Note:
After changing any parameter the module will write the changes to the
Flash memory automatically after 10 seconds
•
To avoid any unwanted changes of settings all controls of the selected card can
be locked. All control elements of this card will be greyed out then.
•
If at any time it is necessary to return the
module to the factory default settings this
can be done using the “
Restore Factory
Default
” function. You will be prompted if
you are sure, as this will erase any stored
information from the module flash ram and
set it back to the factory settings.
Note: The IP address and the Admin
password of the RCT 5023-G will not be
affected. These two parameters can only
be reset by pressing the reset button at the card
front edge for more than 5 seconds
•
Simulation
is only active when the simulation mode of APPolo Control GUI is
selected
. This can be done in the Tab “Local Serial Connectors” in the Connection
Manager or in the Tab “View” on top of the APPolo Control GUI.
Module Title Area
This is the main title area where the description of the module can be found as well as
details on its physical location in the system (Rack number and Rack Slot)
This area also displays the status of the module and describes any reported event next to
the colored dot (which is also a mirror of the module LED)
Locate Function
For larger systems which may have multiple cards of the same type in a single rack, or
multiple racks in a larger system we have added a useful utility which will help to
physically locate a suspect module in a rack quickly.
When Locate is selected the status indicator on the GUI and the alarm LED will flash
yellow in the following continuous sequence.
3 short flashes…. Pause…. 3 short flashes …
The LED continues to flash in this way until the function is turned off in the GUI.
Use of the locate function will not interfere with the normal operation of the module.
