4. Start-Up / Configuration
1. Access the RPB+ Command Mode: The RPB+ is
transparent to parity and will accept 7 or 8 bit characters,
but will always answer back at 8 bits, no parity. Make
certain your communications program (e.g. ProComm) is
set for the appropriate baud rate, bits, and parity. It is also
recommended to set the communications program for TTY
mode.
a) Via Modem: Start your communications program.
Dial the external modem connected to the RPB+. Wait
for the Connect message and proceed to Step 2.
b) Via Local PC: Start your communications program.
2. Password: If the Password function is enabled, the unit
will display a prompt. Key in the Password and press
[Enter]. If the password has not yet been defined, just
press [Enter].
Notes:
· The Password feature is case sensitive.
·
If you forget your password, press the Default
Button when the Password Prompt appears, then
invoke the /P command to display the Password.
3. The RPB+ will display the Status Screen (Figure 5).
4. When the "RPB+>" prompt appears, type /P [Enter] to
define system parameters. The unit will display a series of
prompts.
Notes:
·
RPB+ commands are not case sensitive.
·
To skip a prompt without changing its current
definition, press [Enter].
·
To exit from the Define Parameters function, press
[Esc] at any time. Parameters defined up to that
point will be saved.
a) Location: Key in a text string that describes the RPB+
location (up to 23 characters).
