Context-Sensitive Help
When the mouse-pointer is positioned over a specific field label in the VistaNET
Unit View, the text-box located at the bottom of the view will provide general
information on the field. Also, for some fields, when the mouse-pointer is
positioned over the field itself, more info is provided on that specific
reading/selection. This is a useful tool for explaining the capabilities and options
of both programmable fields and read-only fields of the unit.
Note
: When the legacy JCI software is used, the help screen can be invoked by
selecting “F1” key.
Alignment
The 86445-31 2W FXS unit must be correctly configured as per the Node
Assignment Drawing. All software adjustable fields are detailed in the
Configuration section of this manual. The user must ensure that all external
connections to the paddleboard are correct.
Bantam Jack
The front-panel bantam jack provides access to the 2W VF signal. Through the
software, it can be configured for splitting or bridging. The bridging access can
be used for monitoring the analog VF signal present at the paddleboard
connections. The splitting access disconnects the paddleboard connections so
that the bantam jack signal can be used for testing purposes.
Signaling Tests
Unit's built-in signaling test features allow for sending a specific, user-selectable
signaling condition to the far-end unit and/or to the local drop equipment. Refer
to
Transmit Signalling
and
Receive Signalling
fields in the
Configuration
section
for more information.
