• Addrs - allows you to define the local DAP address and the addresses required
for proper Remote Mode operation.
• Serve - allows you to choose a digital data service or your own copper wire
(LDM).
• FPTst - allows you to verify the operation of the front panel buttons and
indicators. (To access this option, you may need to press the > button.)
• RTN - allows you to return the local or remote DAP to normal operating mode
from a testing mode and allows you to clear alarms. If the unit is equipped with
an IDBU option, it also allows you to reset the Automatic Dial Backup Retries
function.
• ALNet - stands for Auto-Learn Network. This feature allows you to make the
central unit automatically learn the T7 address of all the remote units on the
multidrop line. This option appears on the screen only when the Service
parameter is set to DDSNI, the Location parameter is set to central, the Network
parameter is set to multipoint, and the Automatic Poll parameter is set to enabled
in the DAP Configuration submenu.
To select an option, simply press the button (1 - 4) beneath it. The screen then displays a
submenu with a new set of options. Whenever the screen cannot fit all options on a
single display, it displays a flashing > arrow in the lower right corner. To display the
additional options, press the > button. A flashing < arrow then appears in the lower left
corner of the screen. This indicates that you can display the previous options again by
pressing the < button.
