3 Controlling frames and cards
As previously mentioned in the introduction chapter, the information presented on the
REMIND-E display will depend on the state the frame was left in when last interrogated.
This could be any of the available card menus, frame menu or if this is the first access
after power on, the message - ‘Statesman Mode Press CAL to Exit’ - will be displayed.
The message displayed will determine the appropriate action to take.
Once a frame has been selected for control the REMIND-E will behave as though it was
an active front panel fitted to that frame.
Note:
Should the controlled frame be already fitted with an active control panel both panels will
mirror each other as any actions are carried out. Both panels will have complete control of
the frame.
This chapter describes the controls available to the REMIND-E when it is in control of a
frame.
The panel operational modes
The active panel has five operational states or modes:
•
Device mode
- select a card to control from a list of those detected
•
Card mode
– control the selected card using the menus provided by the card
•
Statesman mode
– start-up mode optimised for Statesman control (default)
Notes:
There are also panel and frame diagnostic modes, which are provided for factory use and
for Crystal Vision support personnel.
After powering a frame it will automatically enter Statesman mode.
Statesman mode is entered by default
To continue with control panel operation or configuration, press the ‘CAL’ key once. A
second press of the ‘CAL’ key will return the panel to Statesman control.
When Statesman mode is exited, the Device menu will display the name of the last
module detected together with its location number.
