Guide to Using Harris Parts List Information

The Harris Replaceable Parts List Index portrays a tree structure with the major items being leftmost in the index. The example below shows the Transmitter as the highest item in the tree structure. If you were to look at the bill of materials table for the Transmitter you would find the Control Cabinet, the PA Cabinet, and the Output Cabinet. In the Replaceable Parts List Index the Control Cabinet, PA Cabinet, and Output Cabinet show up one indentation level below the Transmitter and implies that they are used in the Transmitter. The Controller Board is indented one level below the Control Cabinet so it will show up in the bill of material for the Control Cabinet. The tree structure of this same index is shown to the right of the table and shows indentation level versus tree structure level.

Example of Replaceable Parts List Index and equivalent tree structure:

Replaceable Parts List Index Part Number Page

Table 7-1. Transmitter 994 9283 001 7-2 Table 7-2. Control Cabinet 992 9244 002 7-3 Table 7-3. Controller Board 992 8344 002 7-6 Table 7-4. PA Cabinet 992 9400 002 7-7 Table 7-5. PA Amplifier 994 7894 002 7-9 Table 7-6. PA Amplifier Board 992 7904 002 7-10 Table 7-7. Output Cabinet 992 9450 001 7-12

The part number of the item is shown to the right of the description as is the page in the manual where the bill for that part number starts. Inside the actual tables, four main headings are used:

Control Cabinet 992 9244 002

Controller Board 992 8344 002

Transmitter 994 9283 001

PA Cabinet 992 9400 002

PA Amplifier 992 7894 002

PA Amplifier Board 992 7904 002

Output Cabinet 992 9450 001

• Table #-#. ITEM NAME - HARRIS PART NUMBER - this line gives the information that corresponds to the

• Replaceable Parts List Index entry;

• HARRIS P/N column gives the ten digit Harris part number (usually in ascending order);

• DESCRIPTION column gives a 25 character or less description of the part number;

• REF. SYMBOLS/EXPLANATIONS column 1) gives the reference designators for the item (i.e., C001, R102,

etc.) that corresponds to the number found in the schematics (C001 in a bill of material is equivalent to C1 on the schematic) or 2) gives added information or further explanation (i.e., “Used for 208V operation only,” or “Used for HT 10LS only,” etc.).

Inside the individual tables some standard conventions are used:

• A # symbol in front of a component such as #C001 under the REF. SYMBOLS/EXPLANATIONS column

means that this item is used on or with C001 and is not the actual part number for C001.

• In the ten digit part numbers, if the last three numbers are 000, the item is a part that Harris has purchased and has

not manufactured or modified. If the last three numbers are other than 000, the item is either manufactured by Harris or is purchased from a vendor and modified for use in the Harris product.

• The first three digits of the ten digit part number tell which family the part number belongs to - for example, all

electrolytic (can) capacitors will be in the same family (524 xxxx 000). If an electrolytic (can) capacitor is found to have a 9xx xxxx xxx part number (a number outside of the normal family of numbers), it has probably been modified in some manner at the Harris factory and will therefore show up farther down into the individual parts list (because each table is normally sorted in ascending order). Most Harris made or modified assemblies will have 9xx xxxx xxx numbers associated with them.

The term “SEE HIGHER LEVEL BILL” in the description column implies that the reference designated part number will

show up in a bill that is higher in the tree structure. This is often the case for components that may be frequency determinant or voltage determinant and are called out in a higher level bill structure that is more customer dependent than the bill at a lower level.

Section 1 Introduction

1.2 eCDi™ and the PowerCD™ Transmitter

For the Harris PowerCD Digital UHF Transmitter, the eCDi™ has been modified to include a local GUI touchscreen interface in addition to its normal networking capabilities. In the PowerCD transmitter the eCDi™ is the local transmitter control interface using the attached 12" VGA touchscreen and has been renamed the "Display Unit." This means that the eCDi™ provides both local and remote control for the PowerCD transmitter.

The PowerCD transmitter will have a Display Unit (an eCDi™) in the Driver Cabinet for system control and monitoring and one in each PA cabinet for individual cabinet control and monitoring.

Information in this manual covers the basic setup and operation of the remote networking side of the Display Unit (eCDi™). Operation of the Local GUI screens, mounted on the front of the transmitter Display Units, is covered in the PowerCD Transmitter Operators manual 888-2574-001.

eCDi ™

Also note that the PowerCD Display Unit (eCDi™) is a 2 rack unit high box (standard eCDi™ is 1 rack unit) but uses the same software as all other eCDi™ units.

1.4 Features

Web GUI Interface - The Web GUI interface allows access to transmitter control, status and logging for any of the supported transmitters via a standard web browser interface (Netscape or IE). The only other software required is a Java plugin and it is downloaded from the eCDi™ the first time a computer accesses the unit.

Performance Monitoring - An optional software upgrade provides for performance monitoring of DTV transmitters by networking an embedded version of the CD-EYE™ application.

Common Interface - The Web GUI creates a common display platform for all transmitters. This allows immediate understanding of transmitter control and monitoring regardless of the transmitter model.

Fault Logging - The fault log will hold up to 1000 events, is viewable on-line or can be downloaded to Microsoft Excel or another common spreadsheet program.

eCDi ™

Meter Logging - Meter logging occurs periodically at a customer configured time

interval. The Meter log will hold up to 1000 events and can be downloaded to Microsoft Excel or another common spreadsheet program.

Email Notification - faults and warnings are automatically sent to a customer configured email address.

SNMP Agent - provides for connection to the Harris Broadcast Manager (HBM)or RECON remote control system. It can also be connected, in a limited form, to other non-Harris based SNMP Network Managers. For more information about SNMP connectivity see " Section 6 SNMP Connectivity".

Remote Software Updates and Upgrades - eCDi™ uses In-System Programming (ISP) that allows remote loading of software updates and upgrades. For more information on ISP, see " Section 4 Software Updates".

1.5 eCDi™ Interfaces

eCDi™ allows access to transmitter control and monitoring via the following interfaces:

• Web GUI

• SNMP Agent

• WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) via Cell Phone

1.5.1 Web GUI (Graphical User Interface)

The Web GUI allows broadcasters to control and monitor their transmitter(s) through a standard web browser (Netscape or IE) from anywhere network access is available. This is the standard interface supplied with all eCDi™ units. An example of the Web GUI main screen is shown in Figure 1-4. This main menu structure and layout is basically the same for all transmitters, allowing operators to only have to learn one type of interface for multiple types of transmitters. Actual readings and control buttons available will be determined by the transmitter application. For more information on the Web GUI see " Section 3 Operation".

Section 1 Introduction

1.5.2 SNMP Agent

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Agent in eCDi™ provides network connectivity using the Harris Broadcast Manager (HBM). HBM is a network manager application that allows the centralized control and monitoring of multiple transmitters and sites, but does not come with eCDi™. For more information on SNMP control and the eCDi™, see " Appendix A SigmaCD Fault and Meter Log Reference".

NOTE:

The eCDi can also be accessed by other non-Harris SNMP Network Managers. In this case, the MIB (Management Information Base) is a common MIB that is used by nearly all Harris transmitters. A second “Extended” MIB exists and is exclusively used by the Harris Broadcast Manager.

1.6 Level 1 / Level 2 Functionality

eCDi™ has 2 levels of software functionality that can be used with either the Web GUI or the SNMP connection using the HBM Network Manager:

eCDi ™

a. Level 1 - Transmitter Remote Status Monitoring and Control. This allows

monitoring and control of virtually all transmitter parameters (limited to the information that is available on the serial port of the transmitter). For most of the listed transmitters, if it is available locally at the transmitter, it will be available via the Web GUI. This level of functionality is included on all eCDi™ units.

b. Level 2 (optional upgrade) - Performance Monitoring and Control (only

available for DTV transmitters). This is an integrated form of the CD-EYE, 8VSB monitoring software and is an optional add-on to the base Level 1 software. This allows performance monitoring of DTV transmitters with either CD-1A or APEX exciters. Parameters to be monitored include:

1. Spectral Emissions - Equivalent to a spectrum analyzer plot of the system

output. Used to confirm compliance with FCC DTV emission mask.

2. EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) and SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) mea-

surements and the Eye Diagram.

3. Constellation Diagram - This is an I (symbol) versus Q plot. Can be used to

show amplifier non-linearity.

4. RTAC (Real Time Adaptive Correction) Linear Correction - This plot

shows the gain and phase correction employed for linear distortions (Frequency response and Group delay) versus the frequency across the channel.

5. RTAC Non-Linear Correction (APEX exciter only) - This plot will display

the AM-AM and AM-PM correction employed for non-linear distortions in the amplifier chain.

2.4.1.4 Exciter Connections

APEX Exciters

To connect the eCDi™ to an APEX™ exciter requires a standard ethernet cable (not cross-over) with RJ-45 connectors on each end. Two (2) 50ft ethernet cables labeled EX1 and EX2 have been provided. Connect the exciter(s) to the RJ-45 ports on the back of the eCDi™ labeled EX1 and EX2 in Figure 2-2.

IMPORTANT:

The IP address and Subnet mask must also be set up in the APEX exciter. See

"2.5 APEX Exciter Setup" on page 2-22.

NOTE:

When routing the ethernet cable to the back of the exciter, make sure to follow the cable supports and wiring harness to allow the exciters to be pulled completely out the front to the extent of the rack slides. Cable ties have been provided to secure the cables to prevent damage when the exciter is pulled out for service.

CD-1A Exciters

CD-1A exciters connect to the eCDi™ via serial port. Connect the provided 50ft serial cable labeled “EXCITER” to the serial port labeled “EXCITER” on the eCDi™. Route the cable into the back of the GUI control cabinet in the transmitter. This cable connects to the provided Y adaptor in the transmitter control cabinet. The Y adaptor allows 2 exciters to be connected to the eCDi™ on the same serial port. Connection of the Y adaptor cable depends on the age of the control cabinet. Both types of cabinet are covered on the next page.

NOTE:

The exciters can both be connected to the same serial cable because they only have access to the serial port if they are the active or ON-AIR exciter in the transmitter.

2.4.7 PowerCD™ Digital UHF Transmitter

The “Display Unit” in the PowerCD transmitter is actually a modified eCDi™ which has a local touchscreen interface attached to its front panel.

For information about operating the local touchscreen interface see the “PowerCD Transmitter Operators Manual” 888-2475-001.

The eCDi™ (aka the PowerCD Display Unit) comes pre-installed and configured in the powerCD. However, you will still need to go through the configuration screens to customize the unit for your site. This includes making sure the time and date are correct, adding users and setting passwords, setting Email alert addresses, fault log filters etc...

If you are going to use an SNMP Network Manager program like Recon™ or the Harris Broadcast Manager, you will want to pay close attention to the SNMP configuration screens.

See "2.8 eCDi™ Configuration" on page 2-26 to check and set your configuration. It is important that you check the information in all of the configuration screens to see if it applies to your site.

It is also important to note that the PowerCD transmitter uses one eCDi™ in the Driver cabinet and one in each PA Cabinet. A router, with a 4 port switch, is installed in the Driver cabinet and is factory configured to provide access to all of the eCDi’s in the transmitter using a single internet IP address (using port forwarding). While each eCDi™ could actually be placed directly on a network with its own IP address, the router also provides a firewall at the transmitter site to protect the transmitter. For more information on setting up the router, see the “PowerCD Transmitter Operators Manual” 888-2475-001.

The file is actually just a text file that has all of the eCDi™ configuration settings. The .zip extension was placed on the file so that the browser asks if you want to save the file to disk instead of opening the file. To view the file in a text editor, make a copy of the file and change the extension to ecdi_config.txt.

Changing the original file name is not recommended, since the >>Upload function will only load a file with the default name ecdi_config.zip. To save multiple config files, save each file in a different subdirectory.

Section 3 Operation

3.1 Introduction

This section contains information concerning the use of the Web Browser interface (for all supported Harris transmitters) that is provided with all eCDi™ units. The eCDi™ can be accessed with either Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher or Netscape Navigator 7.0 or higher. A complete list of computer requirements is given in Section 1 of this manual, see "1.9 Remote Computer Requirements" on page 1-7.

NOTE:

The web browser must be Java enabled. The Java plug-in is already installed on eCDi™ and will automatically be downloaded to any computer that connects to the unit (if the plug-in is not already installed). See “"Figure 2-19 Java 2 Runtime Environment Plug-in" on page 2-29. The plug-in must be downloaded and installed before logging in to the eCDi™.

Due to the fact that the screens are different for each individual transmitter, this section will focus on navigation and the common parts of the web browser screens. The details and controls available for each transmitter will necessarily be different, but have more to do with operating knowledge of the transmitter than the interface used to view the information.

For information on connecting an SNMP Network Manager, see " Section 6 SNMP Connectivity".

CAUTION:

OVERALL NETWORK SECURITY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER. INTEGRATION OF THE UNIT SHOULD BE BEHIND THE CUSTOMERS FIREWALL WITH ACCESS THROUGH A VPN (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK).

3.2 Logging In

To log in to the eCDi™, open a browser window and type in the IP address of the eCDi™ unit in the address box.

NOTE:

The network administrator may have assigned a domain name (via a DNS server or a host file) to the eCDi™. This would allow the use of a more user friendly name, such as “ecdi.sitename”, instead of having to remember the IP address. Contact the network administrator to see if this is available.

Once the connection is made the browser window will look like the one in Figure 3-1. Type in your username and password (passwords are case sensitive), as set by the network administrator in the eCDi™ configuration screens, and click Login. For information on adding users, see "2.8 eCDi™ Configuration" on page 2-26, specifically STEP 14, which describes how to add users.

If the login is successful, a browser window similar to the one in Figure 3-2 will open.

3.3 Web Browser Interface

The eCDi™ is basically a web server that extracts information from the transmitter and exciters to which it is connected, organizes the information and serves it out to any computer that has network access to the unit. The web browser control and monitoring interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate. It provides a common look and feel interface for all supported Harris transmitters. This is accomplished through the use of the 5 common diagnostic areas:

a. Drive Chain b. Power Amplifier c. Output d. Power Supplies e. System/Control

All transmitters contain these 5 main areas and all control and monitoring can be categorized under one or more of them. Figure 3-2 shows an example of a main menu screen. The example here is for a SigmaCD (IOT) UHF DTV transmitter.

3.4.1 Logs

The eCDi™ Web GUI has a transmitter/exciter fault log that contains the last 200 faults registered on the system, but it does not allow for archiving, printing, exporting or deleting log entries. The “Logs” portion of the Browser Menu contains 4 separate logging screens that can be used to delete, save, print or export up to 1000 entries. The four logs are:

a. Fault Log b. Meter Log c. System Log d. Connection Log

IMPORTANT:

The Fault, System and Connections Logs update at 5 minute intervals once the window in opened. To get a faster update, close and then re-open the log.

3.4.1.1 Fault Log

The Fault Log is a listing of all faults that have occurred. They are time and date stamped and are sequenced as such. It is important to note that the Fault Log not only shows when the fault occurred, but also indicates the time that the fault went away.

When the Fault Log window, shown in Figure 3-3, is opened, it represents a snapshot of the fault log stored on the eCDi™. It is color coded to show the status of the faults at the time the log is opened (see the legend in Figure 3-3).

• Red = Active Fault

• Yellow = Active Warning

• Black = Inactive Fault

Export to *.csv file icon. While this Fault Log will only show the last 200 faults, the file can be exported to a *.csv (comma separated value) that opens a spreadsheet file with the same information but can contain up to the last 1000 entries.

Print Icon. It will open a new browser window with a print compatible version of the log. Simply use the browser print functions to print the file.

The Meter Log provides a way to take meter readings at regular intervals, based on settings in the Meter Logging section of the eCDi™ configuration screens. These meter readings can then be viewed in graphical format directly in this window or can be exported as a *.csv file where all of the individual readings can be seen in spreadsheet format. Figure 3-5 shows the meter log as it normally opens with Meter selected as “none”. Also note that no meters will be available in the pull down list until they are activated in the Meter Logging configuration screen shown in Figure 3-5.

NOTE:

It is always a good idea to Download the eCDi™ configuration file and save it on a disk or hard drive before making any changes to the eCDi™. This will allow the saved configuration to be Uploaded to return the eCDi™ to its previous operational condition. See "2.8.3 Backing Up the Configuration" on page 2-42.

NOTE:

Keep in mind that these alarms are meant as relative settings and are monitored with sensors less accurate than those used in calibration instruments. In other words, assuming the transmitter system has been measured and is compliant in both respects (SNR and shoulder measurements), and the eCDi™ is showing alarms, the alarm threshold values should be raised until no further alarms occur. These alarms are now relative to a known good signal and will give an alarm if the system degrades.

3.6.3 Performance Meters Screen

The Performance Monitoring Meters screen has 6 buttons to access detailed monitoring of the following:

• EVM / SNR

3.6.3.1 EVM / SNR

Figure 3-22 shows the EVM/SNR Performance Monitoring screen. The eCDi™ acts as a demodulator and it has the same Output EVM and SNR readings that were shown on the Performance Monitoring Summary Screen, with the addition of the Reference and Benchmark readings.

Reference EVM and SNR are the readings from the ideal signal in the exciter. Basically, if these readings are good then the digital circuitry in the exciter is working. An increase in these readings will directly increase the Output EVM and SNR.

BenchMark EVM and SNR represent a saved Output EVM and SNR reading. See BenchMarks below for more information.

3.6.3.2 BenchMarks

Up to 5 BenchMarks can be saved on the eCDi™. Each BenchMark is a Snapshot of all of the performance metering and graphs that can be overlayed on the active graph and shown in the Benchmark readings on the Summary screen. Notice that no BenchMark is selected in Figure 3-22, as both the EVM and SNR read zero in the BenchMark category. BenchMarks can be saved and turned on or off, from the full screen views of

At the bottom of any of the 5 full screen views will be the BenchMark controls, Show and Save, see Figure 3-23. In this example 3 BenchMarks have been saved with 2 still empty. The Show Benchmark screen is active and None is selected. Pressing the Slot 1, Slot 2, or Slot 3 button will select that Benchmark and the appropriate saved waveform will be displayed over the active waveform in the graph located above these controls. The saved Benchmark waveform will be displayed in a different color (light blue) than the active waveform.

NOTE:

Once a Benchmark is turned on, it will show up on every performance monitoring graph until it is turned off by pressing None.

Pressing SAVE will bring up the Save Benchmark controls as shown in Figure 3-24. To save a Benchmark, press one of the 5 buttons labeled Slot 1 - Slot 5. A snapshot is taken of all of the performance metrics and stored with a Time and Date stamp on the button.

NOTE:

Pressing a button with a previously saved Benchmark will automatically overwrite the existing data. It will not ask for confirmation before over-writing.

Use the PURGE ALL button to remove all benchmarks. This function will not ask for confirmation before deleting.

• IPA sample (Lin-IPA) - to correct for Linear IPA distortions

• PA Sample (Non-Linear) - to correct for PA non-linearities

• HPF sample (Lin-HPF) - to correct for linear distortions introduced by the

• Bypass - simply shuts the corrector off.

• Hold - Holds the corrector in its present state. Will not adapt to changes in the system

and is therefore not a recommended mode of operation (there are of course, exceptions).

Section 3 Operation

• Adapt - Normal mode of operation for the correctors. In this mode the correctors are

dynamic and will adapt to changes in the system. The Non-Linear and HPF correctors should almost always be in this mode except for troubleshooting. However, the IPA corrector is not always necessary and is quite often in Bypass mode.

• Default - The 3 correctors are considered a “Filter Set” in the APEX exciter. Default

mode for a corrector can be Bypass, Hold or Adapt depending on the current filter set. The APEX exciter can store up to 4 different filter sets. If the current filter set is stored (or a stored filter set has been recalled), then all 3 correctors will read Default, at least until one or all of them are changed manually. For example, if all 3 correctors are set to Adapt and the filter set is stored in the APEX exciter, then all 3 would read Default even though they are all set to Adapt. This would allow for all green (Default) buttons on this page even if one or more correctors is in bypass or hold. See the APEX exciter manual for more information about storing Filter Sets.

CAUTION:

DEFAULT DOES NOT MEAN FACTORY DEFAULT. CHOOSING THE DEFAULT SETTING FOR A CORRECTOR USING THE ECDI™ MAY SET THE EXCITER INTO AN UNKNOWN MODE SINCE THE OPERATOR DOES NOT KNOW WHICH FILTER SET IS ACTIVE ON THE EXCITER.

Section 4 Software Updates

4.1 Introduction

This section provides instructions necessary to install software updates on the eCDi™. The procedure is very simple but could require 20 minutes or more to upload the new software but only about 2 minutes to upgrade at which time the eCDi™ will be offline.

Please Read before updating Software

Please note that as of software revision 2.6.K (and higher) the fixed eCDi™ configuration port IP address has changed (the ethernet port on the front of the unit). The old address was 192.168.0.254. The new Configuration port IP address as of Revision 2.6.K is:

192.168.217.254 (subnet mask of 255.255.255.0)

If you are using DHCP on the remote computer which is connecting to the eCDi™ then no changes are required to connect. If you are using a fixed IP address to access the eCDi™ then set the IP address of the remote computer to 192.168.217.1 .

For more information see "2.8 eCDi™ Configuration" on page 2-26

If you are connecting to APEX exciters, you will need to change their IP addresses to:

Exciter 1: 192.168.217.200 Exciter 2: 192.168.217.201

For more information on setting IP addresses in the APEX exciter see
