There are two ways to access the AC8: the LCD on the front of the enclosure and the Service Terminal
Interface, which is accessible through any computer using a communications program. Many viewing
and configuration tasks can be performed through either interface, but some are available only
through the Service Terminal Interface.
• Step-by-step instructions for all functions appear in Sections 5.0 through 7.0. These instructions
use examples of LCD screens to illustrate most functions, except those not available via the LCD.
• Examples of all Service Terminal Interface screens appear in Appendix A - Service Terminal
Interface, along with instructions on how to connect to the Service Terminal Interface.
Table 6 lists all AC8 functions and shows whether they can be performed through the LCD interface
and where to find information.
