F1, LCD Display – This display presents the selected
menu screen and the parameter settings. The backlight in
the display is on when power is applied. When connection
with a remote computer is established, it will indicate "Link
is Active" and will display the IP address.
F2, Left and Right Buttons – Use the left and right
arrow buttons to navigate from screen to screen to view a
parameter setting. These buttons are operational in the
view mode or the adjust mode. Using only these buttons
will not change any parameter settings.
Once a connec-
tion is established with a remote computer, these buttons
will have no effect.
F3, Up and Down Buttons – Use the up and down
arrow buttons to change the value of a viewed parameter
setting. The unit must be in the adjust mode in order for
these buttons to become active for changing a parameter
setting. If the unit is not in the adjust mode, pressing either
button will toggle between the SCTeci version number and
IP address, and 'Board Setup' and MAC number.
Once a
connection is established with a remote computer, these
buttons will have no effect.
F4, ENTER button – Use the ENTER button to enter the
adjust mode or to save and load a new setting or settings
after adjustment. To enter the adjust mode, hold for 2
seconds until a flashing "^" is observed in the upper right
hand corner of the display. After entering the adjust
mode, momentarily pressing the ENTER button again will
load and save any settings that may have been changed
using the F2 & F3 buttons.
STATUS LEDs
F5, RESET button -- This button re-initializes the micro-
processor. It has the same effect as removing and

F7, "R" LED -- Dims when Ethernet packets are being
received.

nected to power.

power supply. Multiple power supplies should be "daisy
chained" as explained in the transcoder instructions.

should be connected to the router, switch, or hub which
provides the gateway to the Internet or your LAN.
