Station Setup/Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings menu contains settings that aren’t typically needed, but are available
nevertheless to change the behaviour of the system. A typical Advanced Settings menu is
provided below:
FixedInternalPorts Yes
Display timeout (s) 300
Flash Duration (s) 2.0
Terminal Text Color White
Terminal Bkgnd Color Blue
End Advanced Settings
FixedInternalPorts
When FixedInternalPorts is set to “Yes”, then COM2 and COM3 (the “internal” ports), always
have the same type of communications device specified in the Station Setup/Communications
menu. This means that clearing the setup keeps the current setting for the port (e.g., IRIDIUM,
GPRS, etc.), rather than clearing it (i.e., setting it to NO CONNECT). Note, however, the settings
for the device installed on the port do revert to defaults.
The default setting for FixedInternalPorts is “Yes”. Setting it to “No” can be useful when you
typcially use the same 8310 to setup different configurations for other 8310s, yet to be
deployed.
Display Timeout (s)
Specifies the number of seconds the display will wait for input, before turning off.
Flash Duration (s)
Specifies the number of seconds flashed messages will display before reverting to the previous
text. If you find it difficult to read the occasional flashed message due to it not being displayed
long enough, you can increase the time of the flash here.
Terminal Text Color
Select the color of the text displayed in the terminal interface.
Terminal Bkgnd Color
Select the color of the background displayed in the terminal interface.
Terminal Operations
The Terminal Operations menu is only available on a PC/terminal – it is not available from the
