The screen above will appear a few seconds later. The last line of the
display will have the letters SA (Stand Alone Mode), MM (Multiple
System Manager Mode) or NM (Network Mode) followed by the cur-
rent outdoor air temperature. The System Manager normally ships from
the factory set for SA (Stand Alone Mode). If you have a CommLink or
MiniLink polling device on your system and only have a single System
Manager, the system must be set for NM (Network Mode). If you have
a CommLink or MiniLink polling device on your system and have mul-
tiple System Managers on your System, the system must be set for MM
(Multiple System Managers Mode). If you believe your system is in-
correctly configured, please follow the instructions that follow. If your
system is configured correctly, proceed to the System Manager Net-
work Mode Loop Search section.
Configuring For Stand-Alone Mode, Multiple
System Managers Mode or Network Mode
The System Manager must be configured for the correct mode of opera-
tion for your system. Their are 3 modes of operation available for the
Orion System. They are “Stand Alone Mode”, “Multiple MGRS
Mode” or “Network Mode”. Look at the bottom line of the display as
mentioned in the previous paragraph and determine which one your
System Manager is currently set for. If you are using this System Man-
ager on a communications loop that doesn’t have a MiniLink PD or
CommLink II communications interface connected to it and you have a
single System Manager on your system, then you need to operate in
“Stand Alone Mode” and the first two characters on the bottom line of
the display should be “SA”. If you are using this System Manager on a
communications loop, have a MiniLink PD or CommLink II communi-
cations interface installed and you have multiple System Managers, then
you need to operate in “Multiple MGRS Mode” and the first two char-
acters on the bottom line of the display should be “MM”. If you are
using this System Manager on a communications loop that has a
MiniLink PD or CommLink II communications interface installed and
you have a single System Manager for your entire system, then you
need to operate in “Network Mode” and the first two characters on the
bottom line of the display should be “NM”.
If your display indicates a different mode than the one you need, press
the “Enter” key and the following screen will appear.
1) Set Time & Date
2) Communications
->) Next Menu
ESC) Exit Menu
Press the “2” key on the keypad to enter the communications screen.

For “Stand Alone Mode” enter “0”.
For “Multiple MGRS Mode” enter the address at which you want this
particular System Manager to be set. When multiple System Managers
are used on a local loop, each must be set with a unique address differ-
ent from any other device on that loop. You must perform this same
operation again for each System Manager installed. If you want one of
these System Managers to be able to indicate alarms and overrides for
the entire system you must enter “63” for “Network Mode” on that
particular System Manager.
For “Network Mode” (or as explained above for Multiple System
Managers when one is to be set to indicate alarms and overrides) enter
“63”.
Once you have the correct number per the display above displayed,
press the "Enter" key. The following screen will appear telling you that
you have changed the system mode. Press any key on the keyboard to
