Configuration and Monitoring

Remote Configuration and Monitoring

Configuration and monitoring can be performed using a web browser GUI
interface or a networked Newton Control Panel when the 2000NET
Network Interface module is present in the video frame. Each of these
interfaces is described below.

2000NET Module Information

Refer to the 2000NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual for
information on the 2000NET Network Interface module and setting up and
operating the Kameleon 2000 frame network.

Newton Control Panel Configuration

A Newton Control Panel (hard or soft version) can be interfaced to the
Kameleon 2000 Series frame over the local network.

Note For Newton control of this module, the 2000NET module in the frame must

be running software version 4.0.0 or later.

Control panel access offers the following considerations for module config­uration and monitoring:

• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing
the potential for on-air mistakes.

• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca­tions—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate
with user-configured knobs.

• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP
addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.

• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parame­ters, providing the fastest response time.

Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as factory

default recalls. The available control panel controls for the module are listed
in Table 3 on page 13.

An example of the Newton Configurator is shown in Figure 7 on page 17.

16 2031RDA-SM/-MM Instruction Manual

Figure 7. Newton Configurator Example

Configuration and Monitoring

Refer to the documentation that accompanies the Newton Modular Control
System for installation, configuration, and operation information.

Web Browser Interface

The web browser interface provides a graphical representation of module
configuration and monitoring.

Use of the web interface offers the following considerations:

• Provides complete access to all module status and configuration func-

tions, including factory parameter and name default recalls, slot config­uration, and SNMP monitoring controls.

• Web access will require some normal network time delays for pro-

cessing of information.

• Configuration parameter changes may require pressing the

button or
become effective.

• Web interface recommended for setting up module signal and slot

names, and reporting status for SNMP and monitoring.

Refer to the Frame Status page shown in Figure 8 on page 18. The Kame­leon and 2000 modules can be addressed by clicking either on a specific
module icon in the frame status display or on a module name or slot
number in the link list on the left.

Configuration and Monitoring

The following parameter controls are provided on the Settings web page.
Select the

Apply button after each parameter selection.

Input

Select Coax or Fiber as the input to the module.

Mode

Set the reclocking mode to one of the following with the menu pulldown:

•

Bypass – reclocking is completely bypassed. The input signal passes

directly to the outputs without reclocking.

•

Auto – if the module detects the input signal as one of the SMPTE

standard definition rates (143 Mb/s, 177 Mb/s, 270 Mb/s,
360 Mb/s, or 540 Mb/s), it will reclock the signal at that rate. If one
of these rates is not detected, the module will not reclock the signal
(bypass the reclocker) and distribute the signal to the outputs.

•

Auto Reclock – if the module detects the input signal as one of the

SMPTE standard definition rates (143 Mb/s, 177 Mb/s, 270 Mb/s,
360 Mb/s, or 540 Mb/s), it will reclock the signal at that rate. If one
of these rates is not detected, the signal will not be reclocked and
will be passed to the output as is (corrupted).

Note This mode will not reclock/bypass DVB-ASI signals reliably. Use the Auto

mode for these signal types.

• Manual 143Mb – the module will attempt to reclock the input signal
at 143 Mb/s. If this signal rate is not detected, the signal will not be
reclocked and will be passed to the output as is (corrupted).

•

Manual 177Mb – the module will attempt to reclock the input signal

at 177 Mb/s. If this signal rate is not detected, the signal will not be
reclocked and will be passed to the output as is (corrupted).

•

Manual 270Mb – the module will attempt to reclock the input signal

at 270 Mb/s. If this signal rate is not detected, the signal will not be
reclocked and will be passed to the output as is (corrupted).

•

Manual 360Mb – the module will attempt to reclock the input signal

at 360 Mb/s. If this signal rate is not detected, the signal will not be
reclocked and will be passed to the output as is (corrupted).

•

Manual 540Mb – the module will attempt to reclock the input signal

at 540 Mb/s. If this signal rate is not detected, the signal will not be
reclocked and will be passed to the output as is (corrupted).

Status Monitoring

Status Monitoring

This section provides a summary of status monitoring and reporting for a
Kameleon 2000 Series system. It also 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 modules, power supplies, fans and
other status items depending on the method of monitoring being used.

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).

LEDs

• 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).

LEDs on modules in the frame and on the front of the 2000 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 or Frame Monitor module. The LEDs on the front
of these modules can then be read to determine the following fault condi­tions:

• Power Supply 1 and 2 health,

• Fan rotation status,

• Frame over-temperature condition,

• Frame Bus fault (2000NET only), and

• Module health bus.

28 2031RDA-SM/-MM Instruction Manual

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 this module are described in LEDs on page 28. LEDs for the
2000NET module are described in the 2000NET Network Interface Instruction
Manual.

Frame Alarm

Connection and use of the Frame Alarm is covered in detail in the 2000NET
Network Interface Instruction Manual.

Web Browser Interface

Status Monitoring

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

graphical and text formats.

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

status to the module along with enabled options and module versions.

• A Status LED icon on each web page to report communication status

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

In general, 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.

• Grey = Not monitored (older 2000 module).

• White = Not present.

Status reporting for the frame is enabled or disabled with the configuration
DIP switches on the 2000NET module. Most module status reporting items
can be enabled or disabled on individual configuration web pages.

2031RDA-SM/-MM Instruction Manual 29

Status Monitoring

SNMP Reporting

The Kameleon Series system uses the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol
(SNMP) internet standard for reporting status information to remote mon­itoring stations. When SNMP Agent software is installed on the 2000NET
module, enabled status reports are sent to an SNMP Manager such as the
Grass Valley’s NetCentral application.

There are both hardware and software report enable switches for each
report. Both must be enabled for the report to be sent. Software report
switches are set on the 2000NET Configuration page for the Frame, the
2000NET module, and each module slot. Refer to the 2000NET Network

Interface Instruction Manual for installation instructions.
