Sign configuration Before installing a sign, you may want to change one or more of the sign’s default settings by changing settings on DIP switches inside the sign. To access and change DIP switches, follow these steps: Setting DIP switches 1. Remove power from the sign. 2. If the sign is mounted, remove it and place the sign on a flat surface before removing the end cap. 3. Remove the two (2) screws from the end cap located on the right side of the sign: ON DIP switch 2 Use a small screwdr

Speaker volume control The AlphaPremiere™ 9000 sign has two internally-mounted speakers in the right end cap. Audio volume can be raised or lowered: • temporarily by using the IR remote control (the “U” key raises volume, the “D” key lowers it), or • permanently by changing an internal master volume dial (see below). NOTE: Also, the duration and number of repetitions of audio tones can be set using AlphaNET plus™ software. Refer to the “Site Manager” section of the AlphaNET plus™ for

Networking AlphaPremiere™ series signs can be connected together so that messages can be sent to each of the signs on the network. There are three ways to network AlphaPremiere™ series signs: • RS232 (only available with the Standard Configuration) — This type of sign network allows “point-to- point” communication. This means that a single PC can be connected to a single sign. The length of this network is limited to 50 feet. • RS485 (available with both Standard and optional Ethernet Configurat

Ethernet NOTE: A network administrator should be involved in connecting the sign to the Ethernet. The optional configuration for the AlphaPremiere™ 9000 sign includes an internal 10BASE-T Ethernet card with an external RJ45 jack. An IP address must be assigned to a sign.

Setting a sign’s TCP/IP address Before you can begin to use an AlphaPremiere™ sign on a Ethernet network, the display must be assigned a unique TCP/IP address. NOTE: The Alpha® Ethernet option inside the display is shipped with a default address of 010.11.11.1. To set a new IP address, follow these steps: 1. Get a unique IP address from your network administrator. An example of an IP address is: 10.67.12.21. 2. Write down the 6-digit Ethernet address found on the Ethernet option label the back

After the sign has an IP address assigned to it, you can: • select Tools > Query Device . . . to get information about the sign’s Ethernet status: • select Tools > Telnet to Device . . . to set various Ethernet parameters: Baudrate, I/F Mode, Flow, Port, etc. are all Channel 1 parameters. Typically, you would only need to set the Baudrate and I/F Mode parameters. 18

Setting Baud rate and Data format on an Ethernet-equipped sign On signs that are Ethernet equipped, the Baud rate and Data format of the sign’s internal Ethernet card must be identical to the Baud rate and Data format of: • the sign’s internal DIP switches. See “Sign configuration” on page 6. • the computer that is running the messaging software used to send messages to the sign. To change the Baud rate and Data format of the sign’s internal Ethernet card, follow these steps: 1. Using the Configu
