Echo 2 Mbps Multiplexer

Cursor Movement

The cursor symbol ">" is moved around the screen to the required field using the arrow
keys.

Parameter changing

If it is possible to modify the field over which the cursor is placed, the message "Use
<SPACEBAR>, <+>, <->" is shown at the bottom of the screen. No message will appear if
the field is calculated, un-modifiable or hardware set.
Pressing the Space bar, the "+" key or the "-" key will cycle through the choices available for
a parameter.

Accepting all changes and Updating the configuration

If "Control" and "U" are pressed at the same time after the configuration has been suitably
adjusted, the configuration is updated at the local and remote end as necessary and held in
Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM.)

Abandoning Changes

Pressing ESC at any point before a configuration is updated will cause the message Abandon
Changes? (y/n) to appear at the bottom of the screen. If n is selected the message will
disappear and editing may continue. If y is pressed, all modifications will be abandoned and
last updated configuration will be re-painted to the screen.

Local or Remote Configuration.

Most settings are independent at each end of the multiplexer link e.g. Clock Reference.
The "Configure" parameter in the upper left of the selected screen shows whether the
LOCAL or REMOTE multiplexer is being configured.

Changing the configuration page

The Configuration Page required, e.g. 'Channels', or 'Events' etc., is selected by moving the
cursor to the upper right area and pressing Enter when alongside the required page.
