Running the Setup Program

If this is the first time your Equity LT has been

used, you need to run the Setup program on the reference
diskette to give the computer information about the way it is

set up. This is a simple procedure that you must do at least

once. You may need to do it again later if you want to change

something.

The Setup program lets you set (or change) the following:

l

Real-time clock’s date or time

l

Backlight period for the backlit model screen

l

Default settings for the serial (RS-232C) port or ports.

The information you define with the Setup program is

stored in the CMOS RAM, which is permanent because it is

backed up by a battery. Whenever you turn on the computer,

it searches the CMOS RAM for the correct installation
information. If the computer discovers a difference between the
information in CMOS RAM and your computer, it prompts

you to run the Setup program.

To

start the Setup program, insert the working copy of

your reference diskette in drive A. At the A> prompt, type:
