Once the terminal emulation software starts, press Enter on the keyboard and the Main Menu 

should appear. If the Main Menu does not appear, check the communication settings and 

make sure the unit is powered on.

When the unit is powered up, diagnostic tests are performed and the Flash Program code is 

verified. The main system code is executed after a 10 second delay. During the boot up 

sequence, the System Status LED will flash at a rapid rate of 10 flashes per second. If the 

System Status LED continues to flash for more then twenty seconds, there is a fault with the 

unit and service is required.

After the bootup sequence, the main program executes from Flash memory. In order to run 

properly, the unit must have a unique MAC address (assigned by the manufacturer) and an IP 

address. The factory default for the IP address is 10.0.0.186. If the unit is connected to the 

enterprise’s network, an IP address must be obtained from the network administrator. The 

F3400/F1000 must be reconfigured with this new IP address. This reconfiguration can be done 

in the field. See the Configuration Menu, menu number 1. Once the system reaches this point, 

press Enter to display the System Main Menu.
