Power & Status Check
Note:
For Vega 200 & 400 - see Figure 7 and Figure 8.
For Vega 700 - see Figure 9 and Figure 10.
Power
A Vega 100 Series router is supplied with either one or two Power Supply Units (PSUs).
Connect the supplied IEC mains cord to the PSU 1 rear inlet.
If a second PSU is fitted,
connect a second IEC mains cord to the PSU 2 rear inlet.
Connect the IEC cord(s) to a live mains source; the Vega will power up.
Power & Status Check
Front LED Status
Check the status of the front LED indicators after power up.
See Figures 8 (Vega 200 and 400) and Figure 9 (Vega 700).
Check the LEDs are correct for the PSU, Controller (CTL) and Crosspoint (XP) redundancy
router options fitted.
Troubleshooting
If the LED colors displayed are not as shown in the figures, please ensure that:
1. The mains supply is on and the power cord(s) are connected securely.
2. The PSU(s) and cards are all firmly seated.

Network Connection
The Vega 100 Series router is supplied with either one or two controllers, depending on the
redundant options purchased. For the purpose of checking signal routing functionality, it is
only necessary to connect to Controller A.
1. Connect a standard CAT5 cable to port ETH 1 on the rear of the Vega router (see
Figure 11).
2. Connect the other end to your local network or PC.
3. Open a web browser on your PC.
4. Enter the default IP address of Controller A (see Figure 12).
The Vega home page displays.
Browser Login
Vega Controller Default IP Address
Controller A 172.19.39.150
Controller B 172.19.39.151
5. Click on the Connect button at the bottom of the Vega home page to connect
to the Vega router.
Java is required to connect to the Vega router. If Java is not installed on
your PC, click Download on the Vega home page to install Java.
To connect directly to Vega, you will need to set the IP address of your
PC manually.
Ensure the IP address you choose does not conflict with the Vega
default address.
Older PCs may require the use of a crossover CAT5 cable.

Issue 4 Rev 3 Page 14
External Control
Note:
Vega serial and IP ports are set by default to allow external system controllers to be directly
connected, to control the router.
Vega Control Ports Configured Protocol Comment
Serial ports 1-4 SW-P-02 in
IP interface ports SW-P-02 in (IP port 2008)
Video source and destination numbers are as labelled on the router rear panels. Please
refer to the Vega User Manual for audio offsets and mapping of audio inputs and outputs.
Redundant Internal Controller (Controller B if fitted)
If the main internal controller (Controller A) fails, control is automatically transferred to the
redundant internal controller (Controller B).
External Control
Controller B is on the second ethernet port and has default IP address 172.19.39.151.
A RollCall Control Panel will always connect to the active controller. By
default this is Controller A with two functioning internal controllers.
Finally
Once testing has been successfully completed, power off the Vega 100 Series router by
removing the mains leads from the live power source.
The router can now be installed where required. See the Vega 100 Series User Manual for
rack mounting details.
Updating Vega
The software and firmware of both Vega controllers can be updated remotely using the IP
network link (via the SAM RollCall control panel screen).
It is also possible to update the firmware of the input/output cards and the crosspoint
cards.
Please refer to the Vega 100 Series user manual for the recommended update procedure.
