9. MODULE CONFIGURATION
The parameters of the VIP™ module are configured through the following tools:
Module Card-edge: Enables the user to set the module’s network settings.
Module Serial Port: Enables the user to set the module IP address and TRAP destination IP
addressing, network identification.
Web Server Interface: A web browser can be used to connect to a VIP. This interface does not
require any additional software to be installed other than the user’s
standard web browser software (i.e. Internet Explorer, Fire Fox, etc).
Maestro: This is a software configuration tool included with every VIP module used
to design preset layouts for one or multiple VIP systems, along with all on
screen display elements including audio bar graphs, UMD, tallys and fault
messages. Specifically colour, transparency, borders, etc. that are all
included in the final display output.

9.1. CONFIGURING THE MODULE VIA THE CARD EDGE MENU
While out of the menu system, the user will see product identification and build revision across the 4
character dot matrix display.
To enter the menu on the card-edge, press the card-edge pushbutton once and follow the menu
headings on the 4-character display. To adjust any parameter, use the toggle switch to move up or
down to the desired parameter and press the pushbutton. Using the toggle switch, adjust the
parameter to its desired value. If the parameter is a numerical value, the number will increase if the
toggle switch is pushed upward and will decrease if the toggle switch is pushed down. If the parameter
contains a list of choices, the user can cycle through the list by pressing the toggle switch in either
direction. The parameter values are changed as the user cycles through the list.
When the user has stopped at the desired value, depress the pushbutton. This will return to the
parameter select menu item the user is setting (the display shows the parameter name being set). To
change another parameter, use the toggle switch to select other parameters. If neither the toggle
switch nor pushbutton is operated for several seconds the card edge control will exit the menu system
and return to an idle state.
