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 home screen when the
start-up process is complete. The home screen shows four lines of user-
defined text, which can be entered via the web interface (Identity > Identity
> Base Station Identity).
From the home screen press an arrow key, a scroll key or OK to go to the
base station menu. The display returns to the home 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.
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.
