Tempest MasterBelt Operating Manual
The MasterBelt default is for Dynamic Slot Assignment. This means that when BeltStations log in to a MasterBelt, the information about the
BeltStations is displayed on the MasterBelt LCD screen in alpha-numeric order according to the name of the BeltStation. For example, “Dir”
appears before “Light1,” which appears before “StgMgr,” but they can change slots depending on which BeltStations are turned ON. If the
default settings are used, nothing is necessary.
Adjusting so that each BeltStation always appears in the same position of the MasterBelt display is a two step process:
1. Advance to the MasterBelt’s “Slot Assignment” section of the “Tech Menu” and select
Static
.
2. In each BeltStation, advance to the “Base Slot” section of the “Tech Menu” and adjust each BeltStation to a different slot (1 – 5). The
BeltStation designated to slot 1 will always appear on the far left of the MasterBelt display, with slot 2 appearing in the next position to the
right, and so on.
In Static Mode, if a BeltStation is not turned ON, or is logged out due to being out of range, the MasterBelt LCD display will not have a
shadow box around the respective slot number.
A Multiple MasterBelt system that uses iSelect Roaming must choose to use “Dynamic” slots to ensure that BeltStations can move from
MasterBelt to MasterBelt when roaming.
