Preface
8 8947RDA-D/-FR — Instruction Manual
8947RDA-D/-FR SD/HD Reclocking DA Modules
Introduction
This manual covers installation, configuration, and operation of the
8947RDA-D Dual SD/HD Reclocking DA and the 8947RDA-FR SD/HD
Reclocking Fiber Ready DA, both of which must be installed in a Grass
Valley GeckoFlex frame.
The 8947RDA-D is a dual SD/HD re-clocking distribution amplifier with
automatic format detection. It provides four (in dual mode) to eight (in
single mode) reclocked outputs and can equalize up 125 meters of Belden
1694A cable for HD-SDI. It can be used to distribute either SD-SDI or
HD-SDI making it ideal for mixed format applications or installations
where an upgrade is planned. It requires the 8900WE-R rear module.
The 8947RDA-FR is a fiber-ready reclocking distribution amplifier with
automatic format detection. It provides eight reclocked electrical pouts and
can equalize up to 125 meters of Belden 1694A cable for HD-SDI. In addi
tion, the module supports fiber optic inputs and outputs when an optional
fiber optic SFP device is installed.
-
One of three SFP devices can be used: Dual Transmitter (two fiber optic outputs), Dual Receiver (two fiber optic inputs), or Transceiver (one fiber optic
input and one fiber optic output). It requires the 8900WFR-R rear module.
The modules can also distribute eight non-inverted DVB-ASI outputs
making them ideal for receiving signals from distant downlinks or trans
mitting to remote uplinks.

and Coax input 2 and status management,
• Supports SNMP MIB reporting basic board alarms,
• An optional fiber optic SFP device provides optical input/output interfaces for the 8947RDA-FR. Refer to Tabl e 3 o n pa ge 18 for a list of SFP
devices that can be used with this module.
• Remote control and monitoring support: web pages, Newton control
panel, NetConfig management system.
10 8947RDA-D/-FR — Instruction Manual
Installation
Installation
The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set: 8947RDA-D
front module with the 8900WE-R rear module or the 8947RDA-FR front
fiber-ready module with 8900WFR-R rear module. The optional fiber optic
SFP device used on the 8947RDA-FR is ordered and shipped separately.
The front modules can be plugged in and removed from a GeckoFlex frame
with power on without disrupting operation on adjacent running modules.
When power is applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the initializa
tion process (see Power Up on page 24).
Installation of the 8947RDA module set is a process of:
1. Placing the 8900WE-R or 8900WFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot,
2. Configuring the local onboard settings if not using an 8900NET (Net
Card) (see Local Configuration on page 14),
3. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot, and
-
4. Installing an optional Fiber Optic SFP device in the 8947RDA-FR
module rear cage if being used.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame
Figure 1) to accommodate either audio, analog and digital video modules.
(
The 8947RDA module set may be plugged into any one of the available
GeckoFlex frame slots. It requires a single rear slot.
Figure 1. GeckoFlex Frame
8947RDA-D/-FR — Instruction Manual 11
Installation
Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules and any optional fiber optic SFP device
(8947RDA-FR models only):
• Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up,
before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a
metal part of the frame.
• Install the rear module first, then the front module, then the optional
fiber optic SFP device if being used on the 8947RDA-FR.
• When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the
retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame or use a
2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screwdriver.
Note On newer 751- version GeckoFlex frames, a Rear Retainer Clip removal tool
and 2 extra retainer clips and screws for installing them are provided on the
inside of the frame cover.
• Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily
drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the
screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will
remove it.)
• When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. Do not apply more force than is necessary to seat the
rear module. Refer to the
page 53.
• If using an optional fiber optic SFP device on the 8947RDA-FR fiber
ready module, handle it carefully, use anti-static precautions, and read
the Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 18 before cabling.

Rear Module Installation
8444_23r0
Use retainer clip or
needlenose pliers
to pull out blank after
removing retainer clips
1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already
present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on
the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip
tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (751- model frames
only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver.
Note To remove a rear module already installed, follow the same steps. It is helpful
to first remove the front module so the rear can be pulled out more easily.
1. After loosening the retainer clip screws, pull up on each retainer and
completely remove it, leaving the screws in place.
2. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting the retainer clip tool
or needlenose pliers into the slots in the blank cover and pulling it off
(Figure 2).
3. Insert the rear module into the empty slot, guiding it carefully into
place.
Installation
4. Replace each retainer clip over the two screws on both sides of the
module and push down to seat the retainer clip.
5. Tighten the two screws on each retainer clip just until they come into
contract with the retainer clip then tighten about a 1/4 turn more
(maximum torque is 4-5 inch-lb/0.45-0.6Nm). Do not force or torque
the screws too tightly. The clips should not bend or be bowed.
Note All unused rear slots in a GeckoFlex frame should have a blank rear adapter
cover installed.

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.

Status Monitoring
Status Monitoring
There are a number of ways to monitor frame and module status. These
methods are summarized here. For more detailed information, refer to the
8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Module Instruction Manual and the
8900 Gecko or 8900 GeckoFlex Frame Instruction Manuals.
All modular product documentation is available on-line in PDF format at
this link:
http://www.grassvalley.com/docs/modular
The main status monitoring methods include the following:
• External frame alarm output on the rear of the 8900 frame with
• LEDs on the Frame, 8900NET module, and individual frame media
• Web browser status reporting for each frame component, and
reporting from the Module Health Bus and other frame status alarm
reports,
modules,
• SNMP traps, captured by Grass Valley’s NetCentral or another SNMP
Manager Application.
Note SNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been
installed and configured.
External Frame Alarm
An external Frame Alarm output is available on pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232
connector on the rear of the frame. The Frame Alarm outputs a voltage
level indicating there is an alarm condition on the Module Health Bus or
one of the other frame components reported to the Frame Monitor module
in a Gecko 8900TF or GeckoFlex 8900FF frame or the 8900NET module in
an 8900TFN and GeckoFlex 8900FFN frame.
• The Module Health bus is a separate line on the frame motherboard
that provides a means for older or less capable modules (such as DAs
with no microprocessor) that cannot communicate over the Frame
(serial) bus to report warning and alarm conditions to the external
Frame Alarm. All media modules in the frame report a voltage level to
this line when a warning condition occurs on the module. The specific
warning or module location is not reported, only an indication that an
warning condition has occurred.
• Frame alarm reporting from other frame components can be enabled
and disabled using DIP switches on the Frame Monitor and 8900NET
module. For frames with an 8900NET module, the Frame Alarm
Reporting web page allows configuration of the alarms and warnings
that are reported to this external Frame Health Alarm.
50 8947RDA-D/-FR — Instruction Manual
LED Reporting
LEDs on the front of media modules, the Frame Monitor or 8900NET modules, and the front covers of the 8900TF/TFN and GeckoFlex FF/FFN
frames indicate status of the frame and the installed power supplies, fans
in the front covers, and module status. (The 8900TX-V/A and GeckoFlex
8900FX frames have no LED indicators on the front cover.)
• LED reporting from the modules in the frame to the 8900NET module
is configurable using the 8900NET LED Reporting web page.
• The Status LEDs for this module are described in Operation Indicator
LEDs on page 24. LEDs for the 8900NET module are described in the
8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Instruction Manual.
Web Browser Interface
The 8900NET module controls a web browser GUI that indicates frame and
module status on the following web pages:
Status Monitoring
• Frame Status web page – reports overall frame and module status in
colored graphical and text formats. Refer to Figure 10 on page 28 for an
example.
•Module Status web page (Figure 12 on page 32) – shows specific input
and reference signal configuration error status to the module along
with module status and information (part number, serial number, hardware version, software/firmware/boot versions, and Asset number (as
assigned on the Slot Config web page).
• A Status LED icon on each web page reflects the module status on the
module Status web page where warnings and faults are displayed and
is a link to the module Status web page.
SNMP Reporting
The GeckoFlex 8900 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
8900NET module, enabled status reports are sent to an SNMP Manager
such as the Grass Valley’s NetCentral application.
Status reporting for the frame is enabled or disabled with the configuration
DIP switches on the 8900NET module. Most module status reporting items
can be enabled or disabled on individual configuration web pages.
