Virtual Terminal Display
Using the tractor Virtual Terminal interface with ISOBUS Block
Virtual Terminal Display
When connected to a tractor's ISOBUS system, the ISOBUS Block appears on the Virtual Terminal (VT) display. This is where you set up and operate the module — no phone or laptop needed.
Main Screen
The main screen shows a grid of buttons. Each button switches one or more relay channels (CH1–CH8) and carries its own name, icon, and mode.
- Press a button to switch its assigned channel(s).
- A button reflects its channel state — lit when the relay is ON, unlit when OFF.
Soft Keys
- EDIT (cog icon) — Enter edit mode to set up the buttons
- INFO — Shows device information (WiFi SSID, IP address, OTA key)
Setting Up a Button (EDIT Mode)
Everything about a button is configured here — there is no setup over WiFi.
- Press the EDIT soft key (cog icon). All buttons turn blue to show edit mode is active.
- Tap the button you want to set up.
- Configure the button:
- Name — type a label on the VT keyboard (e.g.,
DIVERTER,WORK LIGHT) - Icon — step through the icons with the arrow buttons and pick one
- Channels — tap CH1–CH8 to choose which relay channel(s) this button switches (one or several)
- Mode — choose MOM (momentary) or TOG (toggle)
- Name — type a label on the VT keyboard (e.g.,
- Exit edit mode to save.
The name and icon you set appear in two places: on this main screen, and in the tractor's AUX-N assignment menu when you bind the button to a joystick trigger or armrest button. Both persist across power cycles.

Info Screen
Press the INFO soft key to see device information:
- Firmware Version — Current installed firmware
- WiFi SSID — Network name to connect for the web interface
- IP Address — Always 192.168.4.1
- OTA Key — 4-character code needed for firmware updates
Press BACK to return to the main screen.
Status Updates
The VT display updates approximately 10 times per second:
- Each button reflects the actual relay state of its channel(s)
- All indicators are color-coded for quick visual identification
Tips
- The VT display works alongside the web interface — both show the same channel status, and the web interface can switch outputs for testing.
- Button setup (name, icon, channels, mode) and AUX-N assignment are done on the VT only — they cannot be changed over WiFi.
- If the VT shows "ISOBUS: Disconnected", check your CAN bus wiring.
Common questions about VT setup, edit mode, and AUX-N assignment are answered on the FAQ page.
