VIEW

The user may scroll backwards or forwards through the entries
in the event log, using the

UP/DOWN arrow keys. Pressing

ENTER or CLEAR will take the user back to the previous menu.

The event log can store up to 98 events. When a fault condition

occurs, it is time-stamped and put into the log. Next to the FT

(for fault) indicator is either the TM number, RM (redundant

modem fault) or SW (switch fault). Similarly, when the fault

condition clears, this is also recorded, as shown below:

If the user selects CLEAR ALL, the event log is cleared, and the

user is taken directly back to the previous menu. However, if

there are faults present on the unit at this time, they will be re-

time-stamped, and new log entries will be generated. Note that

in accordance with international convention, the date is shown

in DAY-MONTH-YEAR format.

(MON)

TM-CONFIGS (Traffic Modem Configurations)

This screen monitors the traffic modem configurations saved in the

switch’s non-volatile memory, that are sent to the RM whenever it is

told to bridge a new TM. A ‘-‘ indicates that no valid configuration has

been saved for that TM position. This is usually due to a remote

communication problem between that modem and the switch, and will

automatically keep that TM from being activated on the CONFIG,

OPTIONS menu.

STORE/LD (Store or Load Configuration)

The user is prompted to select STORE or LOAD using the

LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys,

then to press

ENTER. These sub-menus permit the user to store or load up to 10

different switch configurations in its non-volatile memory. These are configurations

for the switch itself, not the modems attached to it.
