Using the Front Panel
The front panel LCD screen displays a series of menus that can be used to
configure and control the system. The name of the current menu is always in the
upper left corner of the screen for easy identification.
• Beneath every menu name are symbols representing key presses that are
possible from the current cursor position in the menu. Note that the available
keypad moves may change during the navigation between menu fields.
• The top row, to the right of the menu name, displays the name of each field
available within that menu. These are called field labels and its setting is
displayed directly below.
• Beneath each label is the current setting for each field.
• Some fields may be changed by the user and others are for display purposes
only. Fields that can be changed have an arrow indicator ( ) just to the left of
the field label. During left/right navigation, the cursor skips over the labels that
cannot be changed.
In addition to the menus on the LCD screen, the LED indicators show the decoder’s
current status. The Signal LED is lit when the decoder recognizes a valid carrier
signal. The authorized LED is lit when the DigiCipher II signal LED is lit and
either (1) the programmer has transmitted the access messages to allow the decoder
to decrypt the signal, or (2) the signal is unencrypted or fixed key.
If the IRD is in an alarm condition, the Alarm LED is lit.
