INITIAL CONFIGURATION
To streamline the initial installation procedure, AdderLink XDIP nodes use a
configuration wizard to guide you through the necessary stages. For the simplest
installations, this may be all that is necessary to completely tailor the nodes to your
requirements. However, for more complicated installations you may also need to access
the main Admin menu (see page 20) once the initial configuration is complete.
AdderLink XDIP configuration is primarily driven via the receiver(s). During the
initial configuration and subsequent post-installation alterations, a transmitter can be
configured via a receiver, but not vice versa. Also, one receiver cannot configure another
receiver. Where two or more receiver nodes will be required, run the wizard from the
first receiver node and, once complete (including all transmitter nodes), move to the
console of the next required receiver node and run the configuration wizard again from
there. Transmitters configured in the first run can be associated with multiple receivers,
as required.
Navigating the configuration wizard, OSD and Admin menu
The AdderLink XDIP user interface has been carefully designed to be easily navigated
by either mouse, keyboard or a combination of both.
When using the mouse, you merely need to point and click on screen items. As the
mouse hovers over a screen item, if it is clickable it will become highlighted.
When using the keyboard to navigate, use the following keys:
•
Tab key
- To move forward between sections.
•
Shift + Tab keys
- To move backward between sections.
•
Arrow keys
- To change between the options within a section.
•
Enter key
- To select the highlighted option.
•
Esc key
- To exit the current page.
On a receiver node, to display the OSD:
•
Press CTRL + ALT + C *
Once the OSD is displayed, to enter the Admin menu:
•
Select the icon in the top right corner of the page.
See page 30 for more details about keyboard navigation during operation.
* Note: The standard hotkey combinations can be changed. See page 21.
