Front Display Device Status Select Desired Device No... -
Page 21: Signal Level
Signal Level; this menu allows the signal levels for devices to be viewed. When entered detailed signaling information is displayed on the two signaling channels used by the device in both directions, as the devices are bi-directional. The received signal strength at the devices associated RCC is shown as a D RCC01 level, therefore indicating the signal that has been sent from the device to the RCC (the 01 represents the RCC number). -
Page 22: Rcc Number & Ident
RCC Number & Ident; this displays the RCC number that the selected device is currently assigned to along with the devices ident. You can also change the RCC that the device is logged onto by pressing the Rotary Control when the RCC number is displayed and then selecting a new RCC from the available list.

Page 28: Radio Channels
Radio Channels This menu allows you to view or alter the frequency channels currently used by the system. NOTE: Alterations to the Radio Hub and RCC communication channels can only be undertaken when no RCCs are allocated to the system. Alterations to the RCC and Device communication channels can only be undertaken when no devices are allocated to that particular RCC. - Page 29 Multiple RCC Channel Allocation Example The example below shows a multiple RCC installation using different frequency channels. The channels used in the example are colour coded and also shown in the table below. Having a system setup in this way ensures the two device channels used for each RCC are taken from the low and from the high band and are not duplicated.
