Table 3.3: Unity 550 Types of OSD Action Fields
3.7 Customizing and Viewing Settings for Your System
Though the Unity 550 is set up at the factory, you can customize its settings to fit your
system using the OSD and front-panel push buttons. You may also view those settings and
various status and version fields from the front panel, viewing on a monitor.
Note: The screens shown in Section 3.8 contain only sample data. The actual data for
normal operation will differ due to settings differences for each network or unit.
COMPEL™
System
Control
The
Unity 550
IRD is most often controlled via the
Wegener COMPEL Control System
. This
system is managed at the uplink site, sending a control stream with the usual audio and
video data streams. The
COMPEL
System addresses units, and commands them to perform
various functions.
Among its functions is the ability to enable or limit aspects of local control. (See the following
section for more on this capability.) Also,
COMPEL
has the ability to mute the audio and
video of an IRD if it is inadvertently tuned to a frequency it is not authorized to receive.
If an RF Switch option module is installed,
COMPEL
will control which of the four RF feeds is
being processed. For more information on this, see the
COMPEL
Manual, or contact your
service provider.
OSD (On-
Screen
Display)
Settings
Several of the seven screens, which may be viewed on the OSD, have control functions,
which may be limited by the
COMPEL ™ system.
The Main Menu, Carrier Status, Software Versions / Serial #, and Signal Strength screens
have no control over unit settings. Because of that, they are not included in this discussion.
However, the amount of control the on-site user has over the Carrier Select, Serial Port
Select, and Audio Settings screens may vary, depending on
COMPEL settings. There are
four levels of control via COMPEL . These levels are:
No Local Control - Pushbuttons disabled.
Read Only - No changes permitted.
Limited - Changes may be made to Carrier Presets only. For instance, on the Carrier Select
screen, you may change the From Table setting, which will change the other settings on
that screen according to the pre-loaded values.
Full - Full Local Control.
