7.3 CREATING THE DATABASE
Once all the database parameters have been defined, begin entering data into the Alto 818.
7.3.1 ENTERING THE COMMAND MODE
With a terminal connected to the Alto 818, type the user 1 password NEW and press ENTER.
If the USER command has already be used to modify the database, the password for a user with
rank A must be entered. When a valid password has been entered the screen will display:
HELLO USER 1
TYPE HELP FOR A LIST OF COMMANDS
Begin entering database information in the command sequence recommended in section 7.3.3.
Due to tests which may be performed on the Alto 818 controller prior to installation at a site, it is
recommended that memory be erased prior to beginning database set up. The test diagnostic
TEST2 will erase all database memory.
CAUTION:
Use of the TEST2 command will erase all database memory and return all parameters
to the system default values.
7.3.2 EXITING THE COMMAND MODE
Use the command BYE to exit from the command mode. If there is no keyboard activity on the
terminal for 4 minutes, the Alto 818 will automatically log out the user and revert to operate mode.
