Element ID

This field allows identifying the unit using up to 27 alphanumeric characters.

Unit Address

The unit address between 1 and 250.

LCD Contrast

Sets the LCD display contrast to a value between 0 (high contrast) and 15 (low
contrast). If the contrast value makes the screen appear blank (values 11 through
15), reset this value for better viewing.

Set Time

The time is entered in this field using the 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. For
example, 3:45 a.m. is entered as 03:45:00 and 3:45 p.m. is entered as 15:45:00.

Set Date

The date is entered in this field using the MM/DD/YY format. For example, July
4, 1996 is entered as 07/04/96.

The PRISM 41TDM is Year 2000 date compliant. All date related functions for the
year 2000 and after operate without discrepancies or interruptions.

New

Password

This field allows entry of a password of up to 10 characters. An empty string
(Enter only) disables the password feature. After pressing Enter, the new password
activates and no longer appears. 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 software prompts reentering the password.

Do not exit the terminal interface program until the password procedure is fully
understood. If a password has been specified, type it exactly to reenter the program.

If a password is programmed and forgotten, contact Verilink Technical support for
a one-time backdoor password.

Store Parameters

to EEPROM

This command causes the unit to store all user-selectable parameters into
non-volatile memory. These settings then become the saved configuration which
can be loaded at power-up.

This command causes the unit to restart and interrupt network traffic. As a safety
precaution, the system re-prompts to execute this command.

Maintenance

Reset

This field clears all user-selectable parameters, performance registers, passwords,
and alarms but saves the IP Address. All alarm threshold parameters are set to
default values. These settings are then written to non-volatile memory as the saved
configuration.

This command causes the unit to restart and interrupt network traffic. As a safety
precaution, the system re-prompts executing this command.

Factory

Reset

Clears all user-selectable parameters including the IP Address. To exit this screen
without performing the reset function, press the Enter key with No selected. To
proceed with the reset function, move the cursor to Yes and press Enter. This
operation resets all parameters to the factory default settings and clears all
performance registers.

This command causes the unit to restart and interrupt network traffic. As a safety
precaution, the system re-prompts to execute this command.
