APPENDIX C: Front Panel Display and RS-232
Front Panel Display
Front panel encoder knob is an easy way to quickly configure the unit without the need for any other
communication interfaces. The encode knob is used to cycle through the different configuration/settings
menus. Pressing the encoder knob will either enter into a new lower-layered menu or commit the
selection.
The configured Input and Output settings are displayed on the Front Panel LCD. If no signal is present at
the time of power up, the display will read "Not Configured" for both the Input and Output. Pressing the
encoder knob once will display the product description and the 7 different main menus as the knob is
turned. If the encoder is not pushed or turned in 20 seconds, the screen will go back to the top level.
Most commands will have a confirmation message displayed that shows acknowledgement of the
command. Due to the limited amount of data that can be displayed via the LCD, not all detailed data can
be displayed. It is suggested to either use the RS-232 or Ethernet interface for such queries.

RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 and RS-422 interface menus will have an 'exit' option. Selecting this option will display the
menu items one level up. The SPACE bar will repeat the current menu and the ENTER key will return
the user to the top level menu. This document will be formatted similar to how the configuration menus
are displayed on power-up.
The RS-232 setup and configuration is as follows:
•
Use Hyperterm or similar type interface.
•
Baud rate is 115200, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control
•
