3.1 Transmitter Control
This section gives detailed operational information for the Platinum VAX-C Series
Solid-State VHF TV transmitter. Information pertains to the operation and navigation of
the front panel controls and the web interface.
The VAX-C can be operated from the LCD control panel on the front of the unit or with
the web browser interface which is accessed via computer. The LCD and control
buttons on the front of the unit can be used to control and monitor most transmitter
operations. However, in order to control the modulation settings a computer must be
connected to the VAX-C’s front or rear RJ45 ethernet connector. The computer can be
connected directly (front panel connection) or via a network connection to the rear
panel.
The web browser interface can be used either remotely if the VAX-C is connected to a
network or locally by connecting to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the rear of the VAX-C.
Simply enter the IP address of the VAX-C into the web browser. The IP address can be
found either at the bottom of the LCD Power screen or by navigating to the Setup >
Remote Comms screen on the LCD.
The default user name is admin. The default password is admin.
The ethernet port on the front of the VAX-C can also be used, but it has a fixed IP
address which is 192.168.117.88. See Section 5.12.4, Connection Via Front Ethernet
Connector, on page 5-34 for additional information on VAX-C Ethernet connections.
