NX5 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER

VERSION 0.1  2015-08-01

PAGE 3.2.17

The bottom banner is also permanent on all remote AUI pages and includes:

RF On

: Click to enable the transmitter’s RF power stage.

RF Off

: Click to disable the transmitter’s RF power stage.

Activity Window

: Displays various messages to reflect specific user interface commands, such as 

RF on/off, local/remote control, or reset.

Menu

: Click to open the 

Menu

 page, which allows navigation to various other pages (see 

Main 

Menu on page 3.2.21

).

Status

: Click to shortcut to the 

Transmitter Status

 page (see 

Viewing Transmitter Status - Remote 

AUI on page 3.2.85

), which provides current alarm and status details for the transmitter. When the 

Status

 button is red, one or more alarms of “high” severity is currently being reported and the 

transmitter is in an ‘off-air’ state. When the 

Status

 

button is amber, one or more alarms of 

“medium” severity is currently being reported, but the transmitter is still ‘on-air’, possibly at 
reduced power. When the 

Status

 

button is green, the transmitter is operating normally. In this 

case, either there are no alarms being reported, or there is an alarm reported that is not affecting 
the transmitter’s normal operation. This page is also available through the Menu page.

Logs

: Click to shortcut to the 

Transmitter Log

 page, which displays historical alarm and status 

records for the transmitter (see

 

Viewing Transmitter Log on page 3.2.22

).

Local/Remote

: Displays the operational control status of the transmitter. If 

Local

 is highlighted 

green, only local control of the transmitter - via the front panel UI - is possible. If both 

Local 

and 

Remote

 are highlighted green, both local and remote controls are enabled.

Reset

: Click to reset protection circuits and restore any RF power modules (and associated power 

supplies) that were inhibited, but are now alarm-free. Resets protection circuits that have latched 
off the transmitter. To initiate an alarm reset from the front panel display, see 

Resetting Alarms, on 

page 3.2.84

.

Log Out

: Click to log out of the remote AUI session and return to the login menu. To log in again, 

use your remote PC’s keyboard to enter your Username and Password, then click the 

Submit

 

button. If you do not have a user account, see 

User Accounts, on page 3.2.123

.

The displays between the top and bottom menus, contains user selected pages. These pages provide 
access to a variety of remote AUI functions such as transmitter status and user settings, all described in 
this section (see 

Remote AUI pages, on page 3.2.20

).
