(RoHS) Directive
Directive 2002 /95/EC — commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction
on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) — sets limits on the use of certain substances
found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to
reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or
otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive,
which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:
In accordance with this EU Directive, products sold in the European Union will be
fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” Spare parts supplied for the repair and
upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation.

RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure P-1.
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96 /EC on Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and
recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE
Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous
waste to either the producers or users of these products. As of August 13, 2005,
producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at
end of its useful life, and must not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using
other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may have different
deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices
in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled.
Contact your local Sales representative for information on returning these products
for recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a
WEEE-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure P-2.

This chapter describes how to operate the HSD/HSE6800+ using local controls
only. See the following documents for information on how to operate this product
remotely:
+Pilot Lite™ User Manual for serial control interface
CCS™ Navigator™, Pilot™, CoPilot™, or RCP-CCS-1U Remote Control Panel
Installation and Operation Manual for Ethernet control interface
The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
Changing Parameter Settings on page 22
LEDs and Alarms on page 23
Operating Notes on page 19
Setting Locally Accessible Parameters on page 20
Setting Remotely Controlled Parameters on page 21
Understanding Jumper Controls on page 16‘
Understanding Parameter Types on page 19
NOTE: We recommend that you use the available 6800+ software control
options (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and
confirming parameter values.
You can use the jumper on the front edge of the HSE6800+ to select either local
control or remote control reclock setting operation mode. Figure 2-3 on page 13
illustrates the location of this jumper. Figure 3-1 shows the jumper set settings for
the HSE6800+ modules.
Figure 3-1 HSE6800+ Jumper Set Settings
Local Control
NOTE: In the local control reclock setting operation mode, all of the
settings’ data status information appears on the +Pilot Lite control screen;
however, you cannot change any setting in this mode via +Pilot Lite. To
control the reclocking setting mode via +Pilot Lite, set the jumper to the
remote control reclock setting operation mode.
The local control is used to select one of three reclocking setting modes by a
jumper at the board edge: automatic, manual, and bypass.
The automatic reclocking setting mode automatically reclocks the input signal.
The RCLK LED is green and the corresponding rate indicator LED (yellow) is on
when this reclock is successful. If this reclocking attempt fails, the RCLK LED
will be red and the signal bypass the reclocker and is present at outputs.
The manual reclocking setting mode allows you to select which rate to reclock.
(See Table 3-1 for instructions on setting up the operation for reclocking each
rate.)
The bypass mode allows you to force the input data to take the bypass path,
ASI
(see Figure 3-1 on page 16 for a picture of the jumper
set settings)
Remote Control
When the jumper is set to the “remote” position, the reclocker setting is handled
by +Pilot Lite only. You may select the three setting modes (automatic, manual,
and bypass) remotely via +Pilot Lite.
Set the jumper on the pin that allows the reclocker to
handle ASI data only
If the reclocking is successful, the RCLK LED will be
green and the 270 Mb/s LED will be yellow
If the reclocking is not successful, the RCLK LED will
be red, the 270 Mb/s LED will be off, and
un-reclocked data will be present at output
Most HSD/HSE6800+ parameters are adjustable, and can be set using either
card-edge controls (see Understanding Jumper Controls on page 16) or a
software application. However, there are some parameters that are considered
“read-only” and cannot be changed. Indicated by the abbreviation “[RO],” these
parameters provide status and feedback information only.
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
Selectable parameters—which require you to select a specific option
Both numerical and selectable parameter changes are immediate.
Use the available 6800+ software controls (serial/local or Ethernet/remote
network) to view and monitor parameter selections.
Many of the read-only parameters are also represented by LEDs on the front of the
module’s card edge. See Figure 1-1 on page 3 and Figure 1-2 on page 3 for the
location of these LEDs.
Operating
Notes
When setting the control parameters on the HSD/HSE6800+, observe the
following:
When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module
requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new
settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be
NOTE: To use remotely controlled parameters, make sure that the jumper
setting is set to REMOTE. (see Figure 3-1 on page 16 for a picture of the
jumper set settings).
Table 3-3 describes HSE6800+ parameters that are accessible remotely. See your
CCS control software application manual or online help for more information on
setting and monitoring the following parameters remotely.
You can change HSD/HSE6800+ parameter settings locally with the card-edge
jumper or remotely by selecting the Reclocking Mode parameter setting.
You can change module parameter settings remotely via CCS software. See your
CCS control software application installation and operation manual for instructions
on how to change parameter settings.
You cannot recall default parameter settings for these modules.
The current software version of these modules can only be viewed using a
CCS-enabled control panel or a CCS software application. See the appropriate
control panel installation and operation manual, CCS software application user
manual, or CCS software application online help for information on viewing
software and hardware version numbers.
HSD/HSE6800+ modules have alarm and other information-type LEDs that report
alarm conditions or regular working status for the module. Alarm and other
information-type LEDs are available locally (via card edge). Remote alarm and
working status reporting is done via software.
Alarms are usually logged and monitored within the available 6800+ software
control applications (for example, +Pilot Lite or Pilot). See the appropriate software
control user manual or online help for more information.
Each HSD/HSE6800+ module has a module status LED that reports the state of the
module. See Figure 1-1 on page 3 for the location of this LED on the HSD6800+;
see Figure 1-2 on page 3 for the location of this LED on the HSE6800+. See
Table 3-4 for a definition of the LED colors.
