Installation and Setup Using the Front Panel
The
VP‑8
iP
is equipped with
front panel menu navigation func-
tions to permit installation and
configuration without needing a
computer.
The menu is navigated by the ro-
tary encoder knob and illuminated
“W” button. The items in the list are arranged in tree form in order to make navigation
simple and logical. The menu is structured so that the Preset selection item is always
at the top of the tree. Logically the navigation list is as follows:
- PRESETS
- MODE
- INPUT
- OUTPUT
- NETWORK
- VERSION
- ACCESS
An item called <<MENU or EXIT is always present at the end of a list to enable
backing out of the currently selected item by one level.
The OUTPUT menu item radically changes as the
VP‑8
iP
mode is changed due
to large differences in the controls present in the various operating modes. In the
following pages the front panel navigation will be examined in more detail.
NOTE: Please use the detail shown in the following sections to determine where
the appropriate setup controls will be for your particular
VP‑8
iP
operating mode
and installation type.
PRESETS
The first menu item in the list is PRESETS, which allows scrolling through the list
of mode-specific factory (and/or user) presets stored on the
VP‑8
iP
hardware. Once
a preset is decided upon, pressing either the knob or the lighted “W” pushbutton will
select that preset to be active. The active preset will be displayed in the front panel
alphanumeric display and will scroll if the name is longer than eight characters. The
VP‑8
iP
will respond with TAKEN when the preset is loaded and running.
