3.7 PLCHMR System Maintenance and Configuration Menus
3.7.1 PLCHMR System Maintenance & Configuration Menus Overview
The PLCHMR system must be configured as part of the on-site installation. The
PLCHMR’s maintenance menus are used to view and modify the site specific
configuration data. The maintenance menus use a text window interface along with a
command entry prompt. The command entry prompt is posted at the bottom of terminal
window and is marked with “maint>”. Configuration data in the maintenance menus
contains information about the site’s lights, its reporting mechanism, and the facility
information. The site’s light configuration data contains information on how many lights,
which tiers the lights are located, and height above ground level. The reporting
configuration will specify if the reports are to be made via Ethernet or relays. The facility
information will include: the owner, contact number, address, FCC number, Altitude,
Longitude, and Latitude.
The maintenance menu system has a hierarchical structure which begins with the
Health Monitoring System (HMS) home maintenance menu (see Figure 3.7-2). The
home maintenance menu is the initial menu presented after the maintenance login is
completed. The home maintenance menu can be recognized by the “HMS
Maintenance Menu” title along with its four numbered menu items (See Figure 3.7-3).
