The RT430/434 front panel consists of a LCD display, two indicators and buttons to
navigate through the screen. The figure below illustrates the equipment's front view.
Figure 24: Local Interface from RT430 and RT434
The RT430/434 has an LCD display (20 columns x 2 lines) for time monitoring and
network setup. The display's first screen shows temporal reference information: day
of the week, day, month, year, day of the year, hours, minutes, seconds, time zone
and the number of monitored satellites.
By navigating through the display using the buttons (arrows pointing right and left), it
is possible to check the configuration of the equipment's two Ethernet networks. IP
addresses, network mask, gateway, broadcast and DNS server are shown for each
network. The following illustration presents the possible menu screens for the RT430.
The RT434 menu has the same screens as the RT430, but informing about all 4
Ethernet ports.

The Locked indicator shows that unit is synchronized with time references from
satellites. This indicator blinks when the unit is searching for orbit data from satellites,
which is a common situation if the unit has been moved over long distances or has
been out of operation for a long period. This indicator will turn off as soon as the
external reference is lost.
