System Features & Settings Menu

Swipe down from the top to reveal the System, Settings & Tools menu. Swipe left or right to show more options and information. Swipe up from the bottom, or tap the Swipe-up icon , to close.

 

Date & Time - Displays current date and time. Tap to adjust the system's date, time, time format, time zone, etc.

If connected to R-Server™, the Date and Time settings may be disabled, since R-Server provides a centralized/common time of day (ToD) to the test sets.

About - Provides test set's serial number, information, software version, licenses/options, and system's internal storage details.

Global Settings - General system configuration, including language, Telnet/SSH permission, default setting for NoApp® QR code generation, and Cloud Services (R-Server).

Calculator - Calculator application.

Screen Copy - The screenshot (screen capture) function saves the content of the screen (being displayed prior to opening the System Menu) into the File Manager, in PNG format, and by file type.This is similar to using the three-finger swipe down gesture. The image is stored in the File Manager with a YYYYMMDD_hhmmss naming convention.

Screen Lock - Touch this button to LOCK the touchscreen and prevent accidental operations. When locked, the screen will be grayed out, except for an Unlock button (location of button differs). Touch and hold the Unlock button to UNLOCK the touchscreen.

Cloud SaaS - Provides access to R-Server cloud services. VeSion® R-Server provides access to (optional) advanced cloud/hosted service that manages test set fleets, test results, data aggregation and analysis, workflow and job closing, reporting, asset management, software updates and protection. To enable uploads to R-Server, go to Global Settings.

File Manager - Access and manage test results, test profiles (configurations), and screenshots (screen capture image files). Files can be renamed, deleted, locked, shared, uploaded to R-Server or transferred to/from USB memory sticks.

EZ-Remote™ - Remote control cloud service (basic service provide free of charge). Enable/Disable remote access (Internet access required for the test set and the controlling PC, tablet or smartphone).

  • Press the Connect button to register the test set on the EZ Remote server (free cloud service) to make it available for others to use, from remote locations, using the web browser on any PC, tablet or smartphone (no installation required).

  • Scan the QR code, with a smartphone or tablet, to send an Email of SMS/TXT notification with instructions. A direct link will be included in the messages, along with any comments and passwords edited into them, so remote users just have to click (or manually go to https://ezremote.veexinc.net and enter the test set's Serial Number and Password). The default password is "pass1".

Wi-Fi® - Scan for local 802.11 b/g/n/ac/ax access points (AP) to establish wireless Ethernet/IP connectivity. The test set's IP address will be displayed on the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Bluetooth® - Bluetooth transceiver ON/OFF and pairing. A small Bluetooth indicator icon is also displayed on the top bar, when Bluetooth is ON and the test set is discoverable. Initiate the pairing process from the computing device (PC/tablet/phone) and use the last four digits of the S/N as PIN.

Battery Status - Displays current battery charge level, charging status, time to reach full charge or remaining operation time (under the current load conditions). A small power status icon is also displayed on the top bar.

  • A power LED above the screen indicates whether the test set is ON (green), OFF with charger plugged in (orange), or OFF without charger plugged (off).

  • In Low Battery condition, the test set will start beeping warning that it needs to be recharged. If a charger is not plugged in on time, the test set will power itself OFF.

Brightness Control - Touch the screen (LCD) backlight button and drag it UP and DOWN to increase and decrease the backlight intensity. By default, it is set to 50%, which should be good for indoor environments. Increase the intensity for outdoors use or decrease it for darker rooms (e.g., equipment rooms) or to extend the battery autonomy.

Ethernet - Configure the local (wired) Ethernet connection for the optional 1000BASE-T adapter (USB-C dongle). The test set's IP address will be displayed on the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Software Upgrade - Copy the valid software update file ending in .tar.gz or .tar.xz to the root directory of a USB drive. Once the unit detects the the update file on the inserted USB memory stick, the Upgrade icon becomes active. The system automatically identifies the newer version and upgrades to it when Upgrade is clicked.

PIN Lock - Enables or disables the six‑digit PIN Lock, which prevents the test set from being used until the PIN is entered at boot‑up. The PIN can only be changed by the owner or primary user, or reset by VeEX Inc. The test set will not obtain a network IP address until it has been unlocked. (This feature requires a software license.) See Boot Up PIN Code (Lock/Unlock) for more information.

VeEX is not responsible for any loss of productivity, loss of use, incurred costs, loss of revenue, inconveniences or any other collateral damages that may be caused by lost PINs or misuse of this feature. It is the sole user/owner's responsibility.
