Remote Control

4.3Director

Ericsson’s Director Over-Air Control (OAC) system is available either as a standard feature or as an option on all of the RX8000 Series Receivers, except for the RX8320. OAC is a subset of the Director facility and is a remote control protocol which is used to access the units using Ericsson’s nCompass Control System. An Over-Air Download facility is also provided and a network connection is required for this.

For more detailed information on Ericsson Director remote control, contact Ericsson.

4.3.1Setting up Director Remote Control

For the unit to be controlled via OAC, the control mode of the RX8000 Receiver needs to be set to Director OAC control mode. This can be achieved either via:

•the front panel, using menu 4.2 DIRECTOR and sub-menus, see Chapter 3, Front Panel Control

•or the Web Browser Control interface, using the CA tab page, see Chapter 5, Web Browser Control.

4.3.2Over-Air Control (OAC) Lockout

When the unit is in OAC control mode, it is possible for the remote control operator to issue a local lockout command to the Receiver. This will effectively deny the local user access to configuring the unit.

However, if a situation occurs whereby the local user needs to regain control over the unit, without a local lockout relinquish command being sent from the OAC control PC, a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) may be entered through the keypad.

Caution!

Ericsson Customer Services Help Desk will not be able to provide you with the local lockout PIN, as it is uniquely created at the time of the lockout.

The user creates the PIN at lockout time. To obtain the PIN, please consult the person responsible for the administration of the unit.
