COMMUNICATING WITH A LEIT XRC CONTROLLER
The Uplink Radio screens allow the LEIT Link handset to link to a LEIT XRC controller in just a few
steps. In going though these steps you will select the controller Group ID (LEIT Link Master only),
and the Controller ID to be used for identification purposes when linking to a LEIT XRC controller.
After linking to the LEIT XRC controller, you can review
status information and then select from a wide range of
options to communicate with the LEIT XRC controller. Press
to continue. Press or to quit or for help.
This option is available on the LEIT Link MASTER only.
The Group # Number allows the handset to link to a controller within a group of controllers, which
have the same Group #. This gives the user the flexibility to address an individual controller in a
group of controllers by location or area.
Press or to underscore one of the two numbers
then press to select a number. Repeat the steps with
the second number to select the Group #, then press or
to underscore OK. Press to confirm and continue
to the next step, selecting the Controller ID.
The Controller ID is an individual identity address that allows you to link to a single controller, which
has this ID. On first contact, the Select ID screen displays two numbers that allow for a number
from 1-99 to be entered as the controller’s identity address. In order to link to a LEIT XRC controller,
which has an ID, you must enter the same identity address into the handset.
To set a Controller ID, press or to underscore one of
the numbers, then press to select a number. Repeat
the steps with the second number. Press or to
underscore OK. Press to confirm and connect to a
LEIT XRC controller with the same ID. The handset should
be establishing a link with this LEIT XRC controller. The word Select changes to Connect while
waiting for confirmation. If communication is not established the No Response-Try Again screen
will appear with Yes highlighted as the default. Press again to initiate communication with a
LEIT controller that has the same ID.
When initial contact has been established with a controller,
the first 10 characters of the controller description will
replace the word Controller. Up to 31 most recently
accessed addresses are displayed in this way. If no
description is entered the screen will show NO_DESCRIP.
The handset power is low; the handset needs to be
charged.
The handset has established a link with a LEIT XRC
controller. Press to continue.
The controller has responded and has sent its description
(if entered). The screen indicates that a description has
been entered into the controller. The handset can be used
to modify this description, which is described later in detail
in the Uplink System section. Press to continue.
