7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700-RCP Remote Control Panel
Revision 1.0 7700-RCP-3
4.1. FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW
4.1.1. Overview of the Pushbuttons
Four front panel pushbuttons are used to control the operation of the 7700-RCP.
"& #When LED 1 is Off, these keys are used to select which module the remote panel is controlling.
The modules are numbered from the left of the frame starting at 1. The 7700FC Frame
controller module will be installed in slot 1. The modules that can be controlled by the 7700-
RCP will occupy slots 2 to 15 in the frame.
When LED 1 is On, these keys function the same as the toggle switch on the module and are
used to navigate the menu of the selected module. The "key operates the same as pressing
the toggle switch up and the #key operates the same as pressing the toggle switch down.
SELECT When LED 1 is Off pressing this key selects the module that is shown on the front panel and
activates its menu system. LED 1 will now come On indicating that the remote panel is
controlling the menu system in one of the modules.
When LED 1 is On the SELECT key operates the same as the Pushbutton on the module
being controlled.
SETUP This key is not used at this time.
4.1.2. Overview of the Status LEDs
Four front panel LEDs are used to indicate operational status of the 7700-RCP.
1 When this LED is Off the remote panel is in Module Select mode. Pressing the "& #keys will
select the next (previous) module in the frame. The module slot number and name will be
shown in the display. For example: 14. AVM Card
When this LED is On the remote panel it indicates that a specific module in the frame has been
selected for control and the remote panel keys are now used to navigate the module’s menu
system. The front panel display will show that the card in the selected slot is active. For
example: 14. AVM ACTIVE
2,3,4 These three LEDs are not currently used.
5. CONTROLLING THE 7760AVM MODULES
In order to simplify the operation of the 7760AVM modules, the operation from the remote control panel
has been limited to a subset of the AVM module menu system. When you select one of the modules
using the SELECT key, the AVM module immediately enters its On Screen Display Configuration menu,
with the top menu item (Back) selected. This is the main menu used to configure the window positions
and to turn them on or off. It is also used to turn on the audio bar graphs, and to configure the window
colours and opacity. The complete menu system for the AVM module is still available using the card edge
toggle switch and pushbutton. See the 7760AVM manual for complete details of the menu system.
