Front control >> General settings
The general settings screen can be accessed by pressing the rotary dial when viewing the
main screen. The general settings menu allows to configure all the global settings for the
XMP44 unit, keeping aside the settings and functionalities of the installed modules. The
functionalities of the general settings menu are described as follows:
Lock:
When selecting ‘Lock’, the system will be locked and will require a password to be entered
before any further action can be taken (if the password is enabled).
Info:
Info will give an overview of the XMP44 device, the software version it (XMP44) is running,
the types of installed modules and the software versions the modules are running.
LCD Settings:
Adjustments for the LCD settings can be made here. The brightness can be adjusted within a
range of 10% to 100% (standard is 80%). Adjusting of the LCD brightness can be convenient
when the device is placed in an environment with very low or very high ambient light. Hereby
the clarity of the LCD can be adjusted being clear but unobtrusive.
The backlight off time can be adjusted within an interval of 10 up to 120 minutes or never
(always on), making the backlight of the LCD automatically turn off after the set time.
Password:
Password protection can be enabled, avoiding unauthorized users to make any adjustment
to the system. The password is a four-digit code. In default, the password is set to ‘0000’
which gives full access to the system without requiring any password to be entered. If the
configured password is different from ‘0000’, the user will be requested to enter the password
before any access to the systems functions is provided.
The configuration of the selected password can be made by selecting it in the general settings
menu. The currently set password will be shown and the adjusting digit can be selected (turns
red) and confirmed by turning and pressing the rotary selection dial. Consecutive digits will
increase when the maximum value has been reached.
After the desired password has been selected it can be confirmed by pressing (turns red) and
turning the function dial clockwise to the entire right side where the ‘OK’ word will appear.
After pressing again the password is confirmed.
USB:
The USB function allows to switch the upper USB (indicated as ‘UPDATE’) between Module
1 and main XMP44 functionality. In standard the configuration, it is connected to ‘Module
1’, allowing functionality for USB supporting modules such as media players. In case any
general system functionalities are required such as system updates, this USB slot should
be connected to the XMP44. Toggling between Module 1 and main XMP44 functionality is
done by pressing the rotary dial.
Time server:
When any module is installed which supports timed events (eg voice file player for
announcements at pre-programmed moments), the XMP44 shall get time synchronization
from a time server. In default configuration, an internet timeserver is being used which always
guarantees an accurate synchronization of the system according to GMT. Depending of the
time zone and/or location, the GMT offset settings have to be made accordingly.
