Actions options

During normal operations, action menu options are available on the front panel display of the node. Use the front panel actions only when directed to do so by a service procedure. Inappropriate use can lead to loss of access to data or loss of data.

Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 show the sequence of the actions options. In the figures, bold lines indicate that the select button was pressed. The lighter lines indicate the navigational path (up or down and left or right). The circled X indicates that if the select button is pressed, an action occurs that uses the data that is entered.

Only one action menu option at a time is displayed on the front-panel display.

Note: Options display in the menu if they are valid for the current state of the node. See Table 1 for a list of when the options are valid.

The following options are available from the Actions menu:

To perform an action, navigate to the Actions option and press the select button. The action is initiated. Available parameters for the action are displayed. Use the left or right buttons to move between the parameters. The current setting is displayed on the second display line.

To set or change a parameter value, press the select button when the parameter is displayed. The value changes to edit mode. Use the left or right buttons to move between subfields, and use the up or down buttons to change the value of a subfield. When the value is correct, press select to leave edit mode.

Each action also has a Confirm? and a Cancel? panel. Pressing select on the Confirm? panel initiates the action by using the current parameter value setting. Pressing select on the Cancel? panel returns to the Action option panel without changing the node.

If you see a right angle bracket, press the right button to scroll through the display. When there is no more text to display, you can move to the next item in the menu by pressing the right button.

Similarly, you might see a left angle bracket (<) on the left side of the display screen. If you see a left angle bracket, press the left button to scroll through the display. When there is no more text to display, you can move to the previous item in the menu by pressing the left button.
