Power Up
The various front LED indicators and configuration switches are illustrated
in Figure 12. Upon power-up, all LEDs should light for the duration of the
initialization process. If all LEDs remain on, the module may not be fully
seated in its slot. After initialization the Power OK LED (PWR) will be on
and the red Network Module LED (NM) should go off. All other LEDs
report detected conditions within the frame and the installed modules. If
the NM LED does not go off, the board needs servicing.

SNMP Monitoring
The Thomson Grass Valley Modular Control and Monitoring System uses
the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) internet standard for
reporting status information to remote monitoring stations. The SNMP
reporting from the 2000NET module provides status reports (traps) for
various frame and module faults and warnings as described in Table 4 on
page 21.
Status reports (traps) are unsolicited reports sent from the SMMP Agent to
one or more SNMP Managers such as Thomson Grass Valley’s NetCentral.
Once an SNMP agent has been installed, the 2000 frame and each module
slot can be configured to enable or disable these reports through the 2000
web pages.
Note The DIP switches described in Table 3 must be enabled for corresponding
SNMP reporting of the system components.
20 2000NET Instruction Manual
Alarms and SNMP Monitoring
SNMP Trap severity can be one of three degrees:
•Warning – a limitation in the module’s intended performance,
•Alarm – a failure in communication with the module, or
• Informational – a configuration change such as a switch setting.
The enabled SNMP traps will be reported to any SNMP manager that is
identified as an SNMP Report Destination in 2000NET configuration (see
2000NET Configuration Web Page on page 34. Trap severity is read-only
hard-coded information that is interpreted and responded to by the SNMP
Manager software configuration.
The SNMP traps available on the Kameleon 2000 frame and modules are
outlined in Table 4. The web page location for the enable/disable controls

2000NET Instruction Manual 21
Establishing Frame Network Identity
Establishing Frame Network Identity
The initial configuration of the 2000NET module, using the RS-232 port
(refer to Figure 6 on page 12), establishes the frame’s network identity to
enable the operation of the Web-based GUI. A PC running a terminal emulation application is used to set the initial parameters for network communication. Once initial identity is established, the GUI can be used to make
subsequent changes to the networking parameters. Parameters established
include:
• Local IP address,
•Gateway IP address, and
• Subnet Mask.
Note If the 2000 Kameleon frame is to be connected point-to-point to a single PC
workstation, both the frame and the PC must be on the same Subnet.
Good Networking Practices
The Local IP Address form of a URL can be used within an intranet to
address the 2000 Kameleon frame’s Web page. An intranet is set up and
maintained within your facility and is isolated from the Internet.
Access from outside, through the Internet, may require the use of a Domain
Name and a firewall, depending upon your network architecture. Domain
Name Addressing requires a Domain Name Server located within the
intranet that maps the Domain Name to the frame’s IP Address. The 2000
frame has no knowledge of its assigned Domain Name.
Remote workstations are also subject to network traffic delays. Local PC
workstations should be used for real-time operation of the 2000NET.
The most direct and timely access to the frame is achieved by using a PC
workstation that is assigned to the same Subnet (see Figure 14). A workstation in a different Subnet, even when located on the same router, will be
subject to processing of the IP Gateway.

Default MAC (machine) Address
Each 2000 Kameleon frame has a unique ethernet physical level MAC
address that is stored in the frame ID memory chip. If this memory has

The Frame Status web page (Figure 15 on page 27 for a 3 RU frame and
Figure 16 on page 27 for a 1 RU frame) displays an overall status for the
frame. This includes status for each device, module, empty slot, power
supply, and the 2000NET and 2000GEN modules.
Note 2000 and legacy Thomson Grass Valley modules that can reside in the
2000T3 frame are supported to different degrees by the 2000NET module.
The status of modules, empty slots, power supplies, and the 2000NET
board are presented in icons arranged from left to right as they are in the
physical frame. Each icon also provides a clickable link to the device’s
status page.
Note When the 2000NET is first installed or when many modules are installed
simultaneously, it may take some time for the 2000NET to poll, update status,
and build the HTML pages. This is especially true if there are modules that fail
frame bus reporting. During these periods the Frame Status Page may fall
behind temporarily until the 2000NET board can catch up and present a true
current status.
During initial polling, modules that do not respond immediately may transition to a
WARNING, MODULE NOT RESPONDING status. In this case, this is a tem-
porary status until a maximum number of sequential attempts fail and a
Fault is reported.

FTP Method Overview
The Modular Remote Monitoring and Control System is an extension of the
Thomson Grass Valley Signal Management System (SMS) routing system
and uses the same File Transfer Protocol (FTP) technique to download software.
This procedure assumes your Local FTP server is a 32-bit Windows host
running Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, or later.
If you do not have an FTP server, Grass Valley provides a free FTP server
package that is easy to install and operate. This procedure assumes you will
use the Xitami FTPD provided. If you already have an FTPD available, you
can skip steps 3 through 5.
The software update process consists of the following steps:
1. Acquire the software update files and, if needed, the FTP Server
package.
2. Extract the module software update files into an FTPD modular
directory.
3. Extract the FTP Daemon (Xitami FTPD).
4. Run the Xitami installation program.
5. Move the FTPD configuration files to the Xitami directory.
6. Start the FTPD.
7. Use the 2000 GUI to initiate software updates.
8. Verify the software update results.

(also known as a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server) installed on the 2000
frame’s network. For those facilities that already have an FTPD or other FTP
service available in their network, go to step 6.
Thomson Grass Valley provides a free FTP server for those facilities
that do not have a local FTP service. The FTP server package is the same
Xitami Web Server FTP package that is provided with the Thomson
Thomson Grass Valley SMS router upgrade package. The version of the
Xitami Web FTP server distributed with module software upgrades is
for a 32-bit Windows host.
The FTP Daemon in the temporary directory is a self-extracting file
(ftpd.exe). To extract the files:
a. Open Windows Explorer and find the ftpd.exe file.
b. Double click on the .exe file and extract the files to the temporary
directory.
These files will be extracted:
• xic3223c.exe – the Xitami installation file,
• defaults.cfg – an FTPD configuration file that has been modified
specifically for Thomson Grass Valley software downloads,
• ftpusers.sms – the FTPD admin file specifying user names and passwords for network access to files in the FTP server directories, and
•Readftpd.txt – a Readme file.

Troubleshooting GUI Operation
The following is a list of possible 2000NET GUI and network problems and
logical steps for troubleshooting them.
Cannot Open Any of the Frame’s Web Pages
1. Check power to the frame.
a. Is at least one of the power supplies operating?
b. Is the 2000NET module’s PWR LED on?
2. Check that the frame is physically connected to the network.
a. Is a cable plugged into the RJ-45 connector of the frame or 2000NET
module?
b. Is that cable also connected to a 10Base-T Ethernet hub?
c. Does the 2000NET module’s ETHER LED indicate network
activity?
d. Does the Ethernet hub have any indication that a link is established
to the frame?
3. Is the correct IP Address/URL being used to address the frame?
If a Domain Name is being used to address the frame, try to connect
using the frame IP Address instead.
The Domain Name may not be properly assigned in the local Domain
Name Server or in the workstation’s host file.
The Domain Name Server may not be available to the workstation.Check that the 2000NET module has been properly configured.
a. Is the correct IP Address or URL being addressed in the web
browser?
b. Was the 2000NET module configured over the serial connection
with the
c. Has the 2000NET module been assigned the correct IP Address in
SETUP (re-run setup over the serial connection)?
d. Is the workstation in the same subnet as the frame? If not:
Has the 2000NET module been assigned the correct Default
Routing Address?
SETUP command?
Has the 2000NET module been assigned the correct Subnet Mask?
e. Has the 2000NET module been rebooted since new IP Address,
Default Routing, or Subnet Mask were assigned or changed?
4. Check if the frame web pages can be opened from a different
workstation on the network.
58 2000NET Instruction Manual
Service
5. Is the subject workstation physically connected to the network?
6. Check that the workstation and browser have been properly
configured.
a. Can the frame be opened from a different workstation?
b. Has the workstation been assigned a proper IP Address?
c. Has the workstation been assigned a Gateway Address?
d. Is the browser configured to connect to the correct port?
Is it attempting to connect through a modem when it should be connecting through a network interface module?
Some laptops have two separate network ports, one for stand-alone
operation, and the other for operation with a docking station. Is the
correct port being used?
7. Check that network traffic can be routed between the workstation and
the frame.
a. If the workstation supports a network ping, ping the frame. For
example, using Windows NT:
Open a command prompt (DOS window)
In the DOS window, enter:
C:\> PING [frame’s ip address]
The results will indicate if the ping reached the frame.
b. If the workstation does not support a network ping, ping the
workstation from the frame serial interface:
In the frame serial command window, enter:
->PING [workstation’s IP address]
The workstation’s IP address must be inside the double quotes. The
results will indicate if the ping reached the workstation.
c. If the network ping failed, there may be a network problem
between the frame and the workstation. To ensure it is not the
frame, check the frame with a point-to-point connection:
Using a crossover Ethernet cable, connect the frame directly to a
workstation. The workstation should be assigned an IP Address on
the same Subnet as the frame. Attempt to load the frame’s web page
from a Browser on this workstation.
2000NET Instruction Manual 59
Service
8. If the point-to-point connection attempt fails call Customer Service. If
the point-to-point connection attempt succeeds, the problem is
somewhere in the network between the original workstation and the
frame.
a. Check the connectivity to the frame from different locations in the
network to attempt to isolate physical disconnect problems.
b. Check the connectivity to the frame from inside and outside the
frame’s subnet to isolate IP Gateway routing problems.
c. Check for possible Ethernet MAC Address collisions.
If the Frame ID Memory chip installed on the rear of the frame is
missing or has failed, the frame adopts the default Ethernet MAC
Address.
If more than one frame in the Network adopts the default Ethernet
MAC Address, there could be address resolution problems. Upon
power up the frame will indicate in the serial port console window,
either:
“MAC ADDRESS IS UNIQUE!” – THE FRAME HAS SUCCESSFULLY
RETRIEVED A UNIQUE ETHERNET MAC ADDRESS FROM THE FRAME ID
MEMORY CHIP
or
“MAC ADDRESS IS DEFAULT!” - THE FRAME IS USING THE DEFAULT
ETHERNET MAC ADDRESS. THE FRAME ID MEMORY CHIP IS MISSING OR
HAS FAILED. CALL THOMSON GRASS VALLEY CUSTOMER SERVICE
Cannot modify parameters on Web Page
1. Check if parameters can be set for other modules.
If so, the module may be in a remote lockout state.
a. Check if the LOC/REM – LOCAL jumper on the module is set for
local control only. (Refer to that specific module’s manual for help.)
b. In version 2.0 and later of the 2000NET module software, the web
pages for a module in the remote lockout state will indicate that
module remote control is disabled and the module’s controls on the
web pages will be in read-only mode.
If other modules are not controllable, the entire frame may be in a
remote lockout state. In this state, software updates to the modules and
the 2000NET module are also locked out.
c. Check The 2000NET module’s status page if the frame remote
control is disabled.
If so, flip Switch 3 on the S2 DIP switch block (FRAME CNTRL) to
the enabled setting.

Processor (CPU)
The 2000NET processor runs at 50 MHz. All 2000NET software runs on this
processor.
Memory
The 2000NET has three different memory types, SDRAM, FLASH and
non-volatile.
The SDRAM consists of two 4 Mb x 16 ICs for a total of 16 MB configured
as 4 Mb x 32. During boot-up, the program code is loaded into SDRAM and
the program executes out of SDRAM after boot-up.
The flash RAM consists of two 2 Mb x 16 ICs for a total of 8 MB configured
as 2 Mb x 32. The program code is stored in flash and loaded into SDRAM
at bootup.
The non-volatile memory consists of a single 8kb x 8 IC for a total of 8 kiloBytes. Various configuration information is stored in this memory.
Functional Description
Temperature Sensing
The module has two temperature sensors. One is located near the motherboard side of the module and is used to measure frame temperature. The
other is near the front cover side of the module and is used to measure
ambient temperature. The processor reads these temperature sensors
through an I2C bus.
DIP switches
The 2000NET module has two DIP switches (S1 and S2) for status report
enabling/disabling. The DIP switches are read by the processor through
the Input Port.
General Purpose (GP) I/O
The general purpose inputs and outputs are through two relays (K3 and
K4) that can be open or closed through software control.
There are two general purpose inputs. Each has two pins, and a current
must be passed through them for the processor to read a logic high.

Functional Description
LEDs
There are twenty LEDs on the module and support for an LED on the front
cover. DS1, DS2, DS5, and DS6 are for factory use only. The remainder of
the LEDs on the module provide status information to the user.
The power LED is DS20. This LED is driven directly by the 3.3V power rail.
The Ethernet activity LED (ETHR) is driven directly by a 100Base-T transceiver. It indicates when there is either transmit or receive traffic on the
Ethernet connection.
Note Note: The Ethernet activity LED will indicate receive activity even if the packet
is not addressed to the 2000NET module.
Processor driven LEDs include the following:
• MOD
•FB
• COMM
• PS1
• PS2
• PS3
• PS4
•FAN
• TEMP
•REM OVR
•NM
•FP
These LEDs are all controlled by the processor through a register. The
power-up state of these LEDs is on.
The bi-color LED is a right angle LED that is labeled STATUS. It powers on
in the red state, and can be shown red or green by the processor. It lines up
with a light pipe on the front cover and is visible when the front cover is on
the frame.
RS-232 Serial Port
The RS-232 port is used to initialize the module with critical network
parameters including a static assigned IP Address. The Ethernet MAC
address is stored on a serial EPROM on the frame. (The frame needs both
MAC and IP addresses.)

Frame Bus
The Frame Bus provides serial communication to each of the media
modules for remote configuration and monitoring over a network.
Multiplexer and A/D Converter
The Multiplexer and A-to-D converter circuit is used to read the following
lines:
•Media Module Present Lines (12 front media modules, 12 rear media
modules)
•Center module preset lines
• Power Supply/Fan Slots Module Preset
• Frame Version
• Frame Type
• Fan Rotation
Functional Description
•Front Panel Fault/Presence
• Power Supply Health
The circuitry consists of five multiplexers, an A/D converter, and miscellaneous passive circuitry. The processor selects the line to read then drives
the multiplexer to select a particular input of that multiplexer. The processor then waits a fixed amount of time for the circuit to settle and then
reads the level using the A/D converter. Most of the input lines are connected to ground through a resistor.
This circuit also has protection on most inputs. A 1 kΩ resistor and diodes
clamp each input (except fan rotation) to 3.3 V to prevent a bad input from
causing the whole circuit to fail.
The processor should get a value of between 2.1 V and 2.7 V when reading
power supply health.
Fan Rotation Sensor
The fan rotation circuit consists of a multiplexer and a one-shot IC followed
by an RC filter. The multiplexer is used to select one of the eight possible
fan rotation lines. When connected to a fan, these lines carry a square wave
with a frequency proportional to the fan speed. The one-shot circuit produces a DC output proportional to the frequency of the square wave. This
circuit requires about 1 second to settle once one of the lines is selected. The
fans used in the 2000 series frame have a rotation sense period of approximately 3.4 ms.

Functional Description
Network Interface
DC-to-DC Converter
Network Interface circuitry contains 100Base-T interface circuitry.
Although this circuitry will work at both 10Base-T and 100Base-T rates,
currently the 2000NET software works only in 10Base-T mode.
DC-to-DC Converter circuitry converts the +24 V into the board to +5 V. It
also contains a regulator that generates +3.3 V from the +5 V. Fuse F1 protects the +24 V rail.
