Chapter 4 Operation
System Setup Menu (key 6)
The System Setup sub-menu allows the operator to display and modify various system
operation parameters. The default system parameters that the MMI uses after turn-on is
stored in the floppy disk file Guide. A 6-digit password (which is also stored in the
Guide file) must be entered correctly before access to the System Setup screen is allowed.
The password digits are not echoed as they are entered, and no Enter key is required. If
the user fails to enter the correct password after the fourth attempt, all access to the
System Setup menu is barred until the MMI is restarted. Figure 9 shows the layout of
the System Setup screen.

operation. The following is a summary of each option:
Option 0: This option is used to toggle the reading method between the Lat/Lon,
GEO, and FIFO mode.
Option 1: This selects whether the MMI will display the total number of good
readings, the transponder serial number, meter reading, and street address
of a transponder after a good read. The options are YES and NO.
