Section 8 DETAILED MENU REFERENCE

120

MENU OVERVIEW

Zephyr has six menus; UTILITY, DIAL, AUTO- DIAL, DROP, VOLUME, and HELP. Each
menu is accessed from a dedicated button on the front panel. As Zephyr is designed for
ease of operation, each menu has, at most, two levels. There are no complex menu-
trees to remember.

Telos Systems is continuously updating Zephyr’s features. The manual section that
follows is for system firmware version 2.69. The system firmware version is the first
number displayed on the third line of the LCD when you power on your Zephyr. If your
Zephyr’s menu differs from the description provided, check to see if you have an earlier
or a later version of the firmware. If your firmware version is earlier, contact your dealer
or Telos Systems customer support to learn how to obtain an upgrade. If you have a
later version, changes in the menu are documented in the on- board HELP menu.

This manual section summarizes the menu items and many of the considerations
involved in selecting the operating parameters. More details to help you make menu
choices are found in background information in the appropriate manual section.

Menu Summary

UTILITY

The UTILITY menu is used to setup the parameters of the two major sections of
the Zephyr; the audio codec and the network interface. Zephyr is a truly integrated
transceiver, so you need to make only one adjustment to change a setting in both

sections.

From this menu, you can change the encoding and decoding schemes, transmission bit
rate, and codec sampling rate. Selection and configuration of the network interface, as
well as storage of auto- dial setups, are also accomplished from the UTILITY menu.
Other items configured from this menu include configuration of the STATUS OUTPUT
feature and the optional AES/EBU Digital Input/Output Interface Module.

HOT TIP!

Many of the menu items require confirmation of your new
setting to prevent accidental changes. The prompts on the
fourth (bottom) line of the LCD will advise you when
confirmation, with another button press, is required. If your
Zephyr does not seem to “accept” your changes, failure to
confirm the setting may be the cause.

COMPATIBILITY TIP!

Some of the features detailed in this manual may not be
available when communicating with Zephyrs using firmware
versions earlier than version 2.69. Each Zephyr will connect
with every other Zephyr, but you may need to modify some of
your menu settings. The most frequent compatibility issues are
listed below and in other appropriate sections of the manual.
