Note

KAM-DEC-2AES Instruction Manual 7

KAM-DEC-2AES operation requires 2000NET Network Interface Module
hardware revision 01A1 or greater with software version 3.2.2 or greater.
Systems installed in the 2000T3N frame require the 2000FAN fan sled (refer
to Figure 3 on page 11).

Installation

Installation

1.

To install the Kameleon modules, perform the following steps:

2.

All Kameleon modules can be inserted and removed from a 2000 Series
Kameleon Frame with power on.

Place the KAM-AES-R passive rear module in a rear frame slot and
tighten the screws on each side of the rear module.

Cable the signal ports.

Note

Remove the front processing module before removing the rear I/O module.

System Requirements

For proper operation of the KAM-DEC-2AES modules, the frame must be
a 2000T1DNG or 2000T3NG which include the following components:

• 2000NET module (software version 3.2.2 or later recommended for full
functionality)

• 2000GEN module

•Dual 130W power supplies in the 2000T1DNG frame

• Single 240W power supply and 2000FAN in the 2000T3NG frame

Frame Capacity

The 1 RU 2000T1DNG (with dual 130W power supplies, 2000NET and
2000GEN modules) frames have no Kameleon module capacity limitations.

The 3 RU 2000T3NG (single 240W p/s, 2000FAN, 2000NET and 2000GEN
modules) frame can be fully populated with Kameleon modules when the
2000FAN fan sled and two power sleds are installed.

Table 1 provides the maximum Kameleon module count for frame types.

Module Placement in the 2000T3NG Kameleon Frame

There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a 3 RU frame to
accommodate 2000 and Kameleon Series media modules (audio/video
signal handling modules). The Kameleon media modules consist of a
two-module set with a front processing media module and a passive rear
module that can be plugged into any of the 12 frame slot pairs. The rear
modules provide the input and output interface connectors.

Installing the Front and Rear Modules

To install a KAM-DEC-2AES module set in the 2000 Series frame:

Locate a vacant slot in the rear of the 3 RU frame (Figure 1).

Note

The yellow COMM and CONF LEDs are used for the module location function
that is enabled using the 2000NET GUI. The module location function causes
these LEDs to repeatedly flash concurrently three times followed by an off
state of 900 ms duration (see Slot Configuration on page 58).

Configuration and Adjustments

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

•Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing

•Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca-

•Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP

•Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parame-

with user-configured knobs.

ters, providing the fastest response time.

Note

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

Figure 7. Newton Configurator Example

Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as E-MEM
and factory default recalls. The available control panel controls for the
module are listed in Table 3 on page 15.

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 func­tions, including naming of inputs and outputs, factory parameter and
name default recalls, E-MEM functions, slot configuration, and SNMP
monitoring controls.

•Web access will require some normal network time delays for pro­cessing of information.

Configuration and Adjustments

•Configuration parameter changes may require pressing the
button or
become effective.

•Web interface recommended for setting up module signal and slot
names, E-MEMS, and reporting status for SNMP and monitoring.

Refer to the Frame Status page shown in Figure 8 on page 20. 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.

Initial Configuration Process Overview

Variables:

•Model and Description are read-only generated by the module.

• Frame Location is entered in 2000 Series Kameleon Frame configura­tion.

• Slot number reports the module’s location in the frame.

• Last Recalled E-MEM reports the last E-MEM configuration recalled
from the module.

Initial Configuration Process Overview

To configure the Kameleon module proceed as follows:

1. Go to the I/O Config web page to setup and name inputs and outputs.

2. If not already connected, connect all input and output signals. Go to the
