. Navigate to the required controller.
4. Right-click the device, and click IQ Configuration. Configuration mode on that device will now be open.
Note that the Navigator can be refreshed by right clicking it, and clicking Redraw Network from the
displayed menu.
5. Configuration commands can be typed in on the keyboard. All the configuration information will be

To enter configuration mode using a button:
1. Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of this manual.
2. Display the page containing the button.
3. Click the button or picture that provides access to the device’s configuration mode. Configuration mode on
that device will now be open.

To enter configuration mode from a value:
1. Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of this manual.
2. Display a page containing a value from the controller for which configuration mode is required.
3. Right-click the value and click IQ Configuration. Configuration mode on that device will now be open.
4. Configuration commands can be typed in on the keyboard. All the configuration information will be
displayed in the configuration viewer.
The system prompts the available functions; the upper case character in each prompt is the key to be used to select
the function. Most functions also require an additional numeric value. To exit from any page of data and save any
changes, made, press X+ENTER. To exit from any page of data and not save any changes made, press Q+ENTER.
The commands are as explained in the IQ Configuration Reference Manual (90-1533) for IQ controllers.
If the top page of the configuration prompts (Type Sensor - etc.) is answered with an ‘X’ the outstation will exit the
configuration mode. The outstation will continue with its real time control tasks whilst in configuration mode, but
will NOT respond to other (non-configuration) communications. It is therefore very important that the user ensures
that the outstation has exited the configuration mode BEFORE returning 963 to supervisor mode. Sending more
X+ENTER commands will cause no harm, so if in doubt, press X+ENTER before leaving the configuration mode.
The Supervisor will return to normal mode when the outstation responds with ‘Exit from Utility’. 963 automatically
exits configuration mode if another display is selected.
Note that if a controller is left in configuration mode, it will time out after 15 minutes.
If required the text from the configuration session can be inserted into an HTML file as described in the ‘Insert a
List into an HTML File’ section of this manual. The text from the configuration file can also be saved to an HTML
file as described in the ‘Save a List to HTML’ section of this manual. The text from the configuration session can be
printed as described in the ‘Print Text from a Configuration Session’ section of this manual.
