Selecting Attributes

TM 5-6350-275-10

position the cursor on any line or area of the display which contains reference to the zone or one of its points. Then

press [GO] to create the display.

(4) The [PORTAL] key creates a summary display which contains details relating to the current state of one or

more portals. The options available through this key display details of portals that have certain attributes (such as alarm

inhibited, control inhibited, etc.); those that are under the jurisdiction of a particular station or stations; those that are

referenced by a particular prefix, numeric, and/or suffix; those that are within a particular zone; and finally, those that

come under a particular data category.

Select the key and press [NEXT]. The system reveals a further set of soft-keys, letting you choose portals with particular

attributes. These keys are described below in Selecting Attributes.

c. Selecting Attributes. Select the [PORTAL] or [STN] key or a point class. Another set of soft-key options

appears. Choose from these by responding to the prompt Select search condition and press [NEXT]. The additional soft-

keys offered are:

[FAILED]

[DISABL]

[ALMIN]

[CNTIN]

[ACNTIN]

[ALARM]

[AND]

[NOT]

These keys refine your summary display to one that shows only RADCs, points, or portals whose attributes are in a

particular condition. For example, you can choose to display only RADCs that are currently disabled or only those that

are both control inhibited and alarm-inihibited. if you want to select all RADCs, points, or portals, you can ignore the

menu and press [NEXT] to proceed to the Group(s) prompt.

(1) The [FAILED] key selects RADCs/points/portals which are in a telemetry failed state; the [DISABL] key

those that are disabled; [ALMIN], those that are inhibited from generating alarms; [CNTIN], those that are inhibited from

undertaking any form of control operation; and [ACNTIN], those that are inhibited from auto-control operations. In

addition to these, [ALARM] selects points that are in an alarm condition.

(2) When you select a key, its associated function is displayed on the prompt line, the [AND] key being

indicated by the ampersand (&) symbol. Once selected, a function can be removed only by using the [CANCEL] key to

delete the entry displayed on the command line. It may be necessary for other functions to be removed in order to

achieve this. Therefore, they must be re-entered.

d. Selecting RADCs and Equipment. Group(s) is the first in a series of up to eight prompts which allow you to

enter details of the RADCs, zones, and equipment whose data is to be displayed. The remaining seven are:
