4.1 Introduction
The front panel display and keypad are used to configure, control and
monitor the Encoder. The control interface is a structured menu which
gives access to the various options. This chapter describes the menu
hierarchy and menu items in detail.
NOTES…
The configuration of the Encoder after booting is the same as when power was removed, with the
following exceptions:
!The satellite modulator output is switched off.
!The modulation of the IF carrier is switched on.
!The output power level is set to low.
If the Encoder configuration after power-up, matches the required configuration, then to re-enable
transmission the satellite modulator output must be switched on, and the output power level must be
set to its previous setting.
4.2 Establishing Local Control (1U)
At switch-on the Encoder runs through a boot sequence (boot time without
any option modules is approximately 45 seconds). A typical Summary
Screen is displayed.

4.3 Navigating the Display Screens (1U)

4.3.1 Introduction

The menu items on the display are selected and amended by one of the
four navigation keys (shown as left, right, up and down arrows) and Enter
and Cancel buttons (see Figure 4.2). Most of the screens displayed in this
manual are for the 2U Encoder and are accessed in a different way (see
Section 4.5, Navigating the Display Screens (2U)) but the menu options
are the same for both the 1U and 2U Encoders.
The function of the navigation keys depends where you are in the menu
structure. See the following sections for details.
