EMS Wireless Operator’s Manual

EkoLink II

The last entry “2>” is the prompt indicating the user’s level of privilege. The

prompt may be composed of several “reminders”; where a single capital letter

indicates a system change. These reminders are as follows:

<1> Login privilege level of “guest”

<2> Login privilege level of “user”

“A” An alarm is active

“C” Calibration tables are invalid; the default calibration

tables are in use.

“F” Settings do not agree with the stored values in flash memory.

This is usually the result of a change due to a user’s command

setting. All settings are read from the user’s settings in

flash on power-up. If the check value does not agree, then

the default settings are used.

2.9.2 Command Structure

There is an extensive user help menu available to the user and a separate

software command reference manual. The basic format for all the

commands is:

<Primary-Command> <Secondary-Command> = <setting>

All commands are made up of this generic format; in some cases, there is no

setting or secondary command. The command set is basically a tree

diagram, where typing in the primary (and optionally secondary) command

with the setting result in a change in the module’s operational parameters.

All input is case-insensitive for commands. For example:

set laser 1 = on

This command would turn the laser #1 on at the present potentiometer

setting stored in memory.

2.9.3 Remote Alarm Disabling

From the factory, the Hub is programmed to alarm any time a Remote is

disconnected from the Hub. This safety feature is designed to indicate such

catastrophic events as the fiber to the Remote being cut. For a Hub that

does not use all four channels, the unused channels will report an alarm by
