6 Front and Rear Panel Controls and Connections

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5

F6 F7 F8 F9

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

reapplying power. Use only if abnormal operation is

observed.

F6, "C" LED -- Lights continuously when unit is connected

to a network.

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

received.

F8, "T" LED -- Dims when Ethernet packets are being

sent.

nected to power.

1, RS232 – This is the RS232 serial connection to the

Drake transcoder power supply or supplies. It should be

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.

supply which has at least a 250 mA capacity. The center

terminal is positive. The SCTeci will be on as soon as

power is applied to this connector.
