Terminal Operation 4 -15 PRISM 3000
4.7 Utilities Screen
The ‘Utilities’ screen ( Screen 4-12 ) handles the functions
described in the following paragraphs.
4.7.1 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
AM is entered as ‘
0345 ’ and 3:45 PM 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, 1993 is
entered as ‘
070493 ’.
NOTE: 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 10 characters. An empty string (carriage return only) may
be entered to disable the password feature. After <return> is
pressed, the new password is activated and is no longer visi-
ble. Therefore, type carefully when entering a new password
and verify before pressing <return>. 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 will appear:
Incorrect Password; Please Enter Again.
NOTE: Do not exit the terminal interface program until
the password procedure is fully understood. If a pass-
word has been specified, it must be typed exactly to
reenter the program.
If the user programs a password and later forgets it, the
password may be cleared through the front panel mainte-
nance reset (refer to
Section 3.1.1 on page 3-1 ). 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 Sup-
port for a one time use ‘back door’ password (refer to
Sec-
tion 1.7 on page 1-6 for telephone numbers).
Maintenance Reset: This field will clear all user selectable
parameters, performance registers, passwords, and alarms.
All alarm threshold parameters will be reset to default val-
ues. The unit reloads start-up configuration settings from the
default parameters stored in ROM. Pressing <return> on this
field brings up a warning prompt asking whether or not to
perform the reset function.
