PollCat NetLink II - User’s Guide

5.3. Set System Parameters

The System Parameters menu (Figure 5.2) is used to set common

parameters, such as command mode passwords and the Site ID Message.

To access the System Parameters menu, go to the Main Menu, type

23 and

press [Enter]. The following items can be conﬁgured via this menu:

1. User Directory: Creates, modiﬁes, reviews and deletes User Accounts

as described in Section 5.3.1. The User Directory also allows you to

set the security level for each account, in order to determine whether

the user will be allowed to change conﬁguration parameters.

2. Site ID Message: Deﬁnes a text string (up to 32 characters) that can

be used to note the unit’s location. When deﬁned, the Site ID will be

displayed prior to the Login prompt. (Default = undeﬁned).

Note: If the Site I.D. begins with an underscore (_), the message

will be displayed after the "PollCat-NetLink" message during login.

If the Site ID message does not begin with an underscore, then the

message will be displayed before the "PollCat-NetLink" message.

3. Real-Time Clock: Sets the internal clock and calendar as described in

Section 5.3.2.

4. Wrap-Around: Allows new data to be written over older data when

internal memory becomes full. The Wrap-Around option applies to

both alarm data and non-alarm data. New data will not overwrite

older data in the current partition while command mode is active;

instead, new data will be stored outside the top boundary. If memory

is completely full, no additional data will be stored while data is being

read from the unit. (Default = On).

Note: When Wrap-Around is enabled and memory becomes full,

there will be a delay while the unit clears old data and writes new

data to memory. During this period, NetLink II will delay response

to additional commands. Newly received data will not be lost

during this delay.

SYSTEM PARAMETERS:

1. User Directory

2. Site ID Msg: (undeﬁned)

3. Real-Time-Clock: 06/16/2005 Thu 16:00:25

4. Wrap-Around: Off
