button (red color)
Press the red button to switch on the DAD control unit (Fig. 5.5). This button has
to be kept pressed until the blue on switch lights up. If the K2_FW software is not
activated within 30 seconds, the indicator light will start to flash. As soon as the
K2_FW software is activated the indicator light stops flashing and appears a
constant blue light. If, however, the Software is not activated within about 2
minutes 30 seconds, the DAD unit will automatically shut down. Once the
K2_FW software has been shut down, the indicator will flash for about 30 seconds
and will automatically shut down after 2 minutes.

WARNING
DON’T CONNECT the Battery Cable to the Remote connector
found on IDS TR antenna; IDS declines any responsibility for
damage caused to the system due to erroneous connections.

6. ON LINE ASSISTANCE
6.1 Remote assistance using Webex Support Center
Webex Support Center is a service that allows the activation of a two host session,
making an application or the desktop available to the other user or letting you
capture another remote desktop.
It can be used to perform web conferences and presentations.
It is easy to use thanks to its simple and intuitive interface.
Since there are no firewalls or other types of network configurations, it is a fast
and secure means of reaching any client host in any part of the world. In fact, the
client only has to accept to download a small plug used to permit the service
authentication and functioning.
