Sleep Mode
This control allows the unit to be forced into a Sleep Mode where main
functions are disabled, and the power consumption is significantly
reduced.
Data
With this ON / OFF control the user can select whether the transmitter
passes serial RS232 data across the RF link to the receiver.
Data Baud Rate
This field is used to select the baud rate of any RS232 serial data
component to be passed from the transmitter to the receiver across the
RF link.
Chaining Input
This control is not used in current SOLO products.
Chain Number
This control is not used in current SOLO products.
Current Config
This field reports the last loaded configuration number. Note that for the
SOLO transmitter, changes applied after the configuration has been
loaded are saved immediately into the current configuration.
Scrambling
If the AES scrambling option has been purchased for the SOLO2 or
SOLO4 system in use, then it is possible to encrypt the link. Scrambling
must be enabled at the transmitter by selecting either AES128 or AES
256 in the scrambling field. At this point the user will need to ensure that
the correct key is in use and this is done by using Options / Write AES
Key.
The key is a 128bit key for AES128 and a 256bit key for AES256 and is
entered as either 32 or 64 ASCII hexadecimal characters (0..F).
Video Locked (Status Only)
This status information indicated whether the transmitter is successfully
locked to the incoming composite video signal. Unlocked status may
indicate cabling faults, or poor quality incoming video feeds to the unit.
