15.6" HD Touch Screen
Access the Setup Screens
The setup screens enable basic configuration prior to regular operation of the Crestron®
TS-1542 and TS-1542-C. To display the main setup screen, touch the screen while
applying power to the unit.
The TS-1542 and TS-1542-C are functionally similar. For simplicity within this guide, the
term “TS-1542” is used except where noted.
NOTE:
If no project has been loaded or if an invalid project has been loaded, the touch
screen defaults to the main setup screen.
During regular operation of the TS-1542, there are two ways to access the setup screens:
1. Place a button on the project main page and assign the reserved join number
(17242) that accesses the setup screens.
2. Touch the screen with five fingers simultaneously, for more than 15 seconds.
The
TS-1542 Setup
screen is displayed.
TS-1542 Setup Screen
The
TS-1542 Setup
screen is composed of buttons for Ethernet setup, IP table setup,
audio setup, display setup, standby timeout, and diagnostics. In addition, there is a button
to toggle system messages on or off. An
About
button provides information about the
touch screen, and a
Save & Exit
button saves settings and exits the setup screens. The
functions of each are detailed in the following pages of this guide.
