Configuration Parameters
HCD-E1 configuration parameters are divided into the following seven
groups: system parameters (SYSTEM PARAMETER), sublink parameters
(SL PARAMETERS), channel parameters (CHANNEL PRM), control port
parameters (SP PARAMETERS), priority bumping parameters
(PB PARAMETERS), BERT parameters (BERT PRM), and download
parameters (DNLOAD PRM).
Section 3.4 describes each group of parameters and provides practical
configuration guidelines, where necessary.
In addition to the parameters configured from the front panel, there are
parameters that can be controlled only from the control terminal. These are
described in Chapter 4.
Using Front-Panel
Push Buttons
HCD-E1 operation is controlled by means of the LCD and the three push
buttons designated CURSOR, SCROLL and ENTER. The same control actions
are consistently used for all the activities:
Cursor
Use this push-button to indicate what you want to
change. Pressing the CURSOR push button moves the
cursor (a bar that indicates the selected field) among
the fields in the current display.
Scroll
Some fields list several different items. You can change
(“scroll”) the item indicated by the cursor by pressing
SCROLL.
Press this push button repeatedly to display the
alternatives for the current field indicated by the cursor.
Holding this button pressed causes automatic scrolling
of the available alternatives.
Enter
Press this button once to select the value displayed in
the field indicated by the cursor.
If the selected value is valid, it replaces the old
value and the change takes effect immediately.
If your selection is incorrect, it is not accepted. In
this case, HCD-E1 displays a CONFIG ERROR
message with a two-digit code in the second display
row. The code indicates what is wrong. After a short
time, the error message disappears and HCD-E1
returns to the original display. Now you can correct
the error. Refer to Section 5.5 for the list of the error
codes and description of what to do to correct the
error.
