Remote re-booting of the unit carries with it several caveats:
•
There will be a loss of audio while the system restarts. An
run for approximately nine seconds, and then nine seconds of no audio will elapse while the DSP code
is reloaded.
•
If O
mnia Remote Control is connected by a modem or direct serial connection at the time, it will be
disconnected and manual intervention will be required t
•
If Omnia Remote Control is connected by Ethernet at the time, the meters on Omnia Remote and
Omnia front panel will freeze. However, when the Omnia Remote control sess

Initiating Scripts via the Daypart Scheduler
T
he Daypart Scheduler is typically used to change a Preset at a set day and time. But, when a script is added to
the Daypart table, the script can dynamically change one or multiple attributes when the Daypart is executed. A
script for use by the Daypart functions is written using the special script editor built into the New or Modify
Schedule window in the Remote Software (Only) and the syntax is the same as for the Trigger Scripts described
in the previous section.
The Daypart Scripts editor is accessed from the New or Modify Schedule window by highlighting and clicking
on the Scripts button. There are also Test buttons on the page to force the Omnia-3 to immediately run the
current Start Script or End Script.
At the bottom of each editor window is a check box to enable or disable the use of the script. A script may be
entered but will not be executed until the enable bo
the action of changing the preset whe
execute only the given scripts and
checking the Preset, Enable Start Script Execution and Enable End Script Execution check boxes.
Start scripts execute at the beginning of a daypart, before making a preset change (if any). End scripts execute at
the end of the daypart, after making any preset changes. The script information is stored and retrieved in the
same means as other daypart information.
Dayparts can still be selected, etc. from the Omnia-3 front panel interface. However, dayparts with scripts
cannot be modified in any way from the front panel.
Note: Remember not to include any commands that may potentially prompt the user, since a user may not be at
the Omnia-3 when the commands are executed.
Note: The remote control application does not have to be connected in order for the scripts to execute.
