Manual EQ
In manual adjust mode a card-edge mounted, multi-turn potentiometer manual EQ adjust is used for adjusting equalization. The Lock and Confidence flag warnings on the card-edge mounted LED indicator can be used to determine the amount of EQ required without external test equipment. If the confidence flag error light is on, more EQ is needed. To increase the amount of EQ, use a screwdriver to turn the manual EQ adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise until the Confidence LED indicator turns off and the Lock
LED indicator turns green.
Automatic EQ
Note: The factory default configurations for J1 is in the “AUTO” position.
In automatic adjust mode, the AES6800
+ automatically sets the amount of cable EQ needed to improve signal quality in case of signal degradation over extended cable lengths.
The EQ is designed for use with up to 2,000 ft (609 m) of Belden 8281 coaxial cable or equivalent, or up to 1,000 ft (304 m) of Belden 8451 twisted pair cable or equivalent.
AES or
Bypass Mode
AES Mode
Note: The factory default configuration is for AES mode.
AES mode is used to allow the distribution amplifier to automatically receive and decode audio data according to AES3 interface standards. It also allows the DA to decode the AES data stream for any error information.
Bypass Mode
Bypass mode is used to allow the distribution amplifier to pass non-AES or non-biphase encoded signals of frequency less than 30 MHz at 50% duty cycle.
Setting the Jumper for the AES Digital Audio Signal
Follow this procedure to set the jumper for the proper AES digital audio signal:

Place a jumper on the pin that corresponds to the mode that you want (see Figure 2-1 on page 8).
Setting DIP Switches
Note: DIP switches are set at the Manufacturing facility to the ALL ON position.
A six-pin DIP switch provides for external frame alarm configuration. The DIP switches allow you to select which errors contained within the biphase encoded data stream (received by the receiver) can trigger a frame alarm. When a DIP switch is in the ON position, any error received from the AES biphase encoded signal will trigger the frame alarm, light the appropriate LED, and light the red frame status LED.
DIP switches must be set to the ON position for the alarms to show up in Navigator.
The DIP switches allow selectable error reporting of these types of errors:
CRC errors
Loss of lock
Validity errors
Confidence errors
Biphase coding errors
Parity errors
To prevent any of the listed errors from triggering the frame alarm, you must set the appropriately labeled DIP switch to the OFF position.

Operation
Overview
Controls for AES6800
on page 10), in addition to parameters that can be monitored in
CCS Navigator or using a NUCLEUS control panel.
This chapter describes how to operate the AES6800
+ using local controls only. See the
CCS™ Navigator™ or NUCLEUS user manuals for information on how to operate this product remotely.
Introducing Parameter Types
Most AES6800
+ parameters are adjustable, and can be set using either card-edge controls
(see
on page 8) 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.
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
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.
Read-Only Parameters
Many of the read-only parameters are also represented by LEDs on the front of the module’s
for the location of these LEDs.

Operating Notes
When setting the control parameters on the AES6800
+, 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 restarted.
When setting the control parameters on the AES6800
+, observe the following:
When the module is set to remote control, the reclocking mode is controlled by the
CCS control software application. When the module powers up with remote selected, the reclocking mode is set to the last known value.
When the module is set to local control, the reclocking mode is controlled by adjusting the card-edge jumper to the appropriate setting. Reclocking mode selections are reflected in the CCS control software application. Any remote attempts to adjust the reclocking mode will have no effect.
If a card-edge jumper is not installed the reclocking mode is set to Auto.

Changing Parameter Settings
You can trigger the master frame alarm from the AES error detection and reporting feature designed into the AES6800
+ distribution amplifier. The error detection feature will report problems contained within the AES data stream, such as CRC, validity, confidence, biphase, parity, and lock.
To “force” the frame alarm on an AES error detection, you must set the corresponding DIP switch (S1) to the “ON” position. DIP switches are marked accordingly.

Troubleshooting
Software Communication Problems
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with
CCS Navigator.
Solutions
Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.
See the installation and operation manual for your frame for more information about slot identification.
Verify whether there is an ICE6800
+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame.
Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame.
CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802
+ frame. Legacy 6800 products do not have the “
+” symbol on their extractor handles.
Check for bent pins on the back module by following this procedure:
i.
Unplug the front module.
ii.
Unscrew and remove the back module.
iii. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module
(
on page 24), and verify that the connector does not have any
slightly bent or pressed pins.
iv. Carefully reposition any bent pins; If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
