3-2 MENU OPERATION
The ARIES NETLink has a built-in menu structure. This menu structure has been implemented to
aid users with system operating functions.
An operator can use menu operation to:
• Isolate initiating devices and/or outputs
• List configuration settings and the application program
• Adjust configuration settings
• Initiate manual testing procedures
An operator cannot use menu operation if:
• He is attempting to access the main menu via an Remote Display Control Module while another
operator already has access to the system. All other remote user interfaces will be locked out for
30 seconds. The yellow LED will blink when a device is in lock-out mode. The User Interface will
always overrule the lock-out mode and take control, putting all other RDCMs and LAMs in lock-
out.
• Another operator already has access to the system through the configuration software’s terminal-
emulation mode (Refer to the ARIES NETLink Configuration Tool User’s Guide, P/N 06-237059-
001, for information on terminal-emulation mode.)
Any of the following events cancel menu operation:
• An alarm signal
• An operator presses the <Backspace> Key at the main menu.
• A period of 60 seconds elapses from the last pressed key.
3-3 OVERVIEW OF MAIN MENU FUNCTIONS
The ARIES NETLink continuously monitors all initiating devices and outputs for any state change
while in menu operation.
The Main Menu functions are shown in Figure 3-9. Most functions will require additional data to be
entered to implement the function, such as a device address or desired alarm threshold.
Figure 3-8. Main Menu Functions
Table 3-1 provides a brief description of typical functions that can be performed using the ARIES
NETLink system’s menus. The following sections describe the menu structure, how to access the
menu, menu functions, and how to exit the menu.
