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 uploaded into the terminal.
3.1 ENTERING A NODE NUMBER
Every terminal on a given system must be uniquely identified by a node
number. Entering a node number on a terminal also initialises it for use on
the system by clearing the terminals memory and requesting a full update
from the system of all menus.
After inserting the batteries or removing the terminal from its charging
station a startup message is displayed.
To set the node number, press the 3 and the 9 keys simultaneously while
this message is displayed. The prompt “Node ?” will be shown.
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 231. It is these three digits
that identify the terminal on the system.
