Installation
AERO.10 is a 1RU product intended to be permanently installed in a standard 19 ½” equipment rack and
secured with four standard rack screws. It is fan cooled with air intakes and exhausts located on the side
of the unit just behind the front panel, but whenever possible, it is recommended to leave 1RU of empty
space above and below the unit.
Power
There is no on/off switch. AERO.10 will power up when power is applied to either power supply. To power
down, simply remove power from both supplies.
Each of the supplied IEC power cords should be connected to different mains power sources. Remember
that while redundant supplies do protect against the unit losing power in the event of a PSU failure, the
loss of mains supply voltage is a bigger concern. Accordingly, each supply should be fed from a different
circuit equipped with adequate surge protection and fitted with an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
Front Panel Operation
The front panel of AERO.10 includes a rotary encoder (joystick) which operates as follows:
•
Left: “Escape”; moves one step backward in the menu structure towards the main menu
•
Right: “Enter”; moves right into the selected sub-menu
•
Up: Moves up through the menu tree
•
Down: Moves down through the menu tree
•
Turn/Rotate: Adjusts parameters
When AERO.10 powers up, the front panel will be locked but will display the hostname, IP address,
system location (a user-customized field), and the software version.
The “Password” field will be highlighted by default; highlighted fields are most easily recognized by a light
border surrounding the text. The default password is “1234”. Click the encoder right to display the on-
screen keyboard. When the keyboard appears:
•
Rotate the encoder left one click to the “123” selection
•
Click right; the keyboard will change to numbers and symbols
•
Rotate the encoder left until the number “1” is highlighted, then click right to accept it
•
Repeat selecting and accepting the remainder of the password
•
Once the password is entered, rotate the encoder to highlight “Ok”, then click right to accept
•
Click down once to highlight “Unlock”
•
Click right to unlock the unit
