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.
NoteWhen 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
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
202000NET 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).
NoteSNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been
installed and configured.
222000NET 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.
•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 Manual23
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-

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).
NoteTwo 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
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.
NoteIf 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.

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 2000NET Network Web Page on page 50.

•Power and Fan sleds installed (and empty slots),
•Presence of the 2000NET module (Net Card), and
•A clickable link to each device’s status page.
The status of modules, empty slots, power supply and fan sleds, 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.
NoteWhen 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.

•Slot Memory – the slot configuration for each media module is automati-
cally saved periodically to the 2000NET module in that frame. You may
also select the
Learn Module Config button at any time to save the current
configuration for this slot. The configuration is saved on the 2000NET
module. If the 2000NET module is removed or powered down, the
stored configurations are not saved.
When the Restore upon Install box has been checked, the current configuration saved to this slot is saved as slot memory. When the current
module is removed and another module of the same type is installed,
the configuration saved to the 2000NET module will be downloaded to
the new module. The box must be checked before the current module
with the saved configuration is removed.
If a different type of module is installed in this slot, a warning message
will state that the original module type has been replaced with another
module type. In this case, a
Clear button will appear allowing you to
clear the stored configuration from the previous module.

NetConfig Method Overview
To use this method, your 2000NET module must be running software
version 3.2.0 or later and you must have the NetConfig Networking Application option running on a networked PC on the same subnet as the frame
with the 2000NET module. This procedure uses NetConfig version 2.0.6.
2000 and Kameleon media modules that can be updated with NetConfig
are listed on the Customer Service web site.
Two files are required for updating software with NetConfig, the .fld and
the .sw2 for the module being updated. For acquiring software, refer to
Acquiring Software Updates on page 53.
To use NetConfig for software updating, follow the steps below:
1. Locate the PC directory in which the NetConfig application has been
installed. The default location is C:\Program Files\Grass Valley
Group\NetConfig.
If this is not where NetConfig was installed, right-click on the NetConfig desktop shortcut and select
and note the location of the installation in the
Properties, click on the Shortcut tab
Start In field.
2. Copy the .sw2 file for the module update into the main NetConfig
directory.
3. Create a subdirectory named modular (if one does not already exist) in
the main NetConfig directory.
4. Copy the .fld file for the update into this modular subdirectory in the
NetConfig directory.
5. Open NetConfig and click on the Load SW icon on the top toolbar
(shown at left).
6. The NetConfig Update Devices window will open showing the
software files available in two directories,

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 36).
•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 20).

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.
582000NET 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 Manual59
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. Press the Refresh button on the web page. Fully loaded frames may take
longer to load complex configurations to the 2000NET module delaying
module response.
2. 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.

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, on the 2000T3 frame
only, the frame alarm relay (via a DB-9 connector on the back of the frame).

Functional Description
Processor (CPU)
Memory
The 2000NET processor runs at 50 MHz. All 2000NET software runs on this
processor.
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.
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.
702000NET Instruction Manual
LEDs
Functional Description
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.
NoteNote: 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.)
2000NET Instruction Manual71
Functional Description
Frame Bus
Multiplexer and A/D Converter
The Frame Bus provides serial communication to each of the media
modules for remote configuration and monitoring over a network.
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
•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 k¾ 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.
722000NET Instruction Manual
Network Interface
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
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.

2000NET Software Update From FTP Server
If you are updating a 2000NET module with a software version earlier than
version 3.2.0, you must use the following procedure. Software version 4.0.0
and later must be updated using NetConfig.
FTP Method Overview
The Modular Remote Monitoring and Control System is an extension of the
Grass Valley Signal Management System (SMS) routing system and uses
the same File Transfer Protocol (FTP) technique to download software.
NoteThis procedure assumes your Local FTP Server computer is a 32-bit
Windows host running Win95, 98, 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. Place the module software update files into an FTPD modular directory.
3. Extract the FTP Daemon (Xitami FTPD).
4. Run the Xitami installation program.
5. Modify the FTPD configuration files to the Xitami directory.
6. Start the FTPD.
7. Use the 2000 GUI to initiate software updates.
NoteWhen updating numerous Kameleon or 2000 modules, it is a good idea to
dedicate one frame for the update process to avoid interrupting communication with active modules.
8. Verify the software update results.
2000NET Instruction Manual75
Appendix
FTP Software Update Procedure
1. Acquire the software update files from Grass Valley (refer to Acquiring
Software Updates on page 53).
a. Create a temporary download directory on your PC:
c:\temp\
b. Using the web browser, select the desired .fld ot zipped file.
c.Click to download the .bin (2000NET only), .fld (2000 media
modules) or zipped file. You are queried to either
SAVE AS. Select the SAVE AS option and set the path to the temporary
directory on your computer.
This process will trigger the download of the file to your computer.
NoteIf you have access to an existing FTP Server’s directory, the module update
files can be downloaded directly into that directory.
2. Move or extract the module update files into an FTPD modular
directory.
OPEN the file or
The module software update files must reside in a directory that the
FTPD can access. The Grass Valley supplied FTPD is configured to
access a directory designated:
\modular\2000
The new software for the 2000NET module (version 3.2.0 and later) will
be a binary file (.bin extension) or a field update files (.fld extension).
a. Open Windows Explorer on the local server computer.
b. If one does not already exist, create a directory on the C drive:
c:\modular\2000
c.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:
c:\modular\2000\2000net_sw400a_fw1.bin
NoteThe file name shown indicates: 2000NET, software version 4.00, firmware
version 1.0.
3. Extract the FTPD (Xitami FTP Server) files.
762000NET Instruction Manual
2000NET Software Update From FTP Server
NoteThis 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 Kameleon
2000 frame’s network. For those facilities that already have an FTPD or other
FTP Service available in their network, go to step 6.
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 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

Password Protection for Software Upgrades
The FTPD distributed for software downloads provides user name and
password protection for 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 59. (The file also includes the
SMS7000 account for customers with Thomson Grass Valley SMS routers.)

Upgrading Software
With the FTPD running, use the 2000 GUI to initiate software updates. Use
the web-browser to:
•Access the appropriate Software Update page for a given module,
•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 the
server, download the update file, and reprogram the targeted module.
NotePrior 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.
NoteTo monitor the progress of the download, you may use the serial port con-
nection with a computer running a terminal emulation application.
a. Open a web browser on a PC that is connected over the network to
the 2000 frame.

d. In the FTP Server Address field, enter the IP Address of the PC that
has the FTPD installed and running.
e. You can enter the Host Name of the PC that has the FTPD running
into the FTP Server Name field. This is an optional step and can be
omitted.
f.Click on Apply to set the FTP Address.
The web page will refresh and the new FTP address should be displayed as the Current Settings.
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 “/modular” is not needed in the path name.
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 84).
Apply.
After you click on
the Progress Monitor (Figure 61 on page 87).
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.
The module software compatibility check uses compatibility information included in the Field Update File to ensure that the new software was intended for this module. In the event that there is a
mismatch, the Net Board will abort the upgrade.
NoteDo not make any changes to the web page during the software download.
i.Once the download has started, wait for the Success message at the
end of the Progress Monitor screen to appear (Figure 61 on page 87)
and allow the frame to reboot before making any web page changes.

7. Verify the software update results by checking the Installed Software
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).
Unsupported Software Updates
If the 2000 module does not support network software updates, the Software Update web page will indicate software updating is not supported as
shown in Figure 62. These modules require a special cable kit
(8900-FLOAD-CBL with Instruction Manual) available from Grass Valley
Sales or Service to perform a software update. Details for the module will
be available in the specific module release notes that accompany the
upgrade.
NoteAlways read the Release Notes for the specific module for the latest software
download procedure before attempting to download software.
