4.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 3088 (see figure 1) has two configuration modes, DIP switch
and software.
Figure 1.
Model 3088 (3088/D version shown)
DIP switch configuration mode is entered by starting the unit with the DIP
switches in any position other than all OFF or all ON. In DIP switch configu-
ration mode, the DIP switch settings are read at system startup and used to
configure the unit. Once the unit has started in DIP switch mode it will
remain in DIP switch mode, and its settings cannot be changed. Console
commands used to configure the unit will report that the unit is in DIP switch
configuration and will not change the configuration. Likewise, EOC variables
cannot be used to configure the device. Also note that changing the DIP
switch settings while the unit is running will have no effect on the configura-
tion as the DIP switches are only read on startup.
Software configuration mode is entered by starting the unit with the DIP
switches set to all ON. The system then reads any configuration that might
have been saved to FLASH. If no configuration has been saved, then the
factory defaults are loaded. The unit may be further configured by console
commands or by EOC.
