Chapter 3 Operation
3.1 Operation Overview
Most routine iPump operations are performed over the Compel network or
locally through the web browser interface. However, front-panel control is
required to switch the unit’s software (see 3.7 Unit Software Switch) or to
change some key unit settings such as IP address, unit label, LNB LO value,
and alarm/warning thresholds. It is important to remember that while most
operations will be performed remotely, the iPump does not prioritize incoming
commands based on which interface is used. Commands from the front panel
are treated with importance equal to commands from both the Compel network
and the browser interface. Commands are prioritized based only on the order in
which they are received. The first command received is the first one per-
formed. (Of course, when local control is disabled by command from Compel,
no local control is possible until re-enabled by Compel.)
In addition to introducing and describing the front-panel and web browser
interfaces, this chapter provides details on startup/shutdown of your iPump,
making initial unit settings for basic operation, and performing iPump func-
tions over the web browser interface. The chapter is organized into the follow-
ing sections:
•3.2 Front-panel Controls and Indicators,
•3.3 Startup/Shutdown Procedures,
•3.4 Front-panel Operation,
•3.5 Initial Unit Setup,
•3.6 iPump Operations by Function, and
•3.7 Unit Software Switch.
NOTE: When operated as part of a Compel Network, your iPump may
become unavailable for local control or may perform functions not
commanded locally. For example, the Compel network operator may command
remote iPumps to disable local control during a particular broadcast or
program schedule. Also, if set up to expect Compel commands, your iPump
may begin searching RF channels for a Compel signal if that signal is
temporarily lost.
