The Menu System

h w

ZephyrExpress’ operating parameters are set through a series of nested menus, organ- ized by function. Many menu items are “live” — changing the value makes an immedi- ate change in ZephyrExpress’ behavior — and every item is supported by specific, unique online HELP. To find out what a item menu does (without reading this section), high- light it and press the HELP button.

HOT TIP!

You can pre-program ZephyrExpress to simplify operation, so a field engineer never has to open any menus Ñ even if the unit is used at multiple sites, with different codec and ISDN requirements. See ÒMaster SetupsÓ, page 6-7.

You can lock any or all menus so they canÕt be accidentally changed in the field. See ÒSafe ModeÓ, page 6-19.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

If a menu item is locked, youÕll see the message This menu is disabled in SAFE mode for your own security! when you try to change it.DonÕt be offended.

Instead, take a small screwdriver or ball-point pen1 and flip the SAFE switch on the rear panel. The red SAFE light on the front panel will go out, and youÕll be able to change the menu settings.

A typical menu

Takes you to next	Menu Name
higher menu	Higlighted item (gray)
	This item is a submenu
Scrollbar	This item is a setting
	Description of
	highlighted item

Menus are navigated by turning the EDIT knob to scroll up and down, highlighting each item in turn. Most menus have more than four choices, so there may be additional lines scrolled off the top or bottom. The Scrollbar on the side of the screen moves up and down like an elevator car, to show you how far you’ve scrolled through the available lines.

When you highlight an item, it turns gray.

1Don’t use a pencil. The graphite tip can break off and cause shorts inside ZephyrEx- press. This happened to one of our early field units, and it wasn’t pretty.
