ROSS Front Panel Interface (Keypad/LCD)
The ROSS units have a front panel interface consisting of a six-function keypad and 16x2
character LCD display. The Front Panel interface allows for local maintenance of the ROSS unit.
Any configuration and operation function provided in the console interface (sec 4.1) is available
from the front panel interface.
This keypad interface is based on a structured menu system where the keypad is used for menu
navigation, data entry, and command execution. The “Select” button (green check) is used to
select items on the menu display. The “Cancel” button (red X) will cancel any operation or move
to the upper menu level.
Navigation from one menu item to another is accomplished by using the arrows keys to move the
cursor (flashing block) to the desired item. Pressing the “Select” button will execute the
command or menu item identified by the cursor position.

This initial splash screen displays the transmit status and the current service area id and service
bound id (in parentheses) being used.
The Keypad interface uses a multi-level menu tree to expose the commands and functions. The
root level menus and their sub-menus are shown below. The menu structure closely matches the
menu in the ROSS console interface described in Section 4.1.
