4-20 T ERMINAL O PERATION
General
Functions
Set Time
The current time may be entered in this field using the 24- hour HH :MM:SS
format. For example, 3:45 a.m. is entered as 0345 and 3:45 p.m. is entered as
1545.
Set Date
The current date may be entered in this field using the MM: DD:YY format. For
example, July 4, 1994 is entered as 070494.
The time and date can be set at the far end, but not displayed.
New Password
This field allows entry of a password of up to ten characters. An empty string
(Enter only) may be entered to disable the password feature. After Enter is
pressed, the new password is activated and is no longer visible. Therefore, type
carefully when entering a new password and verify before pressing Enter. When
the Terminal Interface is exited and later reactivated, this password must be entered
exactly to gain access. If the wrong password is entered, the following message
appears:
Incorrect Password; Please Enter Again.
Do not exit the terminal interface program until fully understanding the password procedure.
If a password has been specified, type it exactly to reenter the program.
One method of clearing the password is the hardware maintenance reset. To
execute the reset function, disconnect power and set configuration DIP switch
S6-2 (refer to the Installation chapter) to ON (up away from the numbers). Then
reconnect power to the unit. After the unit cycles the front panel LEDs, the reset
function is completed. Then disconnect the power again and return the switch to
the OFF position. Otherwise, when the unit is powered up again, all configuration
and password information is lost.
The reset operation sets all parameters to the factory default settings and zeros all
performance registers. If the reset operation is not a satisfactory option, then call
TxPORT Customer Support for a one time use back door password. See Technical
Support on page 1 - 8 for telephone numbers.
Maintenance Reset
This field clears all user-selectable parameters, performance registers, passwords,
and alarms. All alarm threshold parameters reset to default values. The unit reloads
start-up configuration settings from the source specified by configuration switch
S4 (refer to the Installation chapter). Pressing Enter on this field brings up the
following warning:
DELETE ALL DATA AND RESTART UNIT?
(NO!) (YES)
To exit this screen without performing the reset function, press Enter on NO. To
proceed with the reset function, move the cursor to YES and press Enter. A
maintenance reset may also be performed using Switch S6-2 (see Maintenance
Reset on page 2 -9).
