232 MONITOR PLUS
2.1 Introduction
Turn on the 232 Monitor Plus and
you are in View Mode. Here's what
you can do in this mode:
• Wait for transmitted data to
appear.
• Turn off the unit (Press
SHUTDOWN, then STOP).
• Press HELP to get more
information (see the section on
HELP in this chapter or press
the HELP key to find out more
about this option).
• Execute any commands (e.g.,
Autoconfigure TD, Status).
• Switch to the Configure Menu
mode to set communications
parameters.
This chapter explains commands.
Chapter 2 covers the Configure
Menu. Chapter 3 describes how to
operate the Monitor from a remote
terminal.
The 232 Monitor Plus has over 35
command keys. Command keys use
white text to identify their respective
command functions. Press HELP
while in the View Mode to see all of
the command keys listed. They are
also listed alphabetically, starting on
page 6.

2.2 Setting Options and Values
Several command keys, when
pressed, open their respective sub-
menus; each submenu offers options
followed by values. Setting the
values and scrolling through options
is done primarily by using the arrow
keys, and the PAGE UP, PAGE
DOWN, HOME, END, and RETURN
keys. Refer to Figure 2.
When you are in an options menu a
selected option value is depicted in
reverse video (it is "highlighted").
To increment the value of that
option, press RETURN or →. To
highlight a different option's value,
use the keys shown in Figure 2.
2.3 Entering Integers or Hex Values
Some values call for an integer or a
hex value. Here are some hints for
entering values directly from the
keyboard:
Directly
• Enter 923, for example, by
pressing the keys 9-2-3.
• Or you can increase the value
one integer at a time by pressing
RETURN. For example, if 919 is
on the screen, press RETURN
four times to increase the value
to 923.
