38 25-Seven Program Delay Manager Version 2.3 Manual April 2013
••
You can use this function to add extra compensation for other delays in
your air chain, like those added by HD broadcasting. Use
¨
and
Î
to adjust
that compensation in one-tenth second increments. If you don’t want to
compensate for other delays, leave it set to
00.0
.
••
Set the baud rate for the rear panel RS-232 serial lines. Choose standard val-
ues between 1200 and 115200 baud.
PDM’s serial command language and data delay capability is described fully on page
44.
PD Alert
configures PDM’s automatic dump-event logging and alerting function. This
important feature and its settings are discussed separately, below.
Front Panel
mimics the front panel menu settings on PDM’s LCD for visual brightness
and contrast.
Save Changes
The
Save
button changes PDM’s internal settings to match whatever
you’ve entered on this page.
Revert
cancels your recent entries, replacing them with
whatever had been previously set in PDM.
••
Whenever you make changes on the configuration page, the title of that selec-
tion appears in
bold to indicate a change is pending, and the
Save
and
Revert
buttons will flash.
••
When you successfully Save those changes, the selection title reverts to normal
text, The
Save
and
Revert
buttons stop flashing, and a confirmation dialog ap-
pears on screen. You must click
OK
on this dialog before you can make other
changes.
••
If you type an invalid value or setting, that field appears in red to indicate an
error.
The PD-Alert System
When a user presses the
DUMP
button, PDM can automatically e-mail text alerts—or
actual audio files—to anyone you designate. This is our patented PD-Alert feature. For
security reasons, operators can’t change the PD-Alert setup from the device’s front
panel: you must log into the Graphical User Interface from a network computer, using a
password.
PD-Alert uses standard Internet e-mail protocols, so it has to be configured like a
standard e-mail account. You’ll need an outgoing server address, a valid user name,
and the password for that user’s account. This is the same information you’d use setting
up Microsoft’s Outlook Express, Mozilla’s Thunderbird, or any other e-mail program on
a desktop computer

PDM doesn’t receive e-mails; it only sends them. So it doesn’t need an incoming “POP” server. Also,
PD-Alert does not support the SASL [Simple Authentication and Security Layer] protocol, so you won’t be
able to use web mail services like Gmail.
