Context-Sensitive Help
When the mouse-pointer is positioned over a specific field label in the VistaNET
Unit View, the text-box located at the bottom of the view will provide general
information on the field. Also, for some fields, when the mouse-pointer is
positioned over the field itself, more info is provided on that specific
reading/selection. This is a useful tool for explaining the capabilities and options
of both programmable fields and read-only fields of the unit.
Alignment
The 86445-32 2W FXS unit must be correctly configured as per the Node
Assignment Drawing. All software adjustable fields are detailed in the
Configuration section of this manual. The user must ensure that all external
connections to the paddleboard are correct.
Bantam Jacks
The front-panel bantam jacks T1/R1 and T2/R2 provide access to the 2W VF
signals on Line 1 and Line 2 respectively. Through the software, they can be
individually configured for splitting or bridging. The bridging access can be used
for monitoring the analog VF signal present at the paddleboard connections. The
splitting access disconnects the paddleboard connections so that the bantam
jack signal can be used for testing purposes.
Signaling Tests
Unit's built-in signaling test features allow for sending a specific, user-selectable
signaling condition to the far-end unit and/or to the local drop equipment. Refer
to
XMT Signalling
and
RCV Signalling
fields in the
Configuration
section for more
information.
