Using hotkeys
The AdderLink XD522 units provide hotkey features to allow you to check and
adjust certain aspects of operation. Using the hotkeys you can:
• MonitorlinkqualityusingtheDashboard(seeopposite),
• Choosethepreferredlinkratemode,and/or
• Choosebetweenlineinandmicrophonemodesatthereceiver.
To use hotkeys
1 Using a USB keyboard attached to one of the USB A ports on the AdderLink
XD522 receiver, press (and release) the (Ctrl) key three times in
succession (either of the keyboard’s Ctrl keys can be used).
In response, the three keyboard indicators will all flash,
once per second.
2 Use the numeric keys 1 to 5 located above the main
section of the keyboard (not the numeric keypad), to
choose the required action:
Display the Dashboard. See opposite for details.
Select Line In mode for the receiver’s analog audio input. The icon
will be displayed on screen to confirm your selection.
Select Microphone mode for the receiver’s analog audio input. The
icon will be displayed on screen to confirm your selection.
Select Low Rate (LR) mode as the preferred link speed. The icon will
be displayed on screen to confirm your selection*.
Select High Rate (HR) mode as the preferred link speed. The icon
will be displayed on screen to confirm your selection*.
Note: If you do not press any key within five seconds, or press any key other
than the digits 1 to 5 (or once you have successfully chosen an action), the
keyboard will revert to normal operation. To use another hotkey function,
repeat the whole procedure described above.
* When changing between preferred link rates, if a rate change subsequently
occurs, the entire data link will be reset. This will cause a momentary loss of
the video, audio and USB services. A successful switch to High Rate will only
be possible if the link cable is able to support the higher rate - Please see
Tips for achieving good quality links for further information.
