3. SETTING UP A TERMINAL FOR FIRST USE
Before a terminal can be used on the NOMAD network it must be assigned
a node number so that the system can distinguish it from other terminals in
the system. This will also clear the memory of the terminal and inform the
system that all relevant menus should be loaded into the terminal.
3.1 ENTERING A NODE NUMBER
After inserting a battery or removing the terminal from its charging bracket a
startup message is displayed.
While this message is displayed hold the 3 and the 9 keys down until
prompted with the message “Enter node”. The node number is entered as 5
decimal digits
xyzzz
zzz = the node number.
y = the language.
x = the system number.
The node number itself can be in the range 1 to 199. It is these three digits
that identify the terminal on the system.
The language number can be in the range 0 to 3 and indicates which
language the menus should be. The default system language is 0.
Additional languages (up to three) can be defined in the system setup for
NOMAD and individual nodes then initialised to one of these. This way
employees of different languages may work on the system side by side.
Note that to change language the terminal has to re-initialised and its
memory cleared as above. If a language number is entered that hasn’t been
defined in the NOMAD system then the default language is used.
The system number can be in the range 0 to 3. The default system number
is 0. Different system numbers can be entered in the Radionet application
and a terminal will only communicate with a system on its own number. This
allows adjacent systems to work independently.
After entering the node number as above press the ‘ENT’ key. The terminal
will then spend 30 seconds initialising its memory after which the startup
message will be displayed again.
