Modem parameters If modems are used for remote control, it is necessary to program certain parameters in the ATL needed to control the modem connected to the ATL itself. Due to their particular structure, these parameters are not available on the keyboard-display of the device, and may therefore only be set through a PC and remote control software. -
Page 13: View Menu
View menu Front panel Using the programming software, you can also display a ‘virtual’ representation of the front panel of the ATL on the monitor of the PC; this is useful, for example, if you want to demonstrate functioning by projecting the image of the monitor of the PC. - Page 14 Event log The event log window shows what happened to the system in the past, keeping trace of the last 40 events each of them with date and time reference. Events history is stored in non-volatile memory, so it is kept even without power supply.
