Status Item 11 - Pri Port Status (No Link / Link Only / Link+Data)
Indicates the current status of the primary Ethernet port. No Link indicates that there
is no Ethernet link to the switch. Link Only means that there is a link to the switch
but no packets are being received.
Link+Data means that packets are being
received which usually indicates Cobranet traffic, but not necessarily audio for this
unit (if perhaps it were not assigned at the truck).
Status Item 12 – Sec Port Status (No Link / Link Only / Link+Data)
Same as above for the secondary port
Status Item 13 – Firmware Version
Display of the version number of the firmware installed in the ADX-140.
Accessing the ADX-140 Menu Via the Remote Connector
The ADX-140 menus are also accessable via the RS-232 port in the Remote Control
connector on the rear panel. Although it's unlikely that you would need this function
it allows configuration of the unit in a case where it might be operated with Cobranet
hardware other than the ADX-2400. We also use it for test purposes in the shop.
The connector has a standard old-fashioned PC modem pinout, and will connect
directly to a PC comm port or a USB-Serial adapter.
The PC will need to run a
generic terminal application (like Hyperlink, or one of the many shareware terminal
apps available).
The baud rate is 38.4K, no parity, one stop bit.
When the PC is connected, press
return, and you'll see the the ADX-140 menus. The space bar will toggle between
item select mode and variable set mode. The comma and period keys ('<' and '>')
take the place of the knob to step through the items or to change the settings.
