Configuring the Terminal
3.1 General
In many cases, the terminal will have been configured in the factory, however it is
recommended that certain operating parameters be checked and corrected as required
before attempting to set-up a link.
The EX7100 is equipped with a powerful configuration, monitoring, and diagnostic, system
that may be accessed using the six-button keypad and LCD on the front panel. The front
panel also has four LED's that indicate the operating status of the terminal, as well as any
alarms being generated by the terminal.
3.2 Using the Keypad
The EX7100 six-button keypad allows the user to scroll through the user interface menu,
and then select, or change, the relevant parameters.
A password is required to allow access to the menu system. This password is ‘1111’, and
cannot be changed
. A Second Level password is required to allow amendment of
operating parameters. This password may be changed at any time from the Exicom
default value of ‘1234’. Refer to Section 3.4.1 for details.
