3.4 Remote Screen / Keypad (Using Remote Text Terminal and Status Bar)
The MiniRCS has the same functionality as the MiniOCS except that it does not have a local operator
screen and keypad. However, the MiniRCS (as well as the MiniOCS) supports a remote operator screen
and keypad through a PC connected to the Mini unit’s built-in network or serial port. If desired, the
remote operator interface and keypad can be displayed (using Cscape software) by pressing Screens,
Remote Text Terminal. A virtual display screen and keypad appear that are similar to that of the
MiniOCS, and the user can navigate through the system menu, make selections, and edit fields using a
mouse. In addition, the Cscape Status Bar can be used as a tool to ensure that communications are
properly established. For more information on the Remote Test Terminal and the Cscape Status
Bar feature, see page 45.
3.5 Initial System Menu Screens and Self-Test
Note: The examples in this chapter depict the MiniOCS, but the information also applies to the MiniRCS
when using the Remote Text Terminal screen. (Refer to Section 3.4.)
1. After turning on the power to the Mini, the following screen appears which indicates the product
name and the network it is connected to. It also indicates that the Self-Test is running.
(This screen does not appear when using the Remote Text Terminal.)

b. If the Self-Test fails, see View OCS(RCS) Diags (page 41.)
3.6 Entering the System Menu
a. To enter the System Menu on the MiniOCS using the local keypad, press both the ↑ and ↓ keys
at the same time. Notice that the two keys are surrounded by a white outline and the word
“System” on the silkscreen of the keypad.
b. If using the MiniRCS, refer to Section 4.1 (starting on page 45) to use the Remote Text Terminal
to create a virtual keypad and screen. Be sure to follow the procedures to establish and verify
proper communications (page 46). After doing so, the following menu options can be accessed
by clicking the specified key in the display representation using a mouse.
