This article provides an overview of the front panel indicators and menu options available on the OMNI 256p and 512p Digital Signal Processors.

To the right of the screen, each DSP includes a rotary encoder, indicator lights, and navigation buttons.

The encoder displays a green light under normal operating conditions.

During the boot process, the light ring may show different colors. This will be covered in more detail in another article.

Below the encoder, the indicator furthest to the right is the power supply indicator. This light is green when both power supplies are connected and yellow when only one power supply is active.

The two remaining indicators represent network connections. The left indicator corresponds to the HControl ports.

The middle indicator corresponds to the Dante ports.

These indicators behave differently based on detected connections during boot. If only the primary connection is detected, the lights will be green to indicate a functioning connection. If both primary and secondary connections are detected, the lights will remain green for two functioning connections but will turn yellow if one connection is removed or interrupted.

The buttons located beneath the indicators are used for navigating menus forward and backward.

The main screen may display the logo and date/time or remain dark if the screen saver is enabled.

To access the menu, press the encoder.

The first menu screen is the Status page. All accessible menus are displayed on the top bar of the screen.

The Status page is read-only and displays DSP and storage usage percentages, date and time, internal and CPU temperatures, firmware version, primary and secondary connection statuses for Dante and HControl, power supply indicators, and the device name.

The next page is the Alerts page, which lists faults and warnings along with the date and time they were reported.

Warnings can be cleared, but faults cannot.

The HControl page displays connection status indicators, IP addresses, gateways, subnets, and MAC addresses for each connection. Network information can be edited but the MAC address cannot be changed from this page. The bottom of the page shows the device name and network traffic mode.

The Dante page displays the two Dante ports with networking information and the Dante name for reference in Dante Controller.

The Clock page shows the current clock source of the DSP. If this device is the Clock Source, the display will show Internal.

If the DSP is clocking from Dante, the display will show Dante.

The DSP can also clock to another clock source using the BNC input connector on the rear of the device.

The sample rate is displayed on the right and may be 48 k Hz or 96 k Hz.
