Section 3 — Encore System Soft Panel Configuration
9. The Dynamic Keycap feature (checkbox on the upper right of the
console) determines what button legends are displayed.
CAUTION Do not enable the Dynamic Keycaps option if using Soft Panels with Encore
V1.7.2.2 or earlier.
a. When the Dynamic Keycap feature is on, all the Soft Panel button
labels will automatically show their functions, Source and
Destination names, etc.
b. When the Dynamic Keycap feature is off, the buttons will be labeled
with generic names that probably will not match their actual
functions. The Soft Panel's button labels will need to be edited to
reflect the function of the button assigned by the Panel Server. Right
click on a Soft Panel GUI button and enter the text for that button.
Use a backslash (\) character to force a new line of text. Remember
that changing the text of the button does not change its function; it
only changes the label for that button.
10. To close the Soft Panel application, click on Exit , or right click on the
panel and choose Exit application .
If the Soft Panel application was connected to the SCB when Exit is
selected, the connection will be restored automatically when the Soft
Panel is re-launched.
Note Default panel configurations have all Salvos disabled. Panel reconfiguration
is required before it can execute Salvos.
Soft Panel functionality can be changed with the Panel Server. Using the
Encore OUI log onto the primary CP Server that the Soft Panel application
is connected to. From the OUI select Soft Panel category and type being run
on the PC, then select the name of the Soft Panel to edit. Make the changes
you wish for that panel. The changes will be sent immediately to that panel.
SMS7000 Soft Panel Configuration
SMS7000 Soft Panels are modeled on hardware panels controlled via
coaxial cabling connected to Encore SCBs equipped with optional GSC
mezzanines. On Encore systems, a GSC mezzanine must be installed in an
SCB before SMS7000 Soft Panels will operate. This is the case even if no
actual GSC hardware panels exist in the system. While the PC running Soft
Panels uses Ethernet communications, an Encore SCB needs a GSC mezza-
nine in order to generate SMS7000 GSC panel commands.
