Enabling Alarms

The 2000NET Module has two eight-position DIP switches (S1 and S2) that
enable or disable the fault reporting functions. Disabling (or filtering) of
fault reports can be useful in isolating problems in the frame. Refer to

Figure 12 on page 17 for the location of S1 and S2 and Table 3 for the pos-

sible settings. A settings table is also silk-screened on the bottom of the
module.

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 13). A worksta­tion in a different Subnet, even when located on the same router, will be
subject to processing of the IP Gateway.

Avoid Proxy Server Routing

For best control and monitoring performance, configure the browser for
direct HTTP requests to the frame rather than addressing a Proxy Web
Server. Proxy Web Servers are used in intranets as a portal through the fire­wall to outside Web sites.

The Modular Frame Web Server will typically be installed inside the fire­wall. For best performance, if both the PC and the frame are on the same
side of the firewall, bypass the proxy server using the following browser
configuration.

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
failed, the 2000NET module will substitute a default MAC address: 08-00­11-09-CD-AB. If more than one 2000 frame in your network is assigned the
default MAC address, network conflicts will occur. To verify the frame has
a unique MAC address refer to Network Configuration Changes on page 35.

This section describes GUI functions for the frame.

The Frame Status page displays an overall status for the frame. This
includes status for each device, module, empty slot, power supply, and the
2000NET board.

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
porary status until a maximum number of sequential attempts fail and a
Fault is reported.

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 2000NET
Configuration page provides SNMP setup. When SNMP Agent software is
installed on the 2000NET module, enabled status reports are sent to an
SNMP Manager such as the Thomson Grass Valley’s NetCentral II.

Note There are both hardware and software report enable switches for each report.

Both must be enabled for the report to be sent. For information on hardware
switches, see Enabling Alarms on page 19. Software report switches are set
on the Configuration page for the Frame, the 2000NET module, and each
module slot.

SNMP Agent Installation

To use SNMP, the SNMP Agent software must be installed on the module.
The Configuration page shown in Figure 17 is displayed if the agent soft­ware has not already been installed. When you click on the install button
you will see the license agreement.

SNMP Report Activation Modes

Each report destination has an activation control that can select one of the
following modes of operation:

•

CREATE – GO creates a new report destination that becomes active after

the next module reboot.

•

CREATE – WAIT creates a new report destination that remains out of

service until the user selects active and then reboots the module.

•

ACTIVE changes a NOT IN SERVICE report destination to active after the next

module reboot.

•

NOT IN SERVICE changes an active report destination to inactive after the

next module reboot.

•

DELETE removes the report destination entry. If the entry was active it

remains active until the next module reboot.

Note Report destination status does not change until the 2000NET module is

rebooted.

The status column to the left of the activation operation pull-down window
provides one of the following status reports:

•

<BLANK> – No entry has been applied.

•

ACTIVE – All new status reports will be sent to this destination.

•

NOT IN SERVICE – The destination has a valid definition but the user has

not activated it.

•

ACTIVE PENDING REBOOT – This entry indicates the report destination will

become active upon the next module reboot.

•

NOT IN SERVICE PENDING REBOOT – This entry indicates the report destina-

tion will become inactive upon the next module reboot.

•

NOT READY – The destination entry is invalid. The IP Address may not be

properly defined or there is no IP Address or Community entry.

SNMP Status Reports

Status reports (traps) are unsolicited reports sent from the SMMP Agent to
one or more SNMP Managers such as NET Central. Each module slot can
be configured to enable these reports. See the Configuration page for the
individual module slot to enable/disable reports. Report 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.

Updating Software

Overview

The following procedure describes the software download process for both
the 2000NET module and for media modules residing in the networked
2000 Kameleon frame.

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, or NT.

If you do not have an FTP server, Thomson 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.

Software Update Procedure

CAUTION Always read the release notes before updating a module’s software. The

notes may contain critical information about the download process for that
module. If the procedure is not done correctly, the module can be damaged.

1. Acquire the software update files from Thomson Grass Valley (refer to

Figure 26).

Software upgrade packages are available on the Thomson Grass Valley
web site. The free FTP server software is also available.

a. Connect to the Thomson Grass Valley modular software upgrade

site using the following URL:

http://www.thomsongrassvalley.com/downloads/

c. Using the web browser, select the desired files. Each file is a self-

extracting .exe file. Double-click to extract and download the file.
You are queried to either
option and set the path to the temporary directory on your
computer.

This process will trigger the download of the file to your computer.

Note If you have access to an existing FTP server directory, the module update files

can be extracted directly into that directory.

2. Extract the module update files into an FTPD modular directory.

The module software update files must reside in a directory that the
FTPD can access. The Thomson Grass Valley supplied FTPD is config­ured to access a directory designated:

\modular

The module update .exe files contain the new software for the 2000
module, either a binary file (.bin extension) or a field update file (.fld
extension). Binary files are for the 2000NET module updates and field
update files are for the 2000 media modules.

Open the file or Save As. Select the Save As

a. Open Windows Explorer on the local server.
b. If one does not already exist, create a directory on the C drive:

c:\modular

c. Create a subdirectory using the model name of the file being

updated, for example:

c:\modular\8960enc
c:\modular\8960dec
c:\modular\2000net

d. Double-click the module software .exe file (in the temporary

directory) and save it to the appropriate directory. The resulting file
will be a .bin or .fld (8960ENC shown):

c:\modular\8960enc\8960enc_sw301a_fw1.fld

Note The file name shown indicates: 8960 Encoder, software version 3.01a, firm-

ware version 1.0.

3. Extract the FTPD (Xitami FTP Server) files.

Note This section is for facilities that do not already have an FTP Daemon (FTPD)

(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

be used to initiate the software update.

The line that verifies that the FTPD is running reads:

ready for FTP connections on port 21

7. With the FTPD running, use the 2000 GUI to initiate software updates.

You will use the web-browser to:

•Access the appropriate Software Update page for a given module
slot,

• Enter the required data into the HTML form on that page, and

• Submit the form.

The 2000 Frame uses the data in the form to contact the FTPD on your
server, download the software update file, and reprogram the targeted
module.

Note Prior to attempting update of software, refer to the target module’s manual

and confirm that the Remote/Local Only jumper is in the Remote position.

a. Open a web browser on a PC that is connected over the network to

the 2000 frame.

g. In the File Path field, enter the FTP file path of the software update

file.
The FTP file paths use forward slashes. The directory name “/mod-

ular” is not needed in the path name. For example, the file path for
an 2020DAC update would be:

/2020dac/2020dac_sw101a_fw1.fld

h. Submit the form and start the update process by entering the user

name and password and clicking on
By default, the Xitami Server has been configured to accept a user

name of “moduser” and a password of “moduser” for the modular
root directory. This may be changed by modifying the ftpusers.sms
file in the C:\Program Files\Xitami directory (see Password Protec-

tion for Software Upgrades on page 49).

Apply.

After you click on
the Progress Monitor (Figure 36).

If an incorrect file name or password is entered, the Progress
Monitor will report the condition and allow you to go back to the
Software download page and re-enter the correct information.

Version on the device’s Properties web page.
The software and firmware (if applicable) numbers should match that

indicated in the .bin or .fld file name (see Step 2 of this procedure for file
names and version numbers).

Password Protection for Software Upgrades

The FTPD distributed for software downloads provides user name and
password protection for 2000 module and 2000NET software updates. User
name and password entry is required in the Software Update web pages.

The assignment of User names and Passwords for a given FTP root direc­tory is administered by editing the ftpuser.sms file included in the FTPD
distribution (see Step 3 of this procedure). This file initially contains the
default user name and password (user name: moduser, password:
moduser) for access to the modular root directory and instructions for
setting up an account.

The contents of the file are shown in Figure 37 on page 50. (The file also
includes the SMS7000 account for customers with Thomson Grass Valley
SMS routers.)

The 2000NET modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology
and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to
demanding technical specifications. Circuit modules should not be ser­viced in the field.

If your module is not operating correctly, proceed as follows:

•Check frame and module power and signal present LEDs.

• If frame power is okay but module power is absent, check Fuse F1 (see

Figure 40).

•Check network connections at the frame and network routing devices.

•Verify that all Ethernet devices have a unique MAC and IP Address/
Domain Name.

•Reboot the 2000NET module (see Rebooting the Module on page 17).

Refer to Figure 12 on page 17 for the location of PWR LED and Table 2 on

page 18 for proper LED indications.

If the module is still not operating correctly, replace it with a known good
spare and return the faulty module to a designated Thomson Grass Valley
repair depot. Call your Thomson Grass Valley representative for depot
location.

Refer to Contacting Grass Valley Group at the front of this document for the
Customer Service Information number.

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?

Service

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.

2000NET Instruction Manual 55

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.

56 2000NET Instruction Manual

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.

2000NET Instruction Manual 57

Service

2. If only a specific parameter is read-only, the module may be in a mode

assigning read-only operation to that parameter. Refer to the module’s
instruction manual.

3. If only the 2000NET module is read-only, the 2000NET module may be

in remote lockout mode.

a. Check the 2000NET module’s status page to see if the NET CARD

REMOTE CONTROL status is disabled.

b. If so, flip Switch 2 on the S2 DIP switch block (NM CNTRL) to the

enabled setting (see

Table 3 on page 19).

Cannot Connect to the Frame From a VTECS1 VideoFrame Control Panel

1. Check that the frame is powered and configured with a 2000NET

module on the network.

2. Check that the control panel has been properly configured with IP

Address, Gateway IP Address, and Subnet Mask. (Refer to the control
panel’s help feature or instruction manual.)

3. Check that the frame’s correct IP Address has been configured in the

control panel’s frame address.

4. Check that the control panel is physically connected to the network.
a. Check that the control panel is connected to a port on an Ethernet

hub.

b. Check if the L LED (L for link) on the back of the control panel is on.

If the LED indicates no link (off), try a different hub port connec­tion.

If the LED still indicates no link, change the cable.
If the LED still indicates no link, contact VideoFrame.

5. Check that the frame is addressable by the control panel.
a. Check if the T LED (T for transmit) on the back of the control panel

flashes upon the attempt to connect to the frame.
If T does not flash, contact VideoFrame.

b. Check if the R LED (R for receive) on the back of the control panel

flashes upon the attempt to connect to the frame.
If R does not flash, there may be a problem in the network path

between the frame and the control panel.

Functional Description

Functional Description

The 2000NET is designed to allow remote control and monitoring of
modules in a 2000 Series Kameleon frame. It communicates to remote
devices through an Ethernet connection. It communicates with modules in
the frame via the frame bus. It also performs the error monitoring of the
power supplies, modules, temperature and fans. It does error reporting
through on board LEDs, the front panel LEDs, and the frame alarm relay
(via a DB9 connector on the back of the frame).

Refer to the block diagram in Figure 41 while reading the following func­tional description.

62 2000NET Instruction Manual

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 non­volatile.

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 NET 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.

2000NET Instruction Manual 63

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.)

64 2000NET Instruction Manual

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.

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.
