Programming with the AD2089
27
Using the AD2089 in Menu Mode
When the three-position keyswitch is in the MENU position, you are able to view the main menu of
the switching system being used. With the keyboard in MENU mode, the appropriate functions on
the multi function keys activate (see illustration in Chapter 1):
• Page Left (Off)- displays the menu page to the left
• Page Right (On) - displays the menu page to the right
• Page Up (Close) - displays prior menu page up
• Page Down (Open) - displays next menu page down
• Left Arrow (Near) - moves cursor left one character
• Right Arrow (Far) - moves cursor right one character
• Up Arrow (DVMS) - moves cursor up one character
• Down Arrow (Ack) - moves cursor down one character
• Enter (Preset) - stores entered menu data
• Exit (Patrn) - exits the current screen and returns to the previously displayed screen
Several American Dynamics switching systems provide menu programming for a variety of
functions. Camera groups, system tours, system salvos, alarm contact tables, monitor arming, and
event timers are among the variables that may be defined through menu programming.
For information about the specific tasks that you can do from the main menu, refer to the
appropriate switching system operating instructions.
Note
To store data in MENU mode, the ENTER (shot) key must be pressed to terminate the sequence.
System keyboards used prior to the release of the AD2089 allowed optional use of the ACK key to
store data. The ACK key is inoperative in the MENU mode on the AD2089 keyboard.
