Operation

The 'Smart' menu option at the root menu will provide the operator with

access to any installed smart channel cards. On selection the operator will

be prompted for a card slot identity. and control will then be passed to the

menu system of the smart channel card installed in that position. The

first menu displayed will be the Smart root menu. When at this menu the

operator may press the 'ESCape' key to return to the main multiplexer

menu.

Attempts to communicate with the card over the smart interface may fail

due to the card initialising. An advisory message will inform the operator.

This will only occur on power up or plug in of a smart card. This condition

will not last for more than 1 minute.

In the example below the operator has selected the 'Smart' option and

chosen to communicate with the card in slot A of Port 3.

The root menu of the card itself is then presented.
