2 Operation

2.1 Overview

All of the cards installed in a DENSITÉ frame are internally connected to the frame’s controller card, which handles all
interaction between the cards and the outside world. The controller supports remote operation via its Ethernet ports,
and local operation using its integrated control panel.

2.2 The Local Control Panel

The local control panel is fastened to the front of the CPU-ETH2 controller card, and when installed is located in the
front center of the frame, positioned in front of the power supplies. The panel consists of a display unit capable of
displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five pushbuttons.

The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pushing the SELECT button on the front edge of that card.
Pushing the CONTROLLER button on the control panel selects the Controller card itself. The STATUS LED on the
selected card flashes yellow.

The local control panel displays a menu that can be navigated using the four pushbuttons located beneath the display.
The method of navigating the menu and selecting and modifying parameters is common for all cards. For detailed
information about the menu for a specific card, see its manual. For detailed information about the menu for the
controller card itself, see page 16.

The functionality of the five pushbuttons is as follows:
[CONTROLLER] Selects the controller card for status monitoring and adjustment
[+] [–] Used for menu navigation and value modification
[SEL] Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value is shown, pushing this button once

enables modification of the value using the [+] and [–] buttons; a second push confirms the new
value

[ESC] Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been confirmed; pushing [ESC]

causes the parameter to revert to its former value.

Pushing [ESC] moves the user back up to the previous menu level. At the main menu, [ESC] does

not exit the menu system. To exit, re-push the [SEL] button for the card being controlled.

If no controls are operated for 30 seconds, the controller reverts to its normal standby status, and the selected card’s
STATUS LED reverts to its normal operating mode. The parameter currently being edited will be saved.

completed, the LED will go to steady green unless there are other errors per the above chart.

3 Pr e liminary Configuration

The first step in setting up a new Densité frame and its associated CPU-ETH2 controller to operate in your network is
to configure its IP address to fit into your network structure. This is most easily done by using the onboard menu and
local control panel. Proceed as follows:

1. Obtain the appropriate IP address, Network Mask and Gateway from your IT department, if necessary.

2. Power up the Densité frame.

3. Open the front door to the frame.

4. Push CONTROLLER on the local control panel located in the center of the frame (see section 2.2 on page 2)

5. Using the local control panel, scroll down the menu using the – key until the screen displays ETH1 OPTIONS

6. Push SEL and then – to move to the IP ADDRESS section

7. Enter the IP address, then scroll down to enter the Network Mask and Gateway values.

8. Push ESC until you are back at the main menu, and then push the CONTROLLER button again to exit the menu
system and save your changes.

Note that if you do not use the controller buttons for thirty seconds, the process will time out, so have your data ready
to enter when you start.

4 Local Cont rol Operation

Push the CONTROLLER button on the local control panel to assign that panel to operate the CPU-ETH2 controller.
Use the control panel buttons to navigate through the menu, as described in 2.2 above.

The menu is discussed and displayed beginning on page 16.

5 Remote Control Oper a t ion

This card supports remote operation through two rear-panel 10/100 Base-T ethernet ports, using Miranda’s iControl or
a third-party solution. The command set available for communicating with a DENSITÉ frame permits more complex
and comprehensive control, parameter storage, and field upgrading than is supported by the local control panel.

Miranda’s iControl solution gives access to the settings and adjustments for the CPU-ETH2 controller card in a
Densité frame, and also to these features for all cards installed in the frame. For that reason, the iControl interface is
used as the primary reference to describe the set-up and operation of the CPU-ETH2.

5.1 CPU-ETH2 Web Page

However, the CPU-ETH2 also serves a web page which provides an alternate means of configuring the card. The
web page does not give access to controls for other cards in the frame, however.

The web page is the only point of access for upgrading the CPU-ETH2 firmware – this function is not supported under
iControl, or via the local control panel.

See section on page for instructions on accessing the web page and upgrading the CPU-ETH2 firmware.

5.2 iControl Interface

The operation of the CPU-ETH2 card can be controlled using
Miranda’s iControl system. This manual describes the control
panels associated with the CPU-ETH2 and their use. Please
consult the iControl User’s Guide for information about setting
up and operating iControl.

In iControl Navigator or iControl Websites, double-click on the
icon of the controller to open its control panel.

• CPU-ETH2 controllers are identified as Controller2 in the
Type column of the iControl Navigator window.

• For convenience, enter a descriptive Label in the Info
panel of the card, to make it easy to locate this specific
frame controller amongst those in the list. See page 5.

Redundancy (option)

The Ethernet Link Redundancy option is configured in this panel.

• Note that the option must be purchased and activated
before this feature becomes available. See page 14 for
details.

Mode: enable or disable the link redundancy function
Type: select one of the available bonding modes

• Round Robin

• Active Backup

About Channel Bonding (Ethernet Link Redundancy option)

Channel bonding is an arrangement in which two or more network interfaces on a host computer are combined
for redundancy or increased throughput.

• The Densité CPU-ETH2 Ethernet Link Redundancy option must be enabled to use Channel Bonding.

The Densité CPU-ETH2 supports two bonding modes:
Round-Robin: This mode provides load balancing, fault tolerance and increased throughput. Transmissions

are received and sent out sequentially on each bonded slave interface beginning with the first one available.
This mode requires that the remote equipment (host or switch) be configured to aggregate traffic over several
ports (Trunk, EtherChannel, etc.).

Active-Backup: This mode provides fault tolerance. Transmissions are received and sent out via the first
available bonded slave interface. The other bonded slave interface is only used if the active bonded slave
interface fails. This mode doesn't require any configuration of the remote equipment.

When Channel Bonding is enabled, the two Ethernet interface are seen as one. Therefore Eth 2 settings are
disabled and network settings are changed using Eth 1.

5.3.5 Topic – Data Restoration

Many of the Densité-series cards that can be installed in the frame with the CPU-ETH2 controller are complex and
have a lot of data stored on-board related to their configuration and parameter values. The CPU-ETH2 controller
provides a backup of this data, which can be restored to the card when needed. This is valuable if the card is
inadvertently reconfigured, or is replaced after failure with a new card of the same type. Data restoration is managed
from the Restore Point iControl panel.

Open the Restore Point panel and view the Cards tab.
The tab show a list of the 20 slots available in the Densité frame,

with a checkbox, name, and status box for each.

• Click the checkbox to activate the Data Restore feature
for the card in that slot,

-or-

• Click the Select All box at the top to activate the feature
for all slots in the frame.

Click Save to controller at the bottom to copy all restorable data
from the cards in the selected slots into the memory on board the
CPU-ETH2 controller.

Click Load to cards to load the cards in the selected slots with
data from the controller’s memory.

Note that a data restore will only work if the card in the slot is the
same type as the card that was there when the data was saved.

Automatic restore

The CPU-ETH2 card can be set up to automatically update a
card when it is inserted in a slot previously occupied by a card of
the same type whose data was saved. Thus, a new card can be
configured automatically to replace the card that was removed,
saving a lot of time when cards are swapped.

Open the Config tab in the Restore Point panel.

Click the Restore Settings on Card box to enable the auto
restore function for all the cards in the frame.

5.3.6 Topic – Factory Alignment

There may be times when the CPU-ETH2 settings have been
adjusted and it is useful to restore them to a normalized
condition. The CPU-ETH2 controller maintains a “Factory
Default” alignment in its memory, to which it can be restored at
any time.

Note: Ethernet settings are not included in the Factory data set,
and are not changed when the Factory Default alignment is
installed.

Open the Factory iControl panel.
Click the Load Factory button to restore the card to the Factory

default alignment.

Using the menu

The factory default values can be loaded from the FACTORY
menu item.

The default values are shown underlined in the menu listing
beginning on page 16.

5.3.7 Topic – Time management.

The CPU-ETH2 controller is time-aware, and its internal clock can be updated via several mechanisms.
Open the iControl Time panel.

Time (UTC)

The data boxes in this section display the time and date currently
held in the card.
