Frame Control Panel Operation and IP Network Setup
Using the Densité Frame Control Panel
Using the Densité Frame Control Panel
All of the cards installed in a Densité frame are connected to the frame’s controller card,
which handles all interaction between the cards and the outside world. There are no
operating controls located on the cards themselves. The controller supports remote
operation via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using its integrated control panel.
The local control panel is fastened to the controller card, and consists of a display unit
capable of displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five buttons.
Densité CPU-ETH2 local control panel
The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pressing the Select button
on the
front edge of that card.
The Status LED on the selected card will then be flashing orange.
Press the CONTROLLER button on the control panel to select the controller card itself.
Navigating the Local Control Panel Menu
The Kaleido-MX has operating parameters which may be adjusted locally at the controller
card interface. Press the Select button
on the front edge of a Kaleido-MX input or output card
(see
, on page 29.) to assign the local control panel to operate the card. The
local control panel displays a menu that can be navigated using the four buttons located
next to the display. The functionality of the buttons is as follows:
If no controls are operated for 30 seconds, the controller reverts to its normal standby
status, and the selected card’s Status LED reverts to its normal operating mode. If a
parameter was changed on the card but not submitted (SEL was not pressed) and the
30 second timeout occurs, the parameters will be confirmed as if the SEL button had been
pressed.
[+] and [-] Used for menu navigation and value modification.
SEL
Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value is shown, pressing this
button once enables modification of the value using the [+] and [-] buttons;
pressing a second time confirms the new value.
ESC
Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been confirmed;
pressing ESC causes the parameter to revert to its former value.
Pressing ESC moves the user back up to the previous menu level. At the main menu,
ESC does not exit the menu system. To exit, press the Select button on the front
edge of the card being controlled.
