Pairing with a BaseStation
Pair BeltStation to BaseStation:
Conrm that the BaseStation is powered ON and in Operational Mode (not in Menu Mode) and that the
BeltStation is powered OFF. Conrm that the BaseStation’s Network Number and Lockout Key are adjusted as
needed. See the section on Set Network Number and Lockout Key.
Plug one end of the pairing cable into the BaseStation and the other end into the
BeltStation.
The pairing cable is a standard 3.5mm
(1/8 in.) male to male stereo patch cord.
Turn the BeltStation power ON by pressing and holding the BeltStation Power ON/OFF button for two seconds. The
pairing process will begin automatically. Watch for the message “Pairing Complete” to appear briey on the
BeltStation display. The BeltStation will automatically re-initialize.
Adjust BeltStation Slot
The BaseStation Slot Assignment only affects the order that the BaseStation Operational screen displays the BeltStation information when the
BaseStation is in the Static display mode. If the BaseStation is routinely used as a communication port or for monitoring BeltStations, it may be
more convenient to always have the same user appear in the same position on the BaseStation display. This is a personal preference setting.
In the BaseStation “Tech Menu,” choose Static or Dynamic from the “Display Slot Assignments” screen. Dynamic, the default, will work without
any adjustment, and always displays BeltStations in alpha-numeric order by name.
Static will be the preferred choice for users who are using only one BaseStation and want to ensure that a BeltStation that is logged in will
always appear in the same location (slot) on the BaseStation display. When selecting Static slot assignments, you must also enter the Tech Menu
for each BeltStation and assign each BeltStation a different slot (1 – 5).
The BaseStation default is for Dynamic Slot Assignment. This means that when BeltStations log in to a base, the information about the
BeltStations is displayed on the BaseStation LCD screen in alpha-numeric order according to the name of the BeltStation. For example, “Dir”
appears before “Light1,” which appears before “StgMgr,” but they can change slots depending on which BeltStations are turned ON. If the
default settings are used, nothing is necessary. If the BaseStation is located in an equipment room and is not routinely used as a communication
port or to manage BeltStations, nothing is necessary. Adjusting so that each BeltStation always appears in the same position of the BaseStation
display is a two step process:
1. Advance to the BaseStation’s “Display Slot Assignment” section of the “Tech Menu” and select Static.
2. In each BeltStation, advance to the “Base Slot” section of the “Tech Menu” and adjust each BeltStation to a different slot (1 – 5). The
BeltStation designated to slot 1 will always appear on the far left of the BaseStation display, with slot 2 appearing in the next position to the
right, and so on.
4-channel and 2-channel BeltStations may be paired to either model BaseStation(s); When
a 4-channel BeltStation is paired with a 2-channel BaseStation operation of that
BeltStation is limited to channels A/B and can only hear one channel at a time.
