LCD Console

The Energy Monitoring Hub has an LCD console and two push buttons labeled "menu" and "select". These can be used to
configure some of the basic features of the Energy Monitoring Hub. The intended purpose of the console is to configure the
Energy Monitoring Hub to a point where a computer can communicate with it for further detailed configuration.
When the Energy Monitoring Hub is running, it will show "AcquiSuite Ready" and the current time alternated with the
Ethernet IP address. If you choose to enable the console display of data points, the LCD will also show the selected point
names and current reading values. The display will change to the next listed item about once every 10 seconds. If a data
point name is longer than will fit on the 16 character wide display, it will be scrolled. Pressing the select button will cause
the display to change to the next configured item. Pressing the select button quickly will skip through multiple display
points.
Pressing the Menu button will cause the main menu to appear. Once [Main Menu] is shown on the console, the menu button
will change the menu option, and the select button will take action on the currently displayed option. Some options provide
sub menus; others allow you to edit the option value. The following is a tree display of the main menu and sub menus.

The TCP/IP sub menu will allow you to configure the Ethernet settings for the Energy Monitoring Hub. To edit the IP
settings, use the menu button to change options, and press the select button to edit the option. Once selected, you will see
the current value displayed and a blinking square cursor on the first character. Press the menu button to change the
character or digit. Press the select button to use the digit and move the cursor to the right one space. If you press the select
button multiple times, the cursor will move right a similar number of spaces, allowing you to skip over characters that may
be correct based on the previous settings. When you are finished entering the IP address, select a blank space with the menu
button, and press select. Any characters still remaining to the right of the cursor will be eliminated. (ie, if changing
128.193.100.200 to 10.0.0.1, the new IP address will be several digits shorter than the old one.
Network Status: This option will test the Ethernet connection by attempting to ping the following addresses: localhost,
Ethernet IP address, gateway, dns1, dns2. The localhost ping will verify the kernel IP stack is properly initialized. The
Ethernet ping will verify the Ethernet card's IP address is set and communicating with the kernel. The Ethernet ping test
does not send any packets over the Ethernet cable however. The gateway ping test will verify that the gateway address
responds to queries. This test is the first one that actually sends packets over the Ethernet wire. The gateway test does not
verify the IP address of the gateway is correct, or that the gateway is working correctly, it only tests that the address
specified as a gateway responds to a ping request. The DNS1 and DNS2 ping tests verify the IP addresses listed for DNS
servers respond to ping requests. This test does not verify if the DNS servers can actually resolve DNS names to IP
addresses.
For a more complete test, use the connection test web page in the Energy Monitoring Hub diagnostics menu.
Modbus Status: This option will report the number of devices currently detected by the Energy Monitoring Hub. The
