MS-4900, Rev. A 3–1
Section 3. Using the Front Panel
This section describes how to use the front panel of the IDR V1000 to view or modify
receiver settings. This information includes the following:
• Displaying and deleting messages
• Viewing and modifying configuration parameters
• Changing screen locks, password access, and local time
Configuration parameters typically are preset at the factory or are downloaded by the
network operator. The 2-line, 24-character LCD display on the front panel of the IDR
V1000 provides useful access to view these parameters, along with current activity
and status messages. You may be asked to monitor some of these displays routinely,
or you may be asked by telephone support personnel to describe the current settings.
Appendix C is an illustration of the entire screen display structure. Refer to Section 4
to interpret the displays.
Viewing
the Main
Topics
The eight screens shown in Figure 3-1 are the main topics of the screen display
hierarchy. (The identification screen is not one of the main topic screens, but it is the
top tier of the hierarchy and displays automatically after the self-test completes.)
