HELP Functions
The ESTeem has over a hundred software commands to
aid the user in their application. The HELP command
allow the user to list the various software commands and
their respective values.
From the COMMAND mode, type HELP<cr>. Your
display should list the following:
Help switches are:
ALL (Lists all settings).
CHANGE (List settings changed from factory default).
CONTROL (List settings dealing with control).
PLC (List settings for PLCs).
RADIO (List settings for ESTeem radio).
RS232 (List settings for RS-232/422/485)
SETUP (List settings for control).
SYSTEM (List settings for system).
These are the different software categories.
Example: HELP SETUP<cr> , will list all the
programmable variables and their settings for the SETUP
category.
You can interrogate a discrete software command by just
typing the command followed by a <cr>.
Example: ADD<cr> , will list the current address
saved in the connected ESTeem.
Note Appendix E of this manual will have the
complete listing of software commands and
categories for the factory default of the
ESTeem.
Saving A Program
A program is saved by typing in the SAVE command at
the CMD: prompt. The programming variables that have
been changed will be written to the non-volatile memory.
The programming parameters will be loaded each time
the modem is powered up or reset.
Restoring Factory Defaults
The ESTeem has a very simple procedure to restore the
program variables in the unit to the factory default
setting. When the FA<cr> command is entered from the
command mode the ESTeem will be configured from a
variable table located in its EPROM. It is a good practice
to restore the ESTeem to a factory defaults before any
programming of the unit.
To ensure the modem is in the COMMAND MODE to
set it back to the factory default perform the following:
1. Set Bit 8 on the RS-232 setup switches to the OFF
position.
2. Reset the ESTeem.
3. Type FA<cr> and the ESTeem welcome message
should be displayed. The characters may not be
echoed on the screen.
4. Type SA<cr> to save the factory default table.
