So, for example, the above display would indicate that five antennas are connected to the
Base station in positions 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. There are no active antennas in positions 4, 5, 8, 9,
and 10.
There are 4 beltpacks currently connected. Beltpacks 2 and 4 occupy the first 2 slots of
antenna 3; beltpack 1 occupies the first slot of antenna 6; and beltpack 3 occupies the first slot
of antenna 7.
The display updates every 4 seconds to reflect changes in antenna status and beltpack
connections.
Rotate or push in the setup/enter encoder to exit this menu.
6.20 Setting the IP address
When IP is selected a screen appears allowing the IP address of the Base station to be set.
Figure 6-52 IP address menu
The IP address may be changed by use of the Enter/Setup rotary encoder. The current part of
the IP address that will be changed is highlighted and slowly rotating the encoder increases
the IP address in increments of 1 per step whilst rapidly rotating the encoder increases the IP
address in increments of 10 per step. When the required value is set press the encoder to
confirm it and then rotate the encoder one step to select the next part of the IP address and
repeat the procedure.
When the required IP address has been set select ‘BACK’ to save the IP address and exit the
menu.
To exit without saving any changes to the IP address allow the menu to timeout (about 30
seconds).
6.21 Locking front-panel enable buttons
From the main menu go to SYSTEM -> LOCK.
When LOCK is selected a menu appears that allows the user to lock the front-panel enable
buttons for partyline channel A, partyline channel B, and the wired program source.
Figure 6-53 Lock enable menu
Selecting ON for the lock maintains whatever state the buttons are in when they are locked.
That state is maintained even when the Base station is turned off and re-started. The buttons
can be locked either in the enabled or disabled position, in any desired combination.
Selecting OFF allows the buttons to be toggled on and off with a single push.
