4. Using the SmartView XPro

This section explains the general operation of the SmartView XPro. We recommend that you read this section before starting to use the product.

4.1 Rear panel special function switches

Before powering on the SmartView ensure that the two option switches on the rear are set to the OFF (up) position. Option switch 1 is reserved for future use and option switch 2 is used to enable firmware upgrades (see section 6).

4.2 Power supply connections and indicators

The SmartView XPro is fitted with two power inlets that are labelled A and B (see figure 2). These power inlets are both the same and either inlet may be used to power the SmartView XPro. The SmartView is shipped with a single power adapter but you may optionally purchase a second power adapter to provide power supply redundancy (part code PSU-IEC-5VDC). Plug the power adapter into one of the inlets. The power indicators on the front of the SmartView (see figure 1) monitor the voltage that is being supplied to each power inlet. If the power indicators A or B are illuminated then a healthy power adapter is connected. If you have two healthy power adapters connected then you may disconnect and reconnect one of then without disturbing the operation of the SmartView.

4.3 USER display and key switch

The USER key selects the user port that is shown on the green USER display (see figure 1). Pressing the key will cause the green display to change to the next user port in numerical sequence. When the USER display is changed, the red COMPUTER display will also change to show the current connection status of the new user port. SmartView 4XPro models have 4 user ports and SmartView 2XPro models have 2 user ports.
