Introduction

FR6822+ Product Description

The 2RU FR6822+ frames accommodate the entire 6800+ line of analog/digital, audio/video products for conversion, distribution, interface, generation, and router applications.

FR6822+ frames provide central genlock distribution, GPI for alarms, 2 types of remote control interfaces, 20-slot capacity, support for multi-standard products (including HD, SD, analog, and fiber optics). There are no cooling limits on multiple frames stacked together. FR6822+ frames are specifically designed to weigh noticeably less than other products. Each feature has been carefully designed to ensure a product that is reliable, dependable, and easy-to-use.

When a 6800+ETH module is installed in a FR6822+ frame, the frame becomes a FR6822+QXFE frame. This frame provides monitoring thumbnails and enhanced alarm monitoring options for compatible modules. To determine whether the modules installed in your frame have these capabilities, see the manuals applicable to those products.An interface to Ethernet via the 6800+ETH allows connectivity with all other Command and Control System (CCS

Backwards Compatibility

FR6822+ frames are designed t o house and power both 6800 and 6800+ modules. Th ough various 6800+ modules have different feat ures and controls, all work in any combination in a FR6822+ frame.

Main

Features

FR6822+ frames have the following main features:

 Work with 6800+ modules and most 6800 modules (using a “6800-style” r ear module)  Configurable to a wide variety of multi-standard audio and video conversion, routing,

generation, and distribution module combinations (HD, SDI, audio, fiber optics)

 2RU frame provides space for 6 triple-s lot modules, 10 double-slot modules, 20

single-slot modules, or a combination of single-, double-, and triple-slot modules

 Provides looping reference input for video genlock, with buffered reference distribution

Control and Monitoring Using a 6800+ETH Module

 Regulates and reports major frame operation and perfor mance data to the control

system

 Provides access to Ethernet for control and monitoring using CCS Navigator or a web

browser

 Provides additional control via SNMP with the 6800+ETHSNMP option  Supports thumbnail transmission at a rate of three frames per second, for all modules

that support this feature within the frame, in CCS Navigator only

Power Supply

 Houses two power supplies for full redundancy and load-sharing  Displays power and fault indicators on front panel  Includes captivated power cord(s) for AC power supplies to prevent accidental

unplugging (note: cords are not provided for the DC power supply configurations)

 Provides choice of 6822+AC for AC power or 6800+48V for DC power; frame can

house two of either power supply or one of each

 Includes a temperature-sensing submodule that provides alarm generation when the

frame is monitored by CCS Navigator

A fan assembly is located in the front panel o f an FR 682 2 + fram e (s ee Figure 1-4). The fa n assembly draws in air from the front of the unit, and expels it through the back.

Figure 1-4 Fan Assembly (Back View of Front Panel) All fans are equipped with RPM monitoring circuitry. Either the standard 6800+RESC

resource module or th e 6800+ETH Ethernet resource module (described in 6800+ETH

Resource Module on page 5) decodes and monitors these signal to determine fan health.

Local and remote alarms report undesirable conditions that may arise. Features of the FR6822+ fan assembly include the following:

 Low fan-noise emissions

6800+ETH

Resource

Module

Each FR6822+ frame can house two redundant, modular, and fully self-contained power supply units (PSU). All FR6822+ frames come with one AC or DC power supply, which can support an entire frame load. An optional redundant AC or DC power supply can be ordered separately. Power supply configurations can be a mix of AC and DC units.

Each PSU is hot-swappable, ensuring no disruption to frame operation. Other features of both power supplies include the following:

 Allows frame monitoring of PSU  Includes power switch on front of PSU unit  Maintains compatible output rails ±6.8 V for 6800 and 6800+ products

The 6822+AC auto-switches 90 to 240 V AC, at 47 to 63 Hz. “Power” and “Fault” indicators are located on the front of the PSU.

The 6800+48V supports a -48 VDC input and provides DC PSU protections including input fuse, inrush current limiting, input transient protection, short circuit protection on all outputs, and reverse input voltage protection. It provides a Power Good green LED and an Overheat red LED.

See Figure 1-2 on page 3 to locate the PSU units in the FR6822+ frame, or

Power Supplies on page 75 for a more detailed description.

If a frame has no resource module, no remote control will be available, and control of the frame’s modules will be at the card edge only.

The 6800+ETH resource card allows communication between 6800+ devices and CCS™ software applications such Navigator™, and provides a communication interface between CCS control panels such as NUCLEUS.

The 6800+ETH module provides 10/100Base-T Ethernet access, while the CCS software application provides a graphical user interface (GUI).

Figure 1-5 is a top-front view of the 6800+ETH module. Descriptions of card-edge

Installing and Removing Resource Modules

Resource modules can be upgraded in the field. To purchase a resource module, contact Customer Service. See Table 2-1 on page 10 for a list of available modules and their part numbers.

Page 29

A FR6822+ frame must contain a resource module for remote control. Without a resource module installed, your frame will supply power to the modules. You will be able to control the modules at the card edge only.

Your frame may have come with one of the following resource modules:

 6800+ETH module for controlling and monitoring modules using a CCS network or

web browser

 6800+ETHSNMP for controlling and monitoring modules using a CCS network, web

browser, or SNMP-based control application

There are no card-edge controls on resource modules.

Installing a Resource Module

1 Pull out the finger-release screws on the right and left sides of the front panel, and then

open it.

2 Slide the new module into the frame. 3 Locate the slot that corresponds resource module on the left side of the frame, beside the

power supply. (See Figure 2-6 on page 16.)

4 Slide the module into the guides on the frame floor.

The module is properly seated when its edge is flush with the guide edge and the extractor handle closes. (See Figure 2-10 on page 19.)

Installing and Removing 6800+ Modules

There are different module and connector types that may require installation:

 Triple-slot back connectors  Double-slot back connectors  Single-slot back connectors  Front modules

Depending on the product type, there are various back connectors, front modules, and frame types that are available, interchangeable, and compatible. For example, module back connectors can come in either triple-slot, double-slot, or single-slot sizes; and certain 680 0+ modules and/or back connectors can be installed in either an FR6822+, FR6802+QXF, FR6802+DM, FR6822+, or 6800/7000 series frame. Check the individual module manual that comes with your product to identify which back connector types work with your module, and which frames are compatible with the module.

Up to 20 front modules connected to single -slot back connectors fit in an FR6822+ frame. Up to 10 front modules can fit in an FR6822+ frame if they are connected to double-slot back connectors (2 spaces are required to accommodate the extra width of the back connector).

Making System Connections

Connecting

to a Power

Source

Depending on the power supply you are connecting to, choose one of the options below:

 AC: A supply of 90 to 240 V AC, 47 to 63 Hz is required for both PSUs. Connect one

end of the power cable to an IEC power connector at the back of the FR6822+ frame. Plug the other cable end into a grounded electrical source. (Repeat this procedure for the redundant power supply using an independent power source.)

Note: Ensure that a different electrical source is used for each power supply. This ensures true power system redundancy.

 DC: A supply of 36 to 72V DC is required for each DC power supply. The DC power

supply connector has two spade terminals. You will need to connect the spade terminals to an appropriate power source connector.

To connect the DC power supply, follow these steps:

a Open the flap that covers the screw connectors on the DC power supply.

Figure 2-14 Open Flap on DC Power Supply

b Connect the positive end of the spade connector to the + screw, and the negative end

to the - screw.

c Tighten the screws in place. d Close the flap cover over the two screws. e Plug the (customer-provided) cable end into a grounded electrical source.

Repeat this procedure for the r edundant power supply us ing an independent power source. A Power switch is located on the front face of each power supply. Before operating the

frame, ensure that both PSUs are turned on to ensure full redundancy.

Making Genlock Connections for Signal Synchronization

The genlock connectors on the FR6822+ frame provide an input path for the genlock signal, and have a loop-through capability. (See Figure 1-3 on page 4 for the location of the genlock loop through.)

To make genlock connections for signal synchronization, connect the reference signal to one of the genlock loop-through BNC connectors on the FR6822+ frame. The other connector can be used to route the reference signal to other locations. Terminate the reference signal at its final routed location.

Chaining

Legacy

Frames

If you have older FR6802+QXF, FR6802+XF, and/or FR6802+DM frames that contain low-end resource modules, you can chain them to an FR6822+QXFE frame to create a communication network.

By chaining three of these older frames to the FR6 822+QXFE frame and connecting them to the Ethernet network, you can monitor and control all four frames and their installed devices.

To create a 6800+ communication control network, follow these steps:

1 Connect one FR6802+XF, FR6802+DM, or FR6822+ frame to a FR6822+QXFE frame by

using a customer-supplied BNC coaxial cable. Connect each end of a BNC cable to the Communication loop through of each frame’s

rear panel. These BNCs have input and output functions.

Figure 2-15 Right Side Rear Panel Connections for FR6822+ Frames

2 Repeat this coaxial cable connection between other FR6802+XF, FR6802+DM, and

FR6802+QXF frames until all frames (up to a maximum of four) are connected to each other.

Note: When connecting frames for control via 6800+ETH, no other frames in the chain should contain a 6800+ETH or an ICE6800+. If they do, the connection will fail.

Figure 2-16 shows a typical system configuration for FR6822+ frames.

See FR6822+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control on page 31 for information on setting up and using the 6800+ETH.

When the serial connection is set up correctly, after you discover or browse to the 6800+ETH module, its host frame will appear as the parent frame, with the other three frames appearing as child frames. You can view the serially connected frames and the modules they contain in CCS Navigator, an HTTP web browser, or a third-party SNMP-based control application (if you have the optional SNMP license installed on the 6800+ETH module).

Connecting the GPI Alarm Relay to a Monitoring System

To send alarm signals from the FR6822+ frame to a control monitoring system, follow these steps:

1 Connect 1 end of a 3-conductor, 18 to 25 gauge cable to the GPI connector at the back of

the frame.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to a customer supplied monitoring panel.

Figure 2-19 shows the GPI alarm relay connector (with a terminal block connector plug),

and describes the pinouts.

FR6822+ Frames

Some modules have a great number of parameters and alarms. If you have control and monitoring software available and the required hardware (FR6822+QXFE frame), it is strongly recommen ded that you use it.

Using

Card-Edge

Controls

Many modules contain controls that include two control switches and a series of LED indicators on the module’s card edge.

The two card-edge switches work together to provide access to all of the parameter banks and control options on the module: the mode select r otary switch and t he navigation toggle switch. Figure 3-2 illustrates the location of these switches.

Figure 3-2 Card-Edge Controls The mode select rotary switch (hex switch) selects the parameter type. Ro ta te th e switch

until you see the number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) that corresponds with the desired parameter. To view hex switch positions and corresponding banks and controls, see the table entitled “Card-Edge Parameter Options” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module.

Introducing

Parameter

Types

Note: Position “0” permits the navigation toggle switch to select a bank.

The navigation toggle switch selects a bank (when the hex switch is set to “0”) and individual parameter values. Follow the markings on the module board (Up and Down) to set a parameter value.

 Toggle the switch Up through the list of banks or to increase the parameter value.  Toggle the switch Down through the list of banks or to decrease the parameter value.

See the section titled “Changing Parameter Settings” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module for more information.

Note: Some 6800+ modules can be used in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Ensure that you follow the Up and Down markings on the module to increase or decrease parameter values, respectively.

Most 6800+ parameters are adjustable and can be set using either card-edge controls (see

Using Card-Edge Controls on page 29) or a software control ap plication. However, some

parameters are considered “read-only” and cannot be changed. These parameters (indicated by the abbreviation “[RO]”) provide status and feedback information only.

Parameter lists may wrap or clip. If the list is set to wrap, it returns to the beginning of its range or options after you have toggled through all of them. Clipping requires you to scroll back through the options to re turn to the beginning of the list.

Page 44

Chapter 3

FR6822+F Frame and Module Operation

Wrapping is only available from the card edge. Parameters that normally wrap when adjusted via the card edge will clip when adjusted using a control software application.

Adjustable Parameters

Two types of adjustable parameters can be changed using the card-edge controls:

 Numerical parameters, which require you to select a value within a numerical range (for

example, between 0 and 524)

 Selectable parameters, which require you to select a specif ic option (for example, 525

or 625)

Both numerical and selectable parameter changes are immediate. Use the available 6800+ software controls (CCS Naviga tor, SNMP-based control appli cation,

or web browser) to view and monitor parameter selections.

Note: See the table titled “Card-Edge Parameter Options” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module to view the various numerical and selectable parameters for the module.

Read-Only Parameters

Many of the read-only parameters have related LEDs on the front of the module’s card edge. See the section “Monitoring LEDs” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module for information on the location of these LEDs.

Operating

Notes

When setting the control parameters, observe the following:

 If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be

affected. See the section “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module for more information.

 When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires

up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

Alarms Alarms are usually logged and monitor ed within available software contr ol applications. You

can only identify alarms and differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application, su ch as CCS Navigator, an HTTP web browser, or a third-party SNMP-based control application (if your 6800+ETH module has the optional license key). See Chapter 4, FR6822+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control for more information.

Page 45

FR6822+QXFE Configuration,

Monitoring, and Control

Overview While a FR6822+ and its installed modules can be controlled at the card edge as described

in Chapter 3, FR6822+F Frame and Module Operation, there are many more control and monitoring options with the addition of a 6800+ETH resource module. These are described in the following sections:

 Using CCS Software with FR6822+QXFE on page 31  Using an HTTP Browser with FR6822+QXFE on page 44  Control and Monitoring FR6822+QXFE Using SNMP on page 60  Basic 6800+ETH Module Operation on page 69

If you will only be using one monitoring system for your 6800+ devices (for example HTTP), you can turn off notification methods for other communi cation pr otocols to r educe network traffic. See Using CCS Software with FR6822+QXFE on page 31 for more information.

Note: Except where noted, the term 6800+ETH is used in this manual to refer to 6800+ETH and 6800+ETHSNMP resource modules.

Using CCS Software with FR6822+QXFE

CCS configuration and control of FR6822+QXFE frames begins with the discovery process. When you enter the IP address of the 6800 +ETH module and run a d iscovery, all modules in theFR6822+QXFE host frame are also discovered.

Note: 6800+ETH requires CCS software version 3.2.1 or higher for full functionality.

Once a 6800+ETH module is discovered in CCS Navigator, you can update its firmware and change its IP address. You can adjust remote control parameters for 6800+ETH and the modules in the host frame. If other modules in the 6800+ETH host frame are Q-SEE compliant, you can view monitoring thumbnails for th ose mo d ule s.

See the following topics for more information:

 Preparing for Configuration on page 32  Discovering Frames and Modules Using a CCS Application on page 32  Monitoring 6800+ Modules in CCS Navigator on page 33  Using Q-SEE Compliant Modules in FR6822+QXFE Frames on page 33

Page 46

Chapter 4

FR6822+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control

Preparing for Configuration

Configuring the 6800+ETH requires the following items:

 A PC connected to a LAN with CCS Navigator, or a Telnet program  At FR6822+QXFE frame installed and connected to the LAN  A standard 100 Mbps 100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet cable segment (use a “crossover”

RJ-45 cable to connect to a PC, or a normal “straight-through” RJ-45 cab le to connect to an Ethernet hub/switch)

Discovering Frames and Modules Using a CCS Application

If your FR6822+QXFE and its associated modules do not appear in the Navigation pane of CCS Navigator, you will need to discover it. You may also run discoveries periodically when you switch, add, or remove modules in the frame.

To run a discovery, follow these steps:

1 In Build mode, point to Tools on the menu bar and then click Discovery.

The Discovery pane appears.

2 Click Options… to open the Discovery Options dialog box. 3 Click Add.

The Add Host dialog box appears.

4 Beside Host IP, enter the IP address of the 6800+ETH module.

Ensure that X75, NEO, 6800+, RCP-CCS-1U, NUCLEUS is checked on the Add Hosts dialog box.

5 Click OK to close the Add Hosts dialog box.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of your 6800+ETH, you can reset it to the default in order to re-establish communication. See Resetting the 6800+ETH IP Address on page 87 for more information.

The default IP address for the 6800+ETH is 192.168.100.250. You can add the default IP address in the Discovery Options dialog by clicking Add Default.

6 Click OK to close the Discovery Options dialog box. 7 Click Start on the Discovery pane’s button bar.

Note: 10 to 20 seconds after turning on the frame, you can ping the 6800+ETH resource module. However, it may take up to 3 or 4 minutes for an 6800+ETH to become available for discovery.

The Discovery tool will ping all IP addresses added to the Discovery Options dialog box, and log the IP addresses and device IDs for all responding CCS-compliant devices in the

Discovery pane’s

Status box.

If discovery is successful, your frame and the modules will appear in the Discovery pane, as in Figure 4-1.

Once you have discovered your FR6822+QXFE frame in CCS Navigator and saved the results of the discovery, the frame and modules will appear in the Navigation pane.

Switch Navigator to Control mode (File > Operational Mode > Control), and then double-click on a module in the Navigation pane to open a Control dialog box. Control dialog boxes provide navigation tools to monitor read-only parameters and adjust control parameters.

The Diagnostics pane, which appears across the bottom of the screen in Control mode, provides alarm information if and when errors appear.

See Volume 1: Chapter 15 of your CCS Navigator User Manual for more information about configuring and controlling 6800+ modules using CCS software.

Using Q-SEE Compliant Modules in FR6822+QXFE Frames

A 6800+ETH module can transmit monitoring thumbnails to Navigator at up to three frames per second for all the Q-SEE compliant modules that are installed in the host FR6822+QXFE frame. In addition, Q-SEE compliant modules have enhanced alarm functionality. See your Navigator documentation for more information.

Not all modules are Q-SEE compliant. To find out if any particular module is compliant, consult our website. Some modules may requir e a firmwar e upgrade for Q-SEE compliance.

Extra System Requirements for Thumbnails

When displaying thumbnails, Navigator’s system requirements may exceed those listed in the manual. For best results, your system should at least meet the following requirements:

 P4 / 3 GHz, dual hyperthreading CPU with 1 GB of RAM

Page 48

Chapter 4

FR6822+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control

Adding Thumbnails Using the Wizard

When you are creating a page with numerous thumbnails on it, the wizard is a useful tool. In addition to predefined configurations, it also provides the opportunity to add all Q-SEE compliant modules from a frame in a single procedure. T o run the wizard, you must be in Build mode.

To create a Graphical Navigation page with Q-SEE compliant thumbnails, follow this procedure:

1 From the main menu, choose File > New.

The New Page wizard appears.

2 Click on the Quality Control tab, and then double click the Multi-Monitor View icon.

The Page Wizard (step 1 of 2) appears.

3 Click Add to open a Device Selection dialog box. 4 Select a 6800+ETH module, and then click OK.

You can only select one item at a time. To add another item, click Add again.

Note: If there are QSEE6800+ modules on your network, you can also add modules connected to them to your Multi-Monitor page.

On the Step 1 of 2 page, you can switch the selected input for a 6800+ETH module by clicking the Input field. This opens a drop-down men u that lists All plus each of the individual inputs.

To add multiple inputs from the same 6800+ETH, select it multiple times in the Device Selection dialog box.

Each input to any particular 6800+ETH module can only be selected once. If, for example, you choose a 6800+ETH module and an input to that module, you will receive an error message. You must remove one of the offending inputs from the list before you can proceed to the Step 2 of 2 page.

5 Click Next>> to proceed to the Step 2 of 2 page. 6 To apply a custom background (this is optional—you can leave it white), click Select to

browse for an image. For best results, your background should be the same size as the viewing area that it will be seen on. Otherwise, it will be cropped or will leave blank areas.

Upgrading Module Firmware Using CCS Software

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800+ modules, including 6800+ETH. See the documentation for your module to determine if its firmware can be upgraded.

With your CCS software in Build mode, follow these steps to upgrade module firmware.

1 Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your

CD-ROM. Upgrade packages come in the form of ZIP files. Y o u do not need to extract the files; this is

done by the software as part of the upgrade process.

Installation and Operation Manual

FR6822+ Frames

2 If the FR6822+QXFE frame and its modules have not been discovered, perform the

Discovery operation. See Discovering Frames and Modules Using a CCS

Application on page 32 for more information.

Note: Information about discovering modules can also be found in your CCS software

application manual or online help. (If you cannot discover the device, see Manually

Adding a Device to the Discovery or Network Folder on page 41.)

3 From the Tools menu, select Software Upgrade.

The Device Selection dialog box appears.

5 Click on a device to upgrade, and then click Apply.

You can select other devices of the same type to receive the same upgrade package, clicking Apply after each device.

The system will not prevent you from adding items that are not of the same device type in this phase of the upgrade procedure. However, when you submit the file transfer task, the procedure will fail when it validates your ZIP file.

6 Click OK to close the Add Device dialog box.

The selected devices appear in the table on the New Transfer tab of the Software Upgrade dialog box. A single row appears for each IP address to receive the upgrade.

If you have multiple 6800+ modules that are at the same IP address (in the same 6800+ frame), all modules at that IP address will appear on the same line.

Normally, 6800+ modules can only upgrade one device per IP address during a single transfer task (i.e., one module per frame). Some packages may state they can upgrade multiple devices per IP address during a single transfer task. This feature is known as “parallel upgrade”. To fully support parallel upgrade, your 6800+ETH module must be version 4.5 or higher, and your Navigator must be 4.7.1 or higher.

7 Before proceeding with the firmware upgrade, you can

 Highlight the module’s position in the Navigation window by clicking Find Device.  View the firmware version currently installed on the module by clicking Version Info.

8 For each device you intend to upgrade, click Device Options.

Upgrading

Procedure

Note: Closing the Software Upgrade dialog box does not effect any transfer processes that may be running in the background. If you try to log off or exit the CCS software while a transfer is underway, a notification dialog box will alert you that processes are still active and will ask if you want to terminate these processes.

16 Click on the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that all files have correctly

updated. Each upgraded module automatically reboots following an upgrade procedure.

In the unlikely event that an upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, etc.), t he upgraded module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. Follow the procedures described in Correcting a Failed

Upgrading Procedure on page 40.

Firmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions, power failures, or if the wrong upgrade package was transferred to the module. These problems can be corrected by upgrading the firmware while the module is in Boot Loader mode. The upgrade will not work unless you put the module in Boot Loader mode.

Note: If you have not already downloaded the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your CD-ROM, do so now.

If the module being upgraded is a 6800+ETH module, see Correcting a Firmware

Upgrade with a 6800+ETH on page 42. Otherwise, follow the steps in Putting the Module in Boot Loader Mode on page 40, and then upgrade your module again.

Putting the Module in Boot Loader Mode

Follow these steps to put your the module in Boot Loader mode:

1 Remove the affected module from the 6800+ frame.

Figure 4-23 Video Streaming Option for QSEE6800+ Module

See the manual for your QSEE6800+ device for more information, including a complete

listing of control parameters.

A preset is like a snapshot of a module’s parameters. You can create a preset from one

module, and then load it onto another module of the same type. (For example, if you have

a frame full of ENC6801+ modules that you want to configure with the same settings, you

could configure one, and then create a preset from that module. You could then load that

preset to each of the other identical modules, applying the same settings.) Presets ar e saved

by the monitoring computer, normally either on a system or network drive, not on the

module itself.

Presets store data for an individual item. You can create an HTTP preset for any single

module or input to the QSEE6800+, but not for a group of modules or an entire frame.

HTTP presets can be read like any other XML document. You can e-mail presets and perform

other normal functions just like any other file.

Creating a Preset

You cannot create presets for multiple modules at the same time, or for the entire contents of a frame. To create a preset using the 6800+ HTTP control interface, follow these steps:

1 Browse to the module for which you want to create a p reset. 2 Open the + beside that module so that the Configuration folder is visible, and then open

the + beside the Configuration folder so that the contents of the Configuration folder are visible.

Figure 4-24 Preset Folders in the 6800+ Control Interface

3 Click Preset in the Configuration folder of the module.

In the main screen, there are two buttons, Load Preset and Save Preset. If your module is a QSEE6800+ module only (not an input to a QSEE6800 +, but the parent

module only) two extra options appear in this pane (see Figure 4-25 on page 57).

 Root Device - Created preset will contain settings for the QSEE6800+ module only,

with no sub-device parameters or settings

 Root and Sub Devices - Created preset will contain settings for the QSEE6800+

module and all sub-devices

4 Click Save Preset.

Depending on your browser configuration, another browser may open. This browser contains the contents of your preset file. A File Download dialog box also appears.

5 Click Save. 6 In the Save As dialog box that appears, either accept the default save location, or use the

browsing tools to choose a new location, and then click Save. By default, your preset file will inherit the name of the frame connected to the 6800+ETH

module followed by the name of the module. Your preset is saved.

the screen.

Upgrading Module Firmware Using an HTTP Browser

You can use the 6800+ HTTP control interface to upgrade the firmware on any module in

the FR6822+QXFE frame, including the 6800+ETH module. Follow these steps: 1 Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your

product CD-ROM.

Upgrade packages come in the form of ZIP files. Y o u do not need to extract the files; this is

done by the software as part of the upgrade process. 2 If your module is ARM core type, put it into Boot Loader mode. (See Putting the Module

in Boot Loader Mode on page 40.)

You can find out whether your module needs to be put in Boot Loader mode before

upgrade by consulting that module’s documentation.

3 Browse to the frame that houses the module(s) you want to upgrade. 4 Click the Upgrade tab.

Control and Monitoring FR6822+QXFE Using SNMP

SNMP is an industry-standard protocol that allows third-party control software to remotely monitor and control devices. You can monitor a host frame through its 6800+ETH module using any standard MIB browsing software.

Page 75

Installation and Operation Manual

FR6822+ Frames

When a 6800+ETH module has optional SNMP, you can monitor the host frame using a

third-party SNMP-based control application such as NuDesign’s Visual MIBrowser

Y ou can configure your 6800+ETH for monitoring and contr ol via SNMP using the following

tools:

 HTTP control interface: You must be logged on as an administrator user. See

Configuring SNMP Settings Using HTTP on page 61.

 CCS Navigator: Y ou must have contr ol and configuration access rights in CCS Navigator

(access rights for control and configurat ion can be set by someon e in the Pilo t, CoPilo t, or Navigator Admin groups). See Configuring SNMP Agent and System Settings on page 64.

Once SNMP is configured, you can further configure your SNMP software to receive

6800+ETH data. See Configuring Third-Party SNMP Software Control on page 66.

To monitor and control your frame and mo dules using SNMP, see Monitoring and Control

Using MIBs on page 68.

Configuring Third-Party SNMP Software Control

Each device to be monitored and controlled via SNMP has a MIB file that defines the controls and traps (alarms) for that device. These MIB files are available for download from our website. There are also two general MIB files (leitch.mib and ccsAlarm.mib) that set up a structure to help define parameters (objects) and alarms (traps).

To set up your 6800+ETH with optional SNMP to communicate with SNMP MIB browsing software, follow these steps:

1 Make the required network connections between the 6800+ETH module(s) and your PC

with installed SNMP browser/control software.

2 Ensure that your 6800+ETH module is configured to send traps to the computer that

contains your MIB browsing software.

3 Load the leitch.mib file (downloadable from our website) into your SNMP browser/control

software.

This MIB sets up the basic structure for product specific MIBs. It can be found under the

Private > Enterprise branch in your MIB browsing software, and sets up the

leitchProducts and leitchCommon sub-branches.

The leitchCommon branch is initially empty. The leitchProducts branch contains three

initially empty sub-folders: LeitchX75, NEO and fam6800plus. 4 Load the ccsAlarm.mib file (also downloadable from our website) into your SNMP browser/

control software.

This MIB adds a ccsAlarms sub-branch to the leitchCommon folder. When it is installed,

you will be able to determine what specific module or frame has triggered an alarm (trap). 5 Load product-specific 6800+ MIB files (available on our website) into your SNMP browser/

control software.

A product-specific MIB provides a clear path to the parameter s and alarms on the device.

MIBs can be downloaded from our website.

6800+ MIBs will appear in the fam6800plus folder under the LeitchProject folder.

Power Supplies

Overview Each FR6822+ frame is equipped with one self-contained 6822+AC power supply unit that

can support an entire frame load. An optional redundant PSU can be ordered separately. If the frame has two PSUs installed, the load is shared equally during normal operation. Each 6822+AC power supply includes a temperature monitoring sensor. The sensor is installed at the output of each power supply’s air flow, and generates alarms when the readout temperature reaches predefined levels.

Installing a Power Supply

Each FR6822+(F or QXFE)48 frame is equipped with one self-contained 6800+48V (DC) power supply unit that can support an entire frame load. An opt ional redu ndant PSU can be ordered separately. If the frame has two PSUs installed, the load is shared equally during normal operation.

Protecting the Power

6822+AC and 6800+48V power supplies are designed to shut down in over-voltage and

over-temperature situations. In both instances, the power supply automatically returns to

normal operation when the conditions that triggered the sh utdown are resolved.

Supply

The over-voltage pr otection (OVP) level is set at 120% ±10% of the nominal output voltage

(13.6 output only). In the case of an OVP condition, the power supply shu ts d own unt il the

condition is resolved.

If the PSU falls outside of the normal operating temperature range of 32°F (0°C) to 113°F

(45°C), it will shut down until the temperature returns to the normal range.

Alarm Signals and Indicators

If the PSU detects an over-voltage, over-current, or over-temperature condition, it sends a

fault signal to a monitoring device (such as a locally connected PC or a GUI-based software

application like Navigator).

On the FR6822+ front panel, the PSU status is communicated via two LED indicators (see

Figure 5-3). A third LED (right) is present on the front panel, but reports only the fan

assembly status.

 A green Power LED (right) indicates that the power supply is operating normally with

no reported fault conditions.

 A red Alarm LED (middle) indicates that a fault condition exists.

Both LEDs are located on the front panel of the FR6822+ frame.

Figure 5-3 Location of PSU Status LEDs

The Alarm LED automatically turns off once the condition that triggered it is resolved.
