Version 1.2 - Subject to change without notice
OPERATION
Once the BUS is connected, the OBox will start in about 1 minute and messages will appear on the display. A longer start-up time may indicate a lack of
DHCP service by the router or a failure to connect the Ethernet cable to the OBox and/or router. During the start-up phase the two progress bar described
below will be shown on the display.
Screen 1
After connecting the OBox, wait for approximately 30 seconds to display the start-up screen on the LCD monitor. The code that appears under the
heading “starting” (“192.168.1.100” in the example in gure 2) is the IP address that the Obox has acquired from the router.
Screen 2
The second screen indicates that the Obox can be reached via Ghost for any remote access/assistance services. The alphanumeric code (“ABC123”
in the example in gure 2) that appears above the IP address is the identication of the system (ID) while the progress bar at the bottom indicates the
stage of the start-up procedures.
Screen 3
At the end of the start-up procedure, the system’s “home” screen will pop up as demonstrated in the gure below.
HOME screen
1Mobile signal power: indicates the signal strength in case the OBox has been connected to the internet via an internet key.
2Network connection: the presence of this symbol indicates that the OBox is connected to a local network.
3Cloud: indicates that the OBox can be reached remotely via the Over cloud service.
4Power supply: indicates that the OBox is correctly powered by BUS.
5IP: The IP alternates with the software version installed on the OBox (in the example gure the version name is Antares1234), with the conguration
and with the date.
6ID: unique identication of the OBox useful in case of assistance, maintenance and remote access through the Cloud platform.
7Messages per second: it is indicative of the trac on the BUS (number of messages per second). Values above 30 indicate that the BUS (in normal
operation) is congested. However, high values are permissible during scanning/ programming (up to 100 messages per second).
Screen 4/5
It indicates that the shutdown of the OBox is occurring when the SOFT HALT button on the top
of the device is pressed. Rarely should the screen remain blocked on-screen n°4 even if the swi-
tch-off has alrady taken place. In this circumstance, it is acceptable to disconnect and re-connect
the power supply in order to force a restart of the OBox.
Screen 6
It indicates that the OBox is restarting when the “REBOOT” button on the top of the device is
pressed.

Screen 4 Screen 5 Screen 6 Particular symbols
When the power turns to battery
mode, the icon labeled ‘battery mode’
appears with a percentage of the re-
maining charge. This icon replaces
the standard icon no. 4 of the HOME
screen, until battery mode is no longer
active.

The OBox is equipped with 3 buttons, located on the opposite side of the BUS and network inputs. The “ON / OFF” button performs a forced shutdown
of the OBox. The Display will then be turned off immediately. Unlike the other two, this button needs a long press. The “SOFT HALT” button performs a
safe shutdown of the OBox. It should therefore always be considered the preferred option, when possible, switching the device ON / OFF. The “REBOOT”
button performs a restart of the software application.
