Changing Channels
The 16x2 Frequency display presents the current Channel number on the top line,
as well as the frequency of the channel on the bottom line [see Figure 5 item E]. The
available Channel selection depends on the type of ODU and preset selected [ENG vs
SNG]. Refer to the Change ODU [RF Bands] section to learn how frequency bands are
selected, and Change Preset to determine how presets are changed.
You can scroll through the available channels in this frequency mapping for this particular
frequency and ENG or SNG mode via the rocker switch [see Figure 5 item G]. The
rocker increments the channel number. If you press the rocker switch until the end of the
list in one direction, the list starts again. The Enter channel button will blink amber when
viewing a channel that is different from the currently active channel.
Press the blinking
Enter
Channel
button when you locate the desired channel [see
Figure 5 item I]. This will automatically turn off any RF transmitting device in
NewS
tream
[PA on, Carrier on or Cellular On]. The button is lit green to indicate that
NewS
tream
accepted the state change and is operating correctly. The 16x2 Frequency display
presents a message:
Channel Loading
on the
fi
rst line and
Please Wait
on the second
line.
Once the channel has been loaded, the amber button is lit green. The 16x2 Frequency
display presents the channel that you selected. Should the channel not be set, the Enter
channel button will blink red for 5 seconds and then stays red and an alarm will indicate
that there was a problem with the channel selection.

setup control and monitoring [see Figure 5 item R and Figure 6 (Ethernet I/O)]. There is
an RJ-45 port on the front panel and two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on the rear. Any of
these three RJ-45 connections can be used to access
