[. . . ] (See illustration at left. ) See note on page 11 if FTP file transfer was used. No radio buttons will be displayed if SCT860 entries are selected since they do not have internally programmed serial numbers. Note that once a link is established, "Link is Active" followed by the SCTeci IP number will appear on the SCTeci display, and all front panel buttons except RESET will be locked out. Note: Allow ten seconds between stopping or closing one logged on screen and attempting to log on again. OPERATION (contnued) MODIFYING TRANSCODER PARAMETERS To modify parameters of any monitored transcoder, you must first do one of the following: 1) From the select mode menu, select 'single SCT860', or 'PS15x Transcoder'. OR 2) Select any of the SCT860 or PS15x entries that have active transcoders. Then press the 'View/Edit' button beneath the data for the selected transcoder. Either of these actions will produce a screen similar to the one shown below which will contain the changeable parameters for the selected transcoder. 9 ENTERING OR CHANGING SCT PASSWORD If the transcoders being accesssed have been set to require a password, this SCT password must be entered into the SCTeci. 1) Click on the down arrow on the 'Select Mode:' window, and choose 'Select SCT Password' from the resulting drop down menu. This will produce a screen similar to below.

The top cell of the 'Status' table on the upper right corner of the display will show one of the following error messages: Search; Out of Lock; Out of range; QAM Version; Demod error; or if there are no errors, signal to noise ratio (SNR). The selection box in the upper left hand corner of this window allows selection of the displayed parameters for any other transcoder attached through PS15x power supplies. The 'Block of 10' button will produce a table which will show all 10 transcoders in the group containing the transcoder displayed in the box. 2) Type the desired SCT transcoder password into the box as shown in the above illustration. 3) If the password in the SCTs needs entered or changed, someone at the SCT transcoder location must simultaneously hold down the left, center, and right buttons on each SCT860 or PS151 for at least two seconds. This will cause 'LOADING PASSWORD' to appear on the SCT transcoder's display. Do this on each transcoder or power supply that needs the new password loaded. If being remote controlled solely with the SCTeci, a password of 0 should be entered. 'LOADING PASSWORD' will disappear from the SCT transcoder's display and the new password will be loaded.
