CHAPTER 4: Installation and Initial Configuration
4. Installation and Initial Configuration
NOTE
This chapter includes full instructions for how to install single Base
Units or cascades of multiple Base Units. If you want to install a simple
Summit system with a single Base Unit, you might be able to do so by
following the simplified procedure in Chapter 1. If you want to install a
“direct mode” USM-to-CIM system with no Base Units, see Appendix B. If
you want to install a KV1519A CIM and a local PC in your system, see
Appendix C.
4.1 Using the OSUI for Initial Configuration
You’ll be using the ServSwitch™ Summit’s On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) at
various points while you install the Summit system, so here are some basics of the
OSUI that you can familiarize yourself with before starting your installation. Once
your USM and user-station equipment are in place and powered on, you’ll be able
to activate the OSUI by rapidly pressing the default hotkey ([Scroll Lock]) twice on
an attached keyboard. Each OSUI menu contains the following sections, as shown
in Figure 4-1: a menu-title line, a menu/screen body (for text and fields), a
prompt/message bar, and a status line that consists of:
• the current OSUI hotkey;
• Scan/Skip status;
• NCS ([Num Lock], [Caps Lock], and [Scroll Lock]) status indicator; and
• a communication-speed indicator (“L” for low or “H” for high, which will
depend on your Summit components) showing the communication speed
between the User Station and Base Station.
