VX150 TO VX2 OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER

VERSION 1.0  2022-12-08

PAGE 2.2.3

User Interfaces

NOTE

: 

Nautel recommends you make a complete backup clone of the transmitter’s SD card in the event 

the SD card in the transmitter becomes corrupted or damaged. Use a Class 10 SD card with a minimum 
8 GB capacity (e.g., Nautel part number UB114, vendor part number Cactus KS8GR-245, or equivalent).

The user can interface with the VX150 to VX2 using one of three methods:

Remotely, via a LAN connection, using the Advanced User Interface (AUI) pages (see 

Advanced User 

Interface (AUI)

). You can enable remote control from the front panel by pressing the Remote button, 

which will turn green when enabled.

Locally, using the transmitter’s Front Panel UI and its rotary button (see 

Front Panel User Interface 

(FPUI), on page 2.2.86

). 

Remotely, via remote input/output (I/O) wiring connected to the rear of the transmitter to the 
remote I/O D-sub connectors on the real panel (see 

Remote I/O, on page 2.2.71

 for AUI or 

Remote I/

O, on page 2.2.130

 for FPUI). Refer to the VX150 to VX2 Installation Manual for I/O details).

See the complete menu hierarchy illustrated in Figure 2.2.2 (for the remote AUI menu) and Figure 2.2.3

 

(for the Front Panel UI menu). When a user interfacing function can be performed from both the AUI 
and the Front Panel UI, both are described in this section.
