CONFIGURATIONS
System Configuration
The configurations of the OSMAC Base Station can easily be modified to suit the user's requirements. The system con-
figuration mode can be accessed by holding the "1" key during power up. It can also be accessed by simultaneously
pressing the "CTRL" and "MENU" key from an external keyboard such as the central computer. The base station will
respond with the password prompt. The password for the Configuration Mode is 1590. The system configuration menu is
shown on page 4 as a guide to locate the parameters to be configured.
Use the arrow keys to cycle through the configuration menu. To select from the menu, enter the number designated to
that option. To change any of the parameters, simply scroll or enter the number designated to the desired option. In the
case where numerical value needs to be entered, use the keypad to enter digits. Press "F1" to confirm and accept the
selection. Press the "–" key to exit from the sub-menus and return to the upper level menus. To exit the configuration
mode, press the "–" key until the "Pager No=" prompt is shown. New configuration(s) and/or value(s) are not permanent-
ly stored until the Configuration Mode is properly exited using the "–" key. If the unit is turned off, or power is lost before
the "–" key is entered, changes to the configuration will not be saved.
