Configuration

Status Web Page

The Status web page (

) shows the input signal status of the audio

input and the Reference Signal input. Color coding of the display indicated
the signal status. Audio input status monitoring can be disabled on the
User Settings webpage (

). If set to disabled, the Input Signal (s)

arrow will be gre yed out. Refer to

Status Monitoring on page 32

explanation of the color coding.

Information about the module, such as part number, serial number, hard-
ware revision and software and firmware versions are given in a read-only
section at the bottom of the display.
