Operation
Introduction
The front panel user interface comprises a power switch, and 6 buttons for configuring
the unit, 10 illuminated pre-set configuration buttons, a USB-2 interface and LED
indicators for status reporting.
For text insertion and additional functionality, a PC keyboard may be connected to the
USB-2 socket.
An optional 1U remote panel (SV-Remote) replicates the front panel of the SM-xx and is
connected via LAN.
The P1 and P2 LEDs should light green to indicate healthy power supplies. If the red F
LED is lit after the unit has booted, failure of one or more ventilation fans has been
detected. Under normal circumstances, the boot cycle takes about 70 seconds.
The SM-xx can be configured and controlled via the LAN, using browser software
operating on a remote PC.
Local Operating Modes
At the front or remote panel, normal or ‘locked’ is the normal operating mode. A special
configuration or ‘menu’ mode is provided to allow initial IP address configuration for LAN
control via a browser. The currently set IP address will appear to the top left of the display
output during the boot cycle.
Normal Mode
In normal use, the configuration menu will be locked to prevent inadvertent operation and
configuration menus are not available.
In this mode, the 10 illuminated pre-set configuration buttons are active. A currently
displayed configuration can be stored by holding down the desired pre-set button for
more than 3 seconds.
Stored presets are recalled by briefly pressing the desired pre-set button, which will
illuminate.
Should the frame lose power, it will restore the last known configuration settings on
reboot and automatically reflect these in the browser.
