A display of unit details, serial number, hardware and software versions etc. This
information may be requested by a BW Broadcast support technician if you need live
assistance. The OLED ‘sleep’ timeout is also set here.
RESTART AND FACTORY RESET
There is also a ‘restart’ and a ‘reset to defaults’ command in this menu. Beware – ‘reset
to defaults’ will remove any settings you have modified in Presets, and everything you
have entered in System.
…which includes the Ethernet settings – so this isn’t a good thing to do if you’re
connected remotely, as you may lose IP connectivity.
STATUS

PSU voltage; PSU current; PSU power; fan voltage; fan state; temperature; plus fan speed
control – which should be left set to ‘auto’ unless otherwise advised by a BW Broadcast
