CONFIG
The sub-branches available are:
MANUAL This menu sub-branch permits the user to select which traffic
modem the switch should bridge or backup.
AUTO[ON] This menu sub-branch permits the user to turn auto mode off or
on. The currently selected state is always shown on this menu.
OPTIONS This menu sub-branch permits the user to set several operating
parameters of the switch that pertain to enabling or disabling the
availability of traffic modems, the reporting of faults and time
delays for responding to faults.
REMOTE This menu sub-branch permits the user to define whether the
switch is being controlled locally, or remotely.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The switch may be monitored over the remote control bus
at any time. When in Local mode, however, configuration parameters may only
be changed through the front panel. Conversely, when in Remote mode, the unit
may be monitored from the front panel, but configuration parameters via may only
be changed remote control bus.
(CONFIG) MANUAL
The user is prompted to enter which traffic modem the switch should
either bridge or backup. Both these selections are available when the
switch is in Manual mode (Auto is OFF), and using the
UP/DOWN keys
will scroll through all active traffic modems, skipping those that are
inactive. When in Auto mode, the switch controls backing up any
active traffic modem, based on its fault relay activity. Therefore, the
BACKUP selection is unavailable, and the BRIDGE selection is also
locked out when the switch is currently backing up a traffic modem
since the redundant modem is busy.
