Installation

This section describes placing the module in the 2000 Series Kameleon
frame and cabling the communications ports. Procedures for power-up,
DIP switch settings, and network configuration of the module are
described in following sections.

In a 3 RU frame, there are two rows of six front media module slots in the
frame to accommodate either analog or digital media modules. Between
these rows are slots for the 2000NET and 2000GEN Frame Reference mod­ules. Refer to Figure 3.

The three slots on the right side of the frame are allocated for the power
supply sleds and the optional fan module. For additional information con­cerning the Power Supply module, refer to the 2000 Series Frame Instruction
Manual.

Slot number 13 (top middle) is allocated for the 2000NET module.

Power Up

The various front LED indicators and configuration switches are illustrated
in Figure 14. 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.

Note When a module is first plugged into the 2000 frame, the 2000NET module

may report a momentary fault. This will clear once the module has booted up.

Status Monitoring and Reporting

Rebooting the Module

If you need to reboot the 2000NET module, either remove and replace the
module in the slot or use the GUI to access the 2000NET Configuration or
Network pages. Both pages have a

Web Page on page 46 or 2000NET Network Web Page on page 50).

Status Monitoring and Reporting

This section provides a complete summary of frame status monitoring and
reporting in a Kameleon 2000 Series system with an 2000NET module
installed in the frame. It summarizes what status items are reported and
how to enable/disable reporting of each item. There are a number of ways
to monitor status of frame power supplies, fans, modules in the frame, and
other status items depending on the method of monitoring being used
including Frame Alarm (2000T3 frame only) and SNMP reporting.

reboot button (see 2000NET Configuration

Frame Status Reporting

2000 Frame status will report the following items:

• Power supply health,

• Status of fans in the frame front cover,

• Temperature,

• Module health, and

• Frame bus status.

Module health status will report the following items:

• Internal module state (and state of submodule or options enabled)
including configuration errors (warning), internal faults, and normal
operation (Pass).

• Signal input states including valid/present (pass), not present or
invalid (warning), not monitored, and not available (no signal inputs).

• Reference input states including locked/valid (pass), not locked/
invalid (warning), and not monitored.

• Signal output states with reporting functionality (reference output).

The Module Health bus provides a means for older (legacy) or less capable
modules (such as DAs with no microprocessor) that cannot communicate
over the Frame serial bus to report alarm conditions to the Frame Monitor
or 2000NET module. The reporting is done using a voltage level sent by the
module. When a problem exists on the module, it will pulse or provide a

20 2000NET Instruction Manual

continuous voltage level to the Module Health bus indicating that a
problem exists on the module but will not indicate what the problem is.
Alarms and SNMP Monitoring

Faults and alarms from the 2000NET module can be reported to a Frame
Health Alarm connector on the rear of the 2000T3 frame (see Frame Health

Alarm Connection on page 12) and/or to a networked SNMP monitoring

system (see SNMP Monitoring on page 24).

2000NET Module Alarm DIP Switches

Two eight-position DIP switches (S1 and S2) enable or disable the overall
fault and alarm reporting functions of the module. The current status of
these settings is reported on the Status web page of the 2000NET GUI
(page 45), the Frame Alarm Reporting web page (page 36), and the SNMP
Reporting web page (page 38). Disabling (or filtering) of fault reports can
also be useful in isolating problems in the frame.

The Frame Health Alarm on the rear of the Kameleon 2000 Series frame
responds directly to the settings of the DIP switches. Some media modules
provide enabling/disabling of Frame Health reporting for Slot Status,
Signal Loss and Reference Loss on the Slot Config web page for the media
module. Refer to Media Module Slot Configuration on page 51 for details.

Refer to the next section, Status Reporting Methods, for an overview of how
status is reported from the 2000 frame, 2000NET and Kameleon and 2000
media modules in the frame.

Status Reporting Methods

The frame status reporting methods include the following:

• LEDs on the Frame, 2000NET module, and individual frame media
modules,

• External Frame Health Alarm output on the rear of the 2000T3 frame,

• Web pages, graphics and text, and

• SNMP traps, captured by NetCentral or another SNMP Manager
Application (HyperTerminal).

Note SNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been

installed and configured.

22 2000NET Instruction Manual

LEDs

Status Monitoring and Reporting

LEDs on the 2000NET module, media modules in the frame, and on the
front of the 2000T1 and 2000T3 frames indicate status of the frame and the
installed power supplies, fans in the front covers, and modules.

When a red FAULT LED is lit on a frame front cover, the fault will also be
reported on the 2000NET module. The LEDs on the front of the module can
then be read to determine the following frame and module fault conditions:

• Power Supply 1 and 2 health,

• Fan rotation status,

• Frame over-temperature condition,

• Frame Bus fault (2000NET only), and

• Module health bus.

In general, LED colors used on the frame and modules indicate:

• Green – normal operation, (Pass) or signal present, module locked.

• Red – On continuously = fault condition, flashing = configuration error.

• Yellow – On continuously = active condition (configuration mode or

communication), flashing in sequence = module locator function.

Status LEDs for the 2000NET module are shown in Figure 14 on page 18
and described in Table 2 on page 19. LEDs for the Frame Monitor module
that comes in the Kameleon 2000 frames are described in the Kameleon 2000
Frames Instruction Manual.

Frame Health Alarm (2000T3 Frame Only)

An external Frame Health Alarm connector is available on pins 8 and 9 of
the RS-232 connector on the rear of 2000T3 frame (Frame Monitor or
2000NET Network Interface module required) as described earlier in

Figure 6 on page 11.

The Frame Alarm responds directly to the settings of the2000NET DIP
switches described in Frame Status Reporting on page 20 and to the selec-
tions made on the Frame Alarm Reporting Web Page on page 36. When any of
the fault or warning conditions enabled with the DIP switches or Frame
Reporting web page are present, the module responds with a pulsing or
continuous voltage level to the Frame Alarm. The type of voltage output is
user selectable on the Frame Reporting web page.

Connection and use of the Frame Health Alarm is covered in detail in the

Kameleon 2000 Frames Instruction Manual.

2000NET Instruction Manual 23

Status Monitoring and Reporting

Web Browser Interface

When the 2000NET module is installed in the frame, a web browser GUI
can indicate frame and module status on the following web pages:

• Frame Status web page – reports overall frame and module status in

• Module Status web page – shows specific input and reference signal

• A Status LED icon is present on each web page to report communica-

In general, web page graphics and text colors used indicate the following:

• Green = Pass – signal or reference present, no problems detected.

• Red = Fault – fault condition.

• Yellow = Warning – signal is absent, has errors, or is mis-configured.

tion status for the frame slot and acts as a link to the Status web page
where warnings and faults are displayed (2000NET version 3.0 or later).

• Grey = Not monitored (older 2000 module).

• White = Not present.

Status reporting for the frame is enabled or disabled with the 2000NET
module configuration DIP switches (see 2000NET Module Alarm DIP

Switches on page 21). Some module status reporting items can also be

enabled or disabled on individual configuration web pages.

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 Tab le 4 o n

page 25.

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 Frame
SNMP Reporting web page (see SNMP Reporting Web Page on page 38).

Note Two of the DIP switches described in Table 3 must be enabled for corre-

sponding SNMP reporting of the system components

Status Monitoring and Reporting

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 46. 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 Tab le 4. The web page location for the enable/disable controls
are listed as well as the SNMP trap reports available and their severity.

Establishing Frame Network Identity

Establishing Frame Network Identity

The initial configuration of the 2000NET module, using the RS-232 port
(refer to Figure 8 on page 13), 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 16 on page 27).
A workstation in a different Subnet, even when located on the same router,
will be subject to processing of the IP Gateway.
