Pairing with a BaseStation
Pair BeltStation to BaseStation:
Confirm that the BaseStation is powered ON and in Operational Mode (not
in Menu Mode) and that the BeltStation is powered OFF. Confirm that the
BaseStation’s Network Number and Lockout Key are adjusted as needed. See the
section on Set Network Number and Lockout Key.
Plug one end of the pairing cable into the BaseStation and the other end into the
BeltStation.
The pairing cable is a standard 3.5mm
(1/8 in.) male to male stereo patch cord.
Turn the BeltStation power ON by pressing and holding the BeltStation Power ON/OFF button for two seconds. The pairing
process will begin automatically. Watch for the message “Pairing Complete” to appear briefly on the BeltStation display.
The BeltStation will automatically re-initialize.
Adjust BeltStation Slot
The BaseStation Slot Assignment only affects the order that the BaseStation Operational screen displays the BeltStation
information when the BaseStation is in the Static display mode. If the BaseStation is routinely used as a communication port
or for monitoring BeltStations, it may be more convenient to always have the same user appear in the same position on the
BaseStation display. This is a personal preference setting.
In the BaseStation “Tech Menu,” choose Static or Dynamic from the “Display Slot Assignments” screen. Dynamic , the default,
will work without any adjustment, and always displays BeltStations in alpha-numeric order by name.
Static will be the preferred choice for users who are using only one BaseStation and want to ensure that a BeltStation that is
logged in will always appear in the same location (slot) on the BaseStation display. When selecting Static slot assignments,
you must also enter the Tech Menu for each BeltStation and assign each BeltStation a different slot (1 – 5).
The BaseStation default is for Dynamic Slot Assignment. This means that when BeltStations log in to a base, the information
about the BeltStations is displayed on the BaseStation LCD screen in alpha-numeric order according to the name of
the BeltStation. For example, “Dir” appears before “Light1,” which appears before “StgMgr,” but they can change slots
depending on which BeltStations are turned ON. If the default settings are used, nothing is necessary. If the BaseStation
is located in an equipment room and is not routinely used as a communication port or to manage BeltStations, nothing is
necessary.
4-channel and 2-channel BeltStations may be paired to either model
BaseStation(s); When a 4-channel BeltStation is paired with a 2-channel
BaseStation operation of that BeltStation is limited to channels A/B and can
only hear one channel at a time.
