4.0 SETUP MODE
The Setup Mode is provided to set user selectable options and present
information that is useful to the user. Entering SETUP is done by pressing
the center of the CABLE/NTWRK buttons, which actually activates both
buttons simultaneously. The estimated battery life remaining is displayed
briey whenever SETUP mode is entered. The main select menu is
scrolled through using the up/down arrow buttons. There are several sub-
menus that are accessed by pressing the SEL button when the sub-menu
title is displayed.
4.1 Target Setup Sub-Menu
This is the sub-menu title screen for the selection and IP address
conguration of the four available Target IP address storage locations.
Only one Target can be active at a time for the PING test mode. Pressing
the SEL button moves the LanScaper™ into the Target selection screen.
The up/down arrow buttons scroll through the ve set able options. One
of the four stored target addresses can be selected, or the Target PING
can be disabled. This sub-menu can be exited by pressing SEL (taking
the tester back to the sub-menu title screen), or by pressing CABLE or
NTWRK to enter a test mode. Exiting this menu will leave the displayed
Target as the active one.
When one of the four Targets is displayed on the screen, the SEL button
can be used to drop into the edit IP address screen for that Target. The
IP address is edited by moving the cursor left and right using the left/right
arrow buttons, and then changing the digit above the cursor using the
up/down arrow buttons. Note the IP address is displayed in the typical
decimal dot format.
Each of the four decimal numbers separated by periods represents one
hexadecimal byte of the four byte IP address, and can only take on the
values between 0-255. Each digit in the decimal number can only be set
to a value valid for that position. Thus, the high order digit in any of the
decimal numbers can only be set to 0, 1, or 2. In addition, each digit
can only be set to a valid value in relation to the low-order digits in that
number. The high order digit can only be set to 2 if the low order digits
are less than 55. The desired IP address may have to be entered from
right to left to allow the low order digits to be set prior to the high order
digit. Any IP address can be entered for a Target, either on or off the LAN
segment, even “reserved” IP addresses can be entered. This sub-menu
can be exited by pressing SEL (taking the tester back to the sub-menu
title screen), or by pressing CABLE or NTWRK to enter a test mode.
Exiting this menu will leave the displayed Target as the active one.
