38 Operation TB9400 Installation and Operation Manual

Display The display is used in conjunction with the keypad to access the base
station’s menus. It allows the technician to configure the IP address of each
reciter (refer to “Setting the IP Address” on page 48), and to set the contrast
of the display (see below).
After the base station is powered up, the display shows “Please wait . . .” while
the base station is starting up, followed by the idle screen when the start-up
process is complete. If the front panel loses communication with reciter 1,
the display also shows “Please wait . . .”, and the alarm LED flashes. If the base
station is activating new firmware, the display is blank and the power LED
flashes. The idle screen shows four lines of user-defined text, which can be
entered via the web interface (Identity > Identity > Base Station Identity).
From the idle screen press an arrow key, a scroll key or OK to go to the base
station menu. The display returns to the idle screen from any other screen
30 seconds after the last key press. Press any key to turn on the backlight.
The backlight turns off 30 seconds after the last key press.
Note If the keypad has been disabled, pressing an arrow key, a scroll key
or OK will cause the display to show “Keypad Disabled”.
Set the display contrast as follows:
1. From the base station menu select Modules > Front Panel > Contrast.
2. To increase the contrast, press the right arrow or scroll up key. To
decrease the contrast, press the left arrow or scroll down key.
3. When the contrast is set to the required level, press OK to save the
changes and exit the menu.
