Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800
+ or a 6800+ETH module. During the upgrade procedure, the affected modules are automatically rebooted.
In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, etc.), the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in
“Correcting a Failed Upgrading
.
Upgrading the Firmware
You can upgrade your 6800
+ module’s firmware using the Software
Upgrade tool. This tool is included with CCS Pilot, Co-Pilot, or
Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later.
Caution
The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware upgrades. Use the Software Upgrade tool to upgrade module firmware.
To upgrade your module’s firmware, follow these steps:
1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your CD-ROM.
2. If the affected module has not been discovered, perform the
Discovery operation.
Note
You can find information about discovering modules 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 34 .)

Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure
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 won't 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.
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.

Operating Notes
When setting the control parameters on the XHD6801
+, 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.
• For proper operation, the output HD standard frame rate should match or double the reference standard frame rate.
• The manufacturer recommends that you terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75
connector.

Video Processing Modes
The XHD6801
+ operates in three fundamental video processing modes.
These modes are available in all three XHD6801
+ versions
(XHD6801
+UC, XHD6801+D and XHD6801+UCD).
Note
Some user controls such as input and output video standard, phasing, and LOV may operate differently between the processing modes. Also, there are some requirements on the video format on each of the outputs, and these requirements vary between the processing modes.
Mode 1: Scaled Outputs with Re-clocked Inputs
Reclocked outputs
SDI input
Video frame sync
Scalar and audio / ancillary processor
Program and monitor outputs
Figure 3-1. Scaled Outputs with Re-clocked Inputs
This mode is active when you select Reclock in Video > Output > DA
Output Select.
Four re-clocked outputs of the input video with four scaled outputs are available in this mode. This makes it possible to configure the
XHD6801
+ as a combined four-output DA and a four-output up/cross/ downconverter. The following special features and limitations apply to this video processing mode:
• The input video standard control (Video > Input > SDI Input
Standard Set) applies to the video frame synchronizer only and has no effect on the re-clocked outputs. If the input video format does
XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual
39
Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation not match the input standard control setting or if the input video is lost, both frame synchronizer and the scalar processor will operate in LOV mode.
• The output video standard of the scalar is selectable through the scalar output video standard control (Video > Output > Output
Video Standard Select). However, the video format of the re-clocked outputs is not controllable and is always the same as the input video format.
• The horizontal and vertical phasing controls will apply to both video frame synchronizer and scalar processing as a single block.
The phasing controls (Video > Processing > Synchronizer) have no effect on the re-clocked outputs.
• If the input video format does not match the input standard control setting or if the input video is lost, the program and monitor outputs will either be frozen, undetermined (pass mode), or black— according to the LOV mode setting (Video > Output > Primary
LOV Mode). However, the LOV mode does not apply to re-clocked outputs. The re-clocked outputs will be undetermined if the input video format is not supported, or if the input video is lost.

40 XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
In this mode, there are four frame synchronized outputs of the input video and four scaled outputs available. The scalar processor is located after the video frame synchronizer on the same path. However, putting both the frame synchronizer and the scalar on the same path prevents you from changing the phase relationship between the frame synchronized outputs and the scalar outputs. The following special features and limitations apply to this video processing mode:
• The input video standard control applies to both the video frame synchronizer and the scalar processor (Video > Input > SDI Input
Standard Set). If the input video format does not match the input standard control setting, or if the input video is lost, both the frame synchronizer and the scalar processor will operate in the LOV mode.
• The output format of the scalar is selectable through the scalar output video standard control (Video > Output > Output Video
Standard Select). However, the output video format of the frame synchronized outputs is controlled by the input video standard control.
• The horizontal and vertical phasing will apply to both video frame synchronizer and scalar processing as a single block (Video >
Processing > Synchronizer). In other words, you cannot adjust the phase relationship between the frame synchronizer outputs and the scalar outputs. The scalar outputs will always lag the frame synchronizer outputs by a fixed number of video frames (the amount of propagation delay through the scalar processor).
• If the input video format does not match the input standard control setting or if the input video is lost, the program and monitor outputs will either be frozen, undetermined (pass mode), black, or test pattern—according to the LOV mode setting (Video > Output >
Primary LOV Mode). The frame synchronizer outputs will also either be frozen, undetermined (pass mode), or black.

Q-SEE Compliant Thumbnails
The OP
+TDMR+8 and OP+TDMT+8 modules support Q-SEE compliant thumbnails. To use Q-SEE compliant features, you must install the modules in an FR6822+QXFE frame or an FR6802
+QXF frame that also contains a 6800
+ETH module. When you open a
Control window in CCS Pilot or Navigator for the 6800
+ETH module, all Q-SEE compliant modules provide thumbnails on a Video
Streaming tab. In addition, the OP
+TDMR+8 and OP+TDMT+8 module Control windows have a Streaming tab where a thumbnail is displayed and updated at up to three frames per second.
Q-SEE-compliant thumbnails are available for all inputs, but only one can be viewed at a time.

Changing Parameter Settings
There are two ways to change the parameters that control your module’s operation: CCS software applications and card-edge controls.
Using a web browser or CCS Navigator software, you can view, set, and confirm your module’s parameter settings from your computer’s monitor. Using the card-edge controls, you can set parameters using the module’s rotary hex and navigation switches.
For more information about setting parameters using CCS Navigator or by using the module’s card-edge control, see
Using CCS Software” on page 44 and
Using Card-Edge Controls” on page 45
respectively.
A complete list of XHD6801
+ control parameters can be found in
Chapter 4: “Parameters, LEDs, and Alarms” on page 69
.
Changing Parameters Using CCS Software
Before using CCS Navigator or hardware controls to change your module’s parameter settings, you must discover the module.
Discovering an XHD6801
+ Module

Note
It is recommended that you use the software controls to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values.
Enabling On-Screen Display
You can use the On-screen Display (OSD) monitoring feature to view the current parameter selections on your output display. When the
On-Screen Display parameter is turned on, the current parameter selections are displayed on the module’s SDI Program/Monitor Out 1 and SDI Program/Monitor Out 2 outputs. This features makes configuring the XHD6801
+ using the card-edge controls much easier.
To enable OSD monitoring, select Video > Output > Config >
On-Screen Display. To change the transparency of the OSD, select
Video > Output > Config > OSD Transparency.
OSD can be turned On/Off at the card edge, using Bank 0, Switch 2
(0,2).
Recalling Default Parameter Settings
You can use the module’s Factory Recall parameter to return all of the module’s parameters to factory default settings. To return this module to its default settings, select Other > Factory Default > Yes.
Reading Software and Hardware Versions
You can see the current software and hardware versions of the
XHD6801
+ by checking the Hardware Version and Firmware
Version read-only parameters near the end of the parameter list (see

Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
Aspect Ratio Processing
The XHD6801
+ offers a highly configurable and comprehensive feature set for processing aspect ratio codes and determining ARC settings. ARC control and AFD/WSS/VI code insertion control can track, but can also operate independently from each other. In addition, user-defined mapping makes it possible to have complete control over what ARC and code is inserted for any given input of AFD, WSS, or VI code. The aspect ratio features described here require a 6800+ETH resource module firmware of at least version 4.2.
Enhanced Aspect Ratio Conversion Control
GPI triggers can modify the aspect ratio conversion control for each mode of operation separately. In other words, you can change the ARC for upconversion without affecting the ARC for down- or crossconversion. For example, if the XHD6801
+ is in upconversion mode, the GPI can only change the upconversion ARC setting. This capability makes it possible to control the ARC control for any mode, regardless of which mode is currently active.
A user-selectable ARC setting is provided in the event that AFD, WSS, or VI code disappears. For example, if upconversion is set to follow
AFD, but the AFD data isn't available, the user can choose which ARC to implement in its place.
Enhanced AFD/WSS/VI Insertion
GPI triggers can affect the insertion mode and insert specific codes for
AFD, WSS, and VI. Each control is separate and independent from the other.
Enhanced Monitoring
GPI outputs on the XHD6801
+ can perform the following:
• Monitor for specific input AFD, WSS, and VI codes
• Separately monitor the ARC setting for each conversion mode
• Report the current AFD, WSS, or VI insertion mode in use for a particular type of conversion
XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual
49
Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
Enhanced User ARC Settings
Each user setting includes default AFD, WSS and VI code associated with it. A Live View mode makes it possible to see custom ARC adjustments in real time.
Custom Code Map
With the custom code map, you have the ability to precisely specify the
ARC setting and code insertion for each input AFD, WSS, and VI code, including reserved codes. You can override only the code insertion, the
ARC setting, or both. In addition, you can override specific AFD, WSS, or VI codes and leave the remainder as default.
The map can be used to create custom AFD In to AFD Out mappings, as well as custom translation from any incoming AFD, WSS, and VI to insert any AFD, WSS, and VI code.
GPI triggers make it possible to switch between standard mapping and custom mapping for each conversion mode separately.
Selecting a Standard Aspect Ratio
To select a standard aspect ratio for the output image, set ARC Control
(found at Video > Processing > ARC > ARC Control) to one of the following selections:
• Anamorphic
• 4:3 Pillar Box
• 14:9 Pillar Box
• 16:9 Cut
• 4:3->21:9 Ltr
• 16:9 Letter Box
• 14:9 Letter Box
• 4:3 Cut
• 16:9->21:9 Ltr
• PixelTrue
Pixel True performs no scaling to the input video. Instead, each input pixel is mapped directly to one output pixel. You can use this preset to transport an SD picture embedded inside an HD stream.
50 XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
Selecting a Custom Aspect Ratio
To select a pre-defined custom aspect ratio for the output image, use one of the options found at Other > GPI Input > ARC Control:
• Custom Up ARC1 to Custom Up ARC5
• Custom Down ARC1 to Custom Down ARC5
• Custom Cross ARC1 to Custom Cross ARC5
• Custom SD ARC1 to Custom SD ARC5
Only five options are exposed at one time, based on the mode selected.
Selecting Aspect Ratio Control Following AFD, VI, WSS
An XHD6801
+ module can automatically change the aspect ratio, based on the incoming AFD, WSS, or VI control codes. Set the ARC
Control parameter to one of the following selections (some options are not available, depending upon the selected conversion mode):
• AFD
• AFD - ALTR
• AFD - Custom Map
• VI
• VI - ALTR
• VI - Custom Map
• WSS
• WSS - ALTR
• WSS - Custom Map
The AFD, WSS, and VI selections follow standard ARC recommendations. For instance, selecting AFD causes the module to set the ARC setting according to the incoming AFD code, -ALTR selections use the alternate ARC method, and Custom Map follows the user defined ARC settings for each individual code. See
for more details about custom mapping.
XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual

Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
Setting a Custom Aspect Ratio
You can scale and pan the output image to any size and location by using the various parameters of the custom aspect ratio settings. These parameters include: Horizontal Offset, Vertical Offset, Horizontal
Scale, Vertical Scale, Crop Left, Crop Right, Crop Top, and Crop
Bottom. These parameters can be individually modified, or batch-modified by recalling a standard aspect ratio or a pre-defined custom aspect ratio.
Setting Live Edit View to On will actually make the custom aspect ratio settings take effect immediately on the output. This is useful when trying to visually align the various parameters.
Custom aspect ratios are configured by choosing a custom aspect ratio name from Save ARCs selections.
All of the related controls can be found at Video > Processing > ARC
> Custom ARC.
Active Format Description
Active Format Description (AFD) transmits data in the VANC portion of the SDI signal, enabling both 4:3 and 16:9 television monitors to optimally present video with preset ARC and safe area information.
Without AFD, converted video may appear distorted or “cut off” when it appears on different monitors. The XHD6801
+ can encode or decode
AFD; it can also encode or decode earlier Video Index (VI) and Wide
Screen Signaling (WSS) formats.
The AFD feature of the XHD6801
+ complies with SMPTE 2016 and includes nine possible 4:3 configurations and eight possible configurations in 16:9.
Figure 3-7 on page 58 describes the 4:3 AFD configurations; Figure 3-8 on page 59 describes the 16:9 AFD configurations.
Figure 3-4 shows two comparisons of a signal that is encoded with AFD and without AFD.
AFD/ARC Alignment
When you use AFD to select which aspect ratio to apply, the
XHD6801
+ensures that the AFD codes and associated image will remain in sync. For example, during a hotswitch, the new ARC will only be applied to the new image. There are a few cases which could cause AFD/ARC misalignment:
52 XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
• The ARC applied is reducing the image vertically such that the new image is less than 60% of the original image.
• The output standard is set to either 1080p/23.98 or 1080p/29.97.

+ module. This function is controlled by the AFD Insert, VI Insert, and WSS Insert parameters located in the Video > Processing > ARC > AFD-VI-WSS
Insertion path.
Table 3-3 lists the function of each of the available options (some options are not available in all conversion modes).
You can also remove WSS from the input video stream. To do this, follow: Video > Input > De-embedder > Input WSS Remove
Table 3-3. AFD, VI and WSS Code Insertion
Option
Pass
Remove
Auto
Details
The incoming AFD, VI or WSS code is inserted unmodified.
(This option is only supported in SD-ARC and crossconversion modes. In up- or downconversion modes, the Pass option is equivalent to a loss of code, even when an input code is present. When a loss of code occurs, the module will insert your selection from the AFD Pass on Loss, VI Pass on Loss, or WSS Pass on Loss parameters.)
No code is generated by the module. The original input code is removed, except for the following:
• WSS in line 23
• All codes in proc bypass mode.
The module generates code automatically and inserts it. The code can be generated in one of the following scenarios:
• A standard or custom aspect ratio is selected, and the corresponding AFD, VI, or
WSS code is inserted.
• The ARC Control parameter is set to AFD, AFD-ALTR, VI, VI-ALTR, WSS, or WSS-ALTR, and the generated output code is based on input code according to the alternate implementations of the standard.
• The ARC Control parameter is set to AFD-Custom Map, VI-Custom Map or
WSS - Custom Map, and the output code is generated from the custom map settings.
The output code is generated according to the custom map table.
• Custom AFD Map
• Custom VI Map
• Custom WSS Map

AFD, VI, WSS Based Aspect Ratio Control
When you set the ARC Control parameter to follow the aspect ratio codes (AFD, AFD-ALTR, AFD-Custom Map, VI, VI-ALTR,
VI-Custom Map, WSS, WSS-ALTR, and WSS-Custom Map), the aspect ratio control is based on input AFD, VI, or WSS code.
AFD-Custom Map, VI-Custom Map, and WSS-Custom Map make it possible for you to perform automatic aspect ratio conversions based on the custom defined mapping table. The other options set the ARC to an existing standard. When the input code is missing, the ARC behavior is defined by Loss of AFD ARC, Loss of VI ARC or Loss of WSS
ARC. Only one of these options can be enabled at any one time.
Though they are not widely used, some AFD, VI or WSS codes recommend cropping part of the image. When this type of cropping is enabled, the module will take longer to change ARC modes. To create faster ARC transitions, you can disable the cropping using the AFD
Crop Enable parameter (Video > Processing > ARC > ARC
Control).
When the ARC is based on AFD, VI, or WSS, and the output standard is SD-SDI, you must set the output aspect ratio (either 4:3 or 16:9) to ensure that the correct mapping table is used. (Follow Video >
Processing > ARC > ARC Control > SD Out Aspect Ratio.)
AFD, VI, WSS Custom Mapping Configuration
Using the controls in Video > Processing > ARC > AFD-VI-WSS
Custom Map, you can define a special mapping table other than the one specified by a standard. Given any input AFD, VI or WSS code, you can define the aspect ratio behavior and output AFD, VI and WSS code independently.
Advanced Controls
The de-embedding line controls for VI and WSS are at Video > Input >
De-embedder. The embedding line number controls for AFD, VI, and
WSS are at Video > Output > Embedder.
If you are using VI according to the SMPTE Proposed RP-186+ standard as of January 11, 2007, you must ensure you have enabled the standard by following this path: Video > Output > Embedder > SD
Out VI with AFD (default setting is Yes).
At this time, Bar Data and Pan-Scan for VI and AFD are not supported.

Closed Captioning and DVB Teletext Captioning
Although North America has dedicated standards for closed captioning of video (EIA-608 and 708), many countries in Europe and elsewhere have not yet adopted formal standards. For these countries, closed captioning is part of the DVB Teletext System as described in ITU-R
BT-653-3. These specifications define all Teletext Systems (Systems A,
B, C, D) used in the world and are also known as the World System
Teletext (WST). A Teletext system is made of several pages of various data information and CC data is described in one these pages. System B is used in Australia, the UK, and Germany, among other countries.
Australian closed captions are inserted on line 21/334 in analog PAL broadcast signals, as per the ITU-R BT-653-3. When analog PAL is produced or converted to SDTV (625 digital), a digitized version of the closed captioning appears on line 21/334 (in the same way line 21 on
NTSC signals is digitized and appears on the line 21 of SD-SDI signals). The ITU-R BT-653-3 document proposed by Free TV
Australia indicates how to carry this CC data into the VANC area of
SD-and HD-SDI signals by use of the SMPTE 334M VANC embedding protocol. For digital broadcasting, Australia intends to use the ETSI EN
300 472 standard that specifies the conveyance of ITU-R System B
Teletext in DVB bit streams.
Setting Closed Captioning and Teletext
To make changes to the default CC and Teletext settings, use the Closed
Captioning/Teletext Embed and Closed Captioning/Teletext Embed
Line parameters from the path Video > Output > Embedder path.
To verify the presence of the embedded CC, use the Input Closed
Captioning/Teletext Present parameter (Video > Input >
De-embedder path).
You can use the closed captioning parameters to enable and select the video line in which you want to embed closed captioning data.

Audio Configuration
XHD6801
+ modules process embedded audio. The input embedded audio from SDI 1 is demultiplexed (de-embedded) and synchronized to the video, delayed to match the video processing delay, processed, and then remultiplexed (re-embedded) into HD- and SD-SDI video output.
Up to four groups of audio can be embedded into the video stream.
Audio Controls
XHD6801
+ modules can route audio from one of several sources to the outgoing SDI signal (up to 8 channel pairs can be embedded).
The modules are capable of demultiplexing up to four groups of embedded audio from the primary video SDI stream, and embedding up to four groups into the output SDI stream. XHD6801
+ modules can select up to eight channel pairs of embedded audio.
The Demux Group Present and Demux Channel Pairs Present parameters (Audio > Input > Status > Demux Group Present and
Demux Channel Pairs Present) indicate which groups and channel pairs have audio present in the video inputs.
for more information about audio status parameters.
Audio Routing
Input
To manually configure the audio inputs, you will need to select options in the Audio > Input > Routing section. Set your options in the SRC1 to SRC8 Input Select parameters.
The default settings for the inputs follow this pattern:
• SRC1 Input Select = SDI 1 Group 1 Channel 1/2
• SRC2 Input Select = SDI 1 Group 1 Channel 3/4
• SRC3 Input Select = SDI 1 Group 2 Channel 1/2
• SRC4 Input Select = SDI 1 Group 2 Channel 3/4, etc.

Output
To manually configure the output of the audio, select Enable in Mux
Group 1 Enable to Mux Group 4 Enable. (This is found at Audio >
Output > Embedder > Mux Group 1 Enable to Mux Group 4
Enable.)
Then set your options in the Routing section (Audio > Output >
Routing > Mux Group x Channel x).
The default audio routing settings follow this pattern:
• Mux Group 1 Channel 1 = SRC 1A
• Mux Group 1 Channel 2 = SRC 1B
• Mux Group 2 Channel 1 = SRC 2A
• Mux Group 2 Channel 2 = SRC 2B, etc.
In addition to selecting audio sources from the video groups, four custom tone generators are available, as well as Mute and SMPTE
RP155 and EBU R68 tones. To set the four custom tones, follow the path to Audio > Other > Tones > Tone Generators 1 to 4 Level.
Audio Proc Amp
Gain, bypass, and delay controls are available for the left and right side of each of the processed audio channels. You can individually adjust the gain and delay of the left and right sides of each channel using the control parameters in the Gain and Delay sections (Audio >
Processing > Gain or Delay).
The audio can contain non-PCM audio data. In this case, the sample rate converter must be bypassed to ensure audio integrity. You must individually indicate which sample rate converter or gain to bypass using the SRCx Gain/Bypass parameters (Audio > Input > Bypass >
SRCx Gain/Bypass). Select Manual in the SRC/Gain Bypass Mode to enable these individual controls.
If you set SRC/Gain Bypass Mode to Auto, the audio will be monitored, and if non-PCM audio data is detected, the sample rate converter for that side of the channel will be bypassed.
In addition to the mute controls that control audio pairs individually, a
Master Mute control mutes all of the audio channel pairs (Audio >
Processing > Gain > Master Mute). Also, if the audio source for either side of a given audio channel does not have any incoming audio, the signal will be automatically muted.

The XHD6801
+ module provides four GPI inputs and two GPI outputs for automation. These are open collector style inputs with approximately 10 K
pull-ups to +5V. This means that you can use
contact closure-to-ground switches to control these GPI inputs.
GPI Input
The GPI input actions are controlled by parameters in Video > Other >
GPI Input.
GPI inputs make it possible to control the ARC being used for a particular conversion mode, as well as the AFD, WSS or VI code to be inserted. The read-only GPI Input Status parameter provides current information. All GPI events occur in the order they are triggered and will override older events.
GPI Output
The GPI output actions are controlled in the Video > Other > GPI

Software Communication
Problem
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with
CCS Navigator or the web GUI interface.
Solutions
• Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.
See your 6800
+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification.
• Confirm there is an 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 if these modules may operate with card-edge controls in the 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.
XHD6801
+ Installation and Operation Manual
81
Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting iii. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module, and verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent pins. iv. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact our Customer Support department.
Problem
Figure A-1. Typical Back Module Spring Connector
The IP address of the frame has been forgotten.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
1. Remove the ETH6800
+ module from the frame.
2. Select DIP switch 2 on the ETH6800
+ module and slide the tab to the forward position.
This sets the ETH6800
+ module to its default IP address of
192.168.100.250.

+ DIP Switch
3. Use CCS Navigator or the web browser to interface with the
ETH6800
+ module and then set the desired IP address.
4. Set the DIP switch back to its normal position and then re-insert the module.
Problem
There is no Ethernet connection to the frame.
Solutions
• Verify that the correct IP address is being used. If your are not certain, refer to the above procedure to set to default IP.
• Verify that the ethernet cable is the correct type (a crossover cable is required for direct connection from a PC).
• Verify the Link and Activity (left and right) status LEDS are active on the RJ-45 connector at the rear of the frame.
• Verify the Status LED is lit and green on the ETH6800+ card, as viewed from the front of the frame with the door open.
• Verify that the security settings on the PC allow for connection to a frame (TCP port 80 and UDP ports 4000/4050 must be open).

Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting
• Verify that the PC is configured for and can communicate on the desired subnet.
Problem
CCS software sees the frame, but does not find all of the modules.
Solutions
• Remove any legacy 6800 series products.
• Plug your modules in before starting the discovery.
• Start your discovery after the frame and all modules have fully powered up.
• Refresh the CCS software and ensure that the installed modules are fully powered up first before discovery.
Problem
CCS Software does not respond after it is launched.
Solutions
Close any CCS software that is already launched.
Problem
CCS software shows a module in the Control window, but cannot control it.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
1. Set the module’s Local/Remote jumper to Remote.
2. Ensure the module name in the Control window matches the module type in the frame.
3. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly and powered up.
4. Verify that the Control window indicates the device is ready.

Hardware Communication Problems
Problem
After a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate.
Solution
Follow this procedure:
1. Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure.
2. Close the CCS software, and then restart the PC.
3. Restart the software application.
Problem
The module does not seem to work.
Solutions
• Ensure the correct frame is powered up.
• Verify that all appropriate rear connections are secure.
• Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly. Then verify the Status LED on the module is lit and green.
• Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this procedure: i.
Unplug the front module. ii. Unscrew and remove the back module.
iii. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
Note: Depressed pins are will not affect the functionality of the product.
