Generation Rack-

Quasonix, Inc.
4 Operating Instructions
The RM
RDMS™ can be operated through its front panel interface or via the web
-based browser interface
(RDMS
TM
Browser Interface). The browser interface is capable of configuring, maintaining, and monitoring
multiple receivers within a network.
4.1 Operational Priority
With two different user interfaces available
—
direct front panel operation and remote control
—
consideration must
be given to one or the other to maintain device stability.
•
The front panel control takes precedence over the Browser Interface unless the front panel is displaying
“Please Wait”.
•
Changes saved from the Browser Interface are automatically updated on the front panel.
•
Changes made on the front panel are automatically updated on the Browser Interface Monitor window;
however, a user accessing the Configure window on the Browser Interface at the same time is notified of
changes so unsaved modifications are not overwritten.
•
Users may also access the RDMS remotely via Telnet
Telnet provides access to the individual receiver channel’s underlying serial co
ntrol interface. The serial control
interface is not recommended for
typical
Rack-Mount Receiver usage. The Telnet interface should only be accessed
by advanced users. Contact Quasonix customer support before using the Telnet option.
Note:
Access to this serial control interface is provided primarily for debugging purposes. Unlike the standard front
panel and browser interfaces, the serial control interface within the Telnet window is not safeguarded from
accidental or improper changes to the receiver’s con
figuration.
It is strongly recommended that users contact Quasonix Technical Support (Tel: 513-942-1287) prior to using the
Terminal serial control interface.
Additional information about the Telnet interface is located in the RDMS
™
Access via Telnet and Serial Control
Protocol Technical Guide.
