Advanced Operations 5-2 MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
5.2.1 MTX5000
The procedures described in this chapter assume you already
know how to operate your MTX5000. If this is not the case,
please review the information presented in the following
Chapters of this manual:
“Introduction” Chapter on page 1-1
“Product Description” Chapter on page 2-1
“Routine Operation” Chapter on page 3-1
5.2.2 Software
This chapter assumes the MTX5000 software is operating
properly on your MTX5000 and that you are familiar with the
MTX5000 color LCD display panel screens, touch panel, and
function keys. You must also be familiar with both Local and
Remote operations.
5.2.3 Settings
Before beginning to create, modify, or program a Preset
configuration or channel plan into your MTX5000, you must
define what settings are required.
5.2.4 System Rules
The IDU does not need to be removed from its rack-mounted
position to perform these procedures. The procedures can be
performed when the IDU is installed in its normal rack-mounted
position.
It is important, however, that the MTX5000 must not be
transmitting when these procedures are performed.
When performing procedures contained in this Chapter, you
must observe the following
CAUTIONS to avoid corrupting
software.
CAUTION Do not power down the MTX5000 system
when the software update progress bar is
displayed, as the software update can
become corrupted.
CAUTION Do not attempt to perform IDU software
updates or make changes to Preset settings
while the MTX5000 system is actively
transmitting.
Attempts to program software updates or
make changes to Preset settings into the
IDU when the system is transmitting will
interrupt broadcast operations and may
corrupt the software.
CAUTION Avoid damage to the color LCD display
panel!
The color LCD display panel touch screen
may be damaged if a sharp, hard-pointed
object, such as a pencil or a pen, is used to
select the displayed options.
Touch screen options must only be selected
using your fingers, a soft-pointed stylus, or
the front panel function keys.
