Figure 5-1: Model 5700MSC-IP Front Panel Layout
The front panel controls consist of two color LCD displays, 10 pushbuttons and a control knob. The
buttons are used to navigate the front panel menu system, view status information, and to change
various settings on the unit. The control knob can also be used to navigate the menu system and
make changes to settings. Pressing in the control knob is equivalent to pressing the SELECT button in
most cases. Press the HELP button at any time to view information on any currently selected menu
item.
The two color LCD displays are used to display the menu system and the current position within the
menu tree. There are also messages on the left LCD that indicate system status.

These buttons are labelled INPUT, OUTPUT, GENERAL, and STATUS. These buttons will illuminate
to show which menu is currently active. The control knob and the four green buttons to the left, , ,
SELECT, and ESC, are used to navigate the menu system and change settings. The PANEL LOCK
button can be used to lock the front panel to prevent accidental button presses after the unit has been
configured. The HELP button can be pressed at any time to display online help about the currently
selected menu or menu item.
