8.6. CONFIGURATION MENU.
The SMOR has a configuration menu which can only be accessed by means of the keyboard. The aim is to
select the way in which the SMOR interacts with the exterior.
To enter the configuration menu, start from the stand-by screen and use the keyboard to enter a four figure
code. If the code is correct, entry to the configuration unit is permitted. If not it returns to the stand-by screen.
The code is unique for all the SMOR relays and is not intended to be a password, but rather a simple safety
measure to avoid accidental changes to the configuration. This code is 7169, chosen to coincide with the
ASCII code for the initials GE. This is how to enter the configuration unit from the stand-by screen:

The value and meaning of the settings are explained below. Note that movement between the options in this
group is with the right/left arrow keys.
•
NET. BAUDRATE : The speed in bauds which the SMOR will use for serial communications through the
remote port. The possible speeds are between 1200 and 19200 bauds.
•
NET.STOP BITS : The number of stop bits which are added to each byte which is transmitted on the
serial line. It is treated as a binary logic setting selected by means of the logic key 1/Y for 1 and 3/N for
2.
•
LOC. BAUDRATE : as above but for local communications.
•
LOC. STOP BITS : As above but for local communications.
•
LOCAL SETTINGS : Settings changes by local communications (allowed/not allowed).
•
REM SETTINGS : Settings changes by remote communications (allowed/not allowed).
•
LOC OPERATIONS : Operations being performed by local communications (computer directly
connected) (allowed/not allowed).
•
REM OPERATIONS : Operations being performed by remote communications (e.g. modem)
(allowed/not allowed).
•
UNIT NUMBER : Each SMOR is identified by a unit number which it uses to identify the messages which
are sent to it on the remote communications line. This number can be between 1 and 255.
•
PASSWORD : To prevent unauthorized persons from communicating with the relay via a
communications program and changing the settings or performing operations, the relay has a password.
This password can only be seen on the relay display and takes the form of a number between 0 and
99999.
•
t TIME-OUT : Set to 0 if the relay is not working in a DDS integrated system. Set to the maximum time
between two synch signals coming from the PC host, when the relay is working in a DDS integrated
system. If a new synch signal is not received in this time the relay will report an error.
