3. USER INTERFACE DESCRIPTION. MANUAL CONTROL.
Configuration and operation of the Phoenix ALIO unit can be done either using the equipment
front panel controls featuring an OLED screen and associated controls and indicators, or
remotely using the "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" application (Control and Configuration software
for AEQ Phoenix STRATOS, STUDIO, MERCURY, VENUS, VENUS V2, VENUS V3 and ALIO
audiocodecs). This chapter describes the first mode.
Functional areas or sections of the user interface are described next:
CONTROL SURFACE
USER INTERFACE LOCK: From CPU version 6.80 and alter, it is possible to lock certain
functions of the user panel from the control software. These functions are disabled in groups
and, this way, improper operation of the unit by users with little experience can be avoided. In
order to get more details about which functions can be locked, check section 4.9 of this manual.

The control surface has been designed bearing in
mind that, quite often, it is not possible to send a
qualified technician to accomplish an outside
broadcast. It can be totally controlled from the station,
and also locally operated by choosing among several
simple options, that are further simplified when
connected to another AEQ Phoenix audiocodec. A
more detailed configuration can be carried out by
setting up the parameters under the MENU key.
