Using the Menus
The menu system provides screens for configuring certain internal parameters, such as serial
interface baud rates. It also provides status information regarding internal fault monitoring. There
are screens to restore the matrix to its default settings. Menus are multi-level hierarchies. The
operator chooses a level and moves to the next lower level until the specific items are reached
The normal display is the Connection screen, showing the state of the RF matrix. Press the
MENU key to change to the first menu heading. Use the UP/DOWN keys to scroll through the
headings. Press ENT to move down into the multi-level menus. Press ESC to return to the next
higher menu level.
Once a specific parameter is reached, the parameter can be changed by using the UP/DN keys to
see the various options. When the desired value is displayed, press ENT to make that the current
value of the parameter. Press ESC to abort, and return to the next higher level.
Certain parameters require that the matrix be reset. The reset operation occurs automatically,
without powering off the matrix. The LCD will show “Resetting” followed by the normal initialization
screen. The RF connection will be restored, typically without actually being broken. The reset
operation occurs whenever a communication parameter is changed (RS-232, RS-422 or Ethernet)
