Section III
SETUP AND OPERATION
Instructions in this section cover AARON 650 setup using the
front-panel graphic display screen and jog wheel. Anything
that can be done from the front panel can also be accomplished
using the Web interface, which closely follows the front-panel
menus and readouts. Networking the AARON 650 is covered in
Section IV, and remote operation in Section V. We recommend
starting with front-panel setup, however, as this method not
only gives the immediate gratification of a hands-on experience,
but is necessary for initiating network connectivity in the first
place.
“QUICK START” TECHNOLOGY”
‘Instant Boot’
‘Boot’ (startup) time of AARON 650 is less than one second.
When AC power is first applied, or after any momentary power
interruption, the unit is back in full operation almost immedi-
ately. Setup and reception parameters in use previous to the
power interruption are reloaded instantly from non-volatile
memory to the receiver’s processing core.
Brownout
Detection
Although the AARON 650 power supply and digital logic cir-
cuits will operate at AC mains voltages down to about 50% of
nominal, the graphic display and LED readouts would fail to
give consistent indications at very low mains voltages. A
‘brownout’ detector reboots the unit at a mains voltage some-
what below the “low line” value given in the product specifica-
tion.
NAVIGATING THE MENUS
Setup and operating adjustments of the AARON 650 are under
firmware control. There are no jumpers, switches or mechani-
cal potentiometers, only the front-panel jog wheel
