ReLoading

The DXP you do not need to load the system software to make the system operational. Should you need to later reload the system software (for software up-grade purposes for example), you can do so using the supplied system software disk. Use Windows File Manager or MS-DOS commands to save the disk’s information from your computer’s floppy drive to its hard drive. Having the software on your computer’s hard drive allows the data to load into the DXP from the computer’s floppy disk drive.

Reviewing General

Programming Considerations

Since the programming procedure is menu driven, you should consider all of the following points.

The menu presents a list of selections for your consideration. Each selection differs in content and requires a different response.

When you respond to each selection, it either causes the system to present a further breakdown of

selections or causes a particular programming action to take place.

Menu lines prompt you for the required response and, where appropriate, will repeat prompts to

allow programming of more than one device without you having to make another menu selection.

All of the menus operate in a similar manner. They differ in only the required response that you

must make.

Some menus contain more than one page. On these menus, you can press and hold the CONTROL

key while you type the

key to display the next page (or type P to display the previous page).

Each prompt requires a response followed by a Carriage Return (RETURN). A more common label for this control on most PC keyboards is

Most menu responses usually consists of a one-, two-, or three-digit number or a string of numbers

ENTER.

(or alpha-numeric characters when programming names and messages). Successive entries are separated by a space or a comma (n n n or n,nn,nnn) while blocks of numbers are indicated by

hyphen (n-nnn).

Should programmers introduce a numbering conflict while renumbering a feature dialing code, the system will prompt them to remove the conflict. They may have to renumber several features to

completely clear any conflicting numbers.

Understanding Keyboard And

Terminal Definrtions

3.1

The following list describes the functional keys on the keyboard.

l Number keys:

l Alphabetic keys:

l ESCAPE key:

Punctuation and Symbol keys:

RETURN or ENTER key:

Reviewing The Keyboard Definitions

Use keys O-9 for selecting menu items, lines of data to edit, or for editing numeric prompts.

Use keys A-Z and a-z for entering string information such as names and messages. Always begin names of stations, lines, and so forth with a letter or a space.

This key will return you to the previous command prompt and cancel whatever input was in progress. This action may or may not cause the previous screen to be redrawn depending on the current mode. When you enter a change at most of the programming menus, you must press the ESCAPE key and type

a y followed by the ENTER key to save the change.

Except for comma (which is a field delimiter), use the punctuation and symbols on the keyboard just as you use the

alphabetic keys. Use this key to terminate the response to a command prompt or

to end the editing of a data field.The system ignores a RETURN without any preceding input except when you are editing database information. During this operation, the RETURN key moves the cursor to the next vertical editing position

l SPACE BAR:

l Tab Key:

l Question mark (?):

The space bar steps through the choices for program selections that provide multiple choices.

The following list describes the control key functions. Unless otherwise noted, control keys are valid input at any time during programming.

Control C (C for Cancel):

This key will cancel the current mode or function and return you to the last command prompt.

Control E (E for Edit or Erase):

Use this key to edit a selected field or entry. On “smart” terminals, most fields will be automatically cleared when the first character is entered. Some fields allow the you to add to the current entry.

On these types of fields, Control E

also

use this key to erase a field that has blanks for

valid input such as an autodial number.

Control I (I for Increment):

Use this key during table editing to position the cursor to the next horizontal editing position.

Control N (N for Next):

Use this key to switch to the next page of data for those database items that fill more that one screen. There will always be an on screen note when this key is valid.

Control P (P for Previous):

This key is identical to the Control N key except that it displays the previous page of information.

l Control R (R for Redraw):

When you press this key the system will redraw the current screen display. Usually, you use this key when the terminal display is configured in brief mode.
