2.10 Powering up the Terminal

2.10.1 General

Before powering up, ensure that all cables are connected correctly and that there is DC

power to the EX7100 terminal. Pay particular attention to the RF cable assembly,

ensuring all connections are tight.

The EX7100 on/off switch is located on the rear panel.

Note: This switch has an interlocking feature that prohibits accidental switch off. To

toggle the switch on or off you must pull the switch gently forward.

2.10.2 Procedure

Turn on the EX7100 terminal with the on/off switch. The EX7100 will perform an internal

initialisation test, before settling to its idle state.

In this idle state, the front panel LCD will display:

Note: ‘Exicom EX7100’ is the factory default terminal descriptor. This descriptor can be

any 16 character string, and may be changed at any time (Refer to Section 3.4.1).

If this descriptor was specified at time of order, the display will reflect that. For

example:

If the Operating Mode is configured as ‘100%’ mode, the ‘Tx on’ LED will light and the

system will attempt to establish a link with the remote terminal. This condition will continue

until a link has been established, indicated by the ‘Rx lock’ LED being lit.

If the Operating mode is configured as ‘on-demand’ the terminal will not turn on its

transmitter until a valid request is sent from the relevant user interface, e.g. telephone off-

hook.
