Making Simple Settings Changes
Settings in QuickSet
You can use QuickSet to develop settings for the relay offline. QuickSet automat-
ically checks interrelated settings and alerts you to out-of-range settings. Upload
the offline QuickSet settings to the relay via the communications ports. See
Checking Relay Status in QuickSet on page 3.12 for an introductory tutorial on
using QuickSet.
You can also use QuickSet as a terminal program to interact in real time with the
relay. For an introduction to QuickSet and all of features of this software, see
Section 2: PC Software.
Making Initial Global Settings in QuickSet
QuickSet makes setting the relay an easy task. The purpose of the procedure in
the following steps is to familiarize you with reading, modifying, and sending
settings with QuickSet.
This example assumes that you have successfully established communication
with the relay (see Making an EIA-232 Serial Port Connection on page 3.4). In
addition, you must be familiar with relay access levels and passwords (see
Changing the Default Passwords in the Terminal on page 3.10 to change the
default access level passwords). You should also be familiar with QuickSet; see
Section 2: PC Software and Checking Relay Status in QuickSet on page 3.12.
Step 1. Start QuickSet and establish a connection with the relay. See Step 1
and Step 2 of Checking Relay Status in QuickSet on page 3.12 for
detailed steps.
Step 2. In the File menu, click Read to read the present configuration in the
relay.
The relay sends all configuration and settings data to QuickSet.
Step 3. Select Global settings.
a. Click the arrow next to the Global branch of the left-hand Quick-
Set tree structure shown in Figure 3.21.
b. Click General Global Settings.
You will see the Global Settings window (see Figure 3.21).
Step 7. Type END <Enter> to end the settings process.
The relay next scrolls a readback of all the Front-Panel settings,
eventually displaying the
Save settings (Y,N) ? prompt. (In
Figure 3.20, a vertical ellipsis represents this scrolling
readback.)
At the end of the readback information, just before the
Save
settings (Y,N) ?
prompt, you can verify the new display point
information.
Step 8. Answer Y <Enter> to save your new settings.
