Date
Specifies the current system date.
This parameter is shown in the following format:
month/day/year
Each of these fields is selected and modified separately. When the parameter is highlighted, type
the desired numeric entry and then press the <Tab> key to move from month to day to year. The
backslashes are automatically added by the system. When daylight savings occurs, the system date
is not automatically changed.
Default: 9/2/1999
Boot
This option is used to define how the system treats drive A: when booting. Booting can occur
from A drive or directly from the C drive (Flash drive). To reduce the amount of time required to
boot, the boot sequence should be set to “C: only”.
Values: A: then C: Boot from the A drive, or if no media
is present in the A drive, boot from
the C drive.
C: Boot from the C drive without
searching for an A drive.
Default: A: then C:
Note: The A: drive is read only when an SRAM card is inserted. The MX1 does not recognize a
radio card as an SRAM card. When there is no SRAM card installed, drive A: is ignored.
Setup Msg
Use this option to allow or disallow the display of the message “Press F2 to enter Setup” upon
initial bootup or reboot. When the parameter is set to Off, the message is not displayed to the user
although the F2 key can still be pressed at the appropriate time to enter the Setup Menu.
Values: On, Off
Default: Off
