Using the text/graphics display on the device enables a more detailed system diagnosis. With the four
keys the device is easy to use. The bilingual structure of the menus and messages simplifies
worldwide use of this device family. An intelligent message management generates priority-based
diagnostic and error messages and supports the user during set-up.
The respective function of the keys is displayed dynamically above the keys.
After power-on of the gateway the device displays either a start screen with the
ifm
logo (AC1376) or
with the headline "AS-i DP Gateway" (AC1375) or – if available – a list of the errors in the connected
AS-i systems. In any case, the system menu can be accessed by pressing the left [MENU] button.
