Powering the Equipment

3.1.1

Switching On

This equipment should not be operated unless the cooling fan is working and there is a free-air flow
Connect the signal inputs and ac power supply to the Alteia and switch on.
After a short period of initialisation and the Alteia gaining lock, the unit
powers up in Normal mode. This is the usual operating condition and is
indicated by the (Signal) Lock LED being ON and the Remote Control LED
being OFF.
The Lock LED will be GREEN if a signal is present and RED if there is no
signal.
3.1.2

Front Panel Over-air Download (Director)

The Front Panel software can be updated following an Over-air software
download. Under instruction from an Over-air Restart command, the
current (active) Front Panel software code is checked against the
corresponding code in the main receiver software. If the two are different,
the Front Panel code embedded in the downloaded software is loaded to
become the current (active) version. The previous version is retained in
flash memory as inactive.
The LED in the LEFT button flashes to indicate that download is in
progress. The process may take ten minutes to complete.
Do not interrupt the update while it is in progress. To do so may render the update ineffective.
3.1.3

Front Panel Software Manual Switch

During start-up, the unit executes the Front Panel software residing in the
active flash chip.
The unit can be forced to make the inactive (previous) Front Panel
software the current software. Pressing the RIGHT button on the Front
Panel, as the receiver is powered-up, forces the Alteia to boot using the
alternative software. The LED on the RIGHT button flashes during this
process.
Check the software version to ensure the previously inactive software is
now active.
The process is permanent; the previously inactive software becomes active
and vice-versa.
