Keystrokes
The keyboard commands on these menus are usually not case sensitive. You can enter
most commands in lowercase or uppercase letters.
The menus use a few special characters (?, -, +, @) that must be entered exactly as
shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT keys
to enter them correctly. For example, on US English keyboards, enter the ? command as
SHIFT and /.
Also, take care to distinguish the different uses for uppercase letter "eye" (I), lowercase
letter "el" (L), and the number one (1). Likewise, uppercase letter "oh" (O) and the number
zero (0) are not interchangeable. Although these characters look alike on the screen, they
perform different actions on the module and may not be used interchangeably.
4.1.2 Main Menu
When you first connect to the module from your computer, your terminal screen will be
blank. To activate the main menu, press the [?] key on your computer’s keyboard. If the
module is connected properly, the following menu will appear.
Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed
for advanced debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to
stop communicating with the processor or with other devices, resulting in
potential data loss or other communication failures. Use these commands only if
you fully understand their potential effects, or if you are specifically directed to do
so by ProSoft Technology Technical Support Engineers.
There may be some special command keys that are not listed on the menu but
that may activate additional diagnostic or debugging features. If you need these
functions, you will be advised how to use them by Technical Support. Please be
careful when pressing keys so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted
command.
