Installing the Frame in a Rack

The FR6822

+ frame is designed to mount into a standard-width 19-in. (483-mm) rack and occupies a vertical space of 2RU.

Frames are secured to the rack with standard front-mounting ears built into the chassis.

Ensure you have provided adequate space behind the mounting ears, and appropriate clearance for the connecting cables at the rear of the frame.

Attaching Optional Rear-Support Brackets

During normal operation, the frame’s front mounting ears provide sufficient support for the frame. However, in some circumstances, the front mounting ears may not be sufficient to support the entire weight of the frame and the cables attached to it. These circumstances may include:



When using heavy breakout cables

Where the frame is exposed to motion

In order to protect the frame and the modules installed within it, you may choose to add rear brackets to the frame.

Note: For mobile deployment of frames, rear mounting brackets are mandatory.

Installation

Making System Connections

Connecting to a Power

Source

Depending on the power supply you are connecting to, choose one of the options below:



AC: A supply of 90 to 240 V AC, 47 to 63 Hz is required for both PSUs. Connect one end of the power cable to an IEC power connector at the back of the FR6822

+ frame.

Plug the other cable end into a grounded electrical source. (Repeat this procedure for the redundant power supply using an independent power source.)

Note: Ensure that a different electrical source is used for each power supply. This ensures true power system redundancy.



DC: A supply of 36 to 72V DC is required for each DC power supply. The DC power supply connector has two spade terminals. You will need to connect the spade terminals to an appropriate power source connector.

To connect the DC power supply, follow these steps:

Open the flap that covers the screw connectors on the DC power supply.

Figure 2-14 Open Flap on DC Power Supply

Connect the positive end of the spade connector to the + screw, and the negative end to the - screw.

Tighten the screws in place.

Close the flap cover over the two screws.

Plug the (customer-provided) cable end into a grounded electrical source.

Repeat this procedure for the redundant power supply using an independent power source.

A Power switch is located on the front face of each power supply. Before operating the frame, ensure that both PSUs are turned on to ensure full redundancy.

Making Genlock Connections for Signal Synchronization

The genlock connectors on the FR6822

+ frame provide an input path for the genlock signal, and have a loop-through capability. (See

Figure 1-3

on page 4 for the location of

the genlock loop through.)

To make genlock connections for signal synchronization, connect the reference signal to one of the genlock loop-through BNC connectors on the FR6822

+ frame. The other connector can be used to route the reference signal to other locations. Terminate the reference signal at its final routed location.

Chaining

Legacy

Frames

If you have older FR6802

+QXF, FR6802+XF, and/or FR6802+DM frames that contain low-end resource modules, you can chain them to an FR6822

+QXFE frame to create a communication network.

By chaining three of these older frames to the FR6822

+QXFE frame and connecting them to the Ethernet network, you can monitor and control all four frames and their installed devices.

To create a 6800

+ communication control network, follow these steps:

Connect one FR6802

+XF, FR6802+DM, or FR6822+ frame to a FR6822+QXFE frame by using a customer-supplied BNC coaxial cable.

Modules

All 6800

+ modules can be operated and monitored using card-edge controls. Modules can also be monitored and controlled using a remote PC via an Ethernet connection if they are installed in a FR6822

+QXFE frame. Certain 6800/7000 series modules that may be housed in an FR6822

+ frame offer the same local operation choices, although they cannot be monitored remotely.

Each module has a different set of operating parameters and controls. See the individual product manual that accompanies your module for operating details.

Some modules have an On Screen Display (OSD) feature which allows you to view the parameters on a monitor while you adjust them. See the manual for each individual product for information on configuring OSD.

FR6822

+ Frames

Installation and Operation Manual

Some modules have a great number of parameters and alarms. If you have control and monitoring software available and the required hardware (FR6822

+QXFE frame), it is strongly recommended that you use it.

Using

Card-Edge

Controls

Many modules contain controls that include two control switches and a series of LED indicators on the module’s card edge.

The two card-edge switches work together to provide access to all of the parameter banks and control options on the module: the mode select rotary switch and the navigation toggle switch.

Figure 3-2

illustrates the location of these switches.

Mode select rotary

(hex) switch

Navigation toggle switch

Figure 3-2 Card-Edge Controls

The mode select rotary switch (hex switch) selects the parameter type. Rotate the switch until you see the number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) that corresponds with the desired parameter. To view hex switch positions and corresponding banks and controls, see the table entitled “Card-Edge Parameter Options” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module.

Note: Position “0” permits the navigation toggle switch to select a bank.

The navigation toggle switch selects a bank (when the hex switch is set to “0”) and individual parameter values. Follow the markings on the module board (Up and Down) to set a parameter value.



Toggle the switch Up through the list of banks or to increase the parameter value.



Toggle the switch Down through the list of banks or to decrease the parameter value.

See the section titled “Changing Parameter Settings” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module for more information.

Note: Some 6800

+ modules can be used in both horizontal and vertical configurations.

Ensure that you follow the Up and Down markings on the module to increase or decrease parameter values, respectively.

Introducing

Parameter

Types

Most 6800

+ parameters are adjustable and can be set using either card-edge controls (see

Using Card-Edge Controls

on page 29) or a software control application. However, some

parameters are considered “read-only” and cannot be changed. These parameters

(indicated by the abbreviation “[RO]”) provide status and feedback information only.

Parameter lists may wrap or clip. If the list is set to wrap, it returns to the beginning of its range or options after you have toggled through all of them. Clipping requires you to scroll back through the options to return to the beginning of the list.

Chapter 3

FR6822

+F Frame and Module Operation

Wrapping is only available from the card edge. Parameters that normally wrap when adjusted via the card edge will clip when adjusted using a control software application.

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 (for example, between 0 and 524)



Selectable parameters, which require you to select a specific option (for example, 525 or 625)

Both numerical and selectable parameter changes are immediate.

Use the available 6800

+ software controls (CCS Navigator, SNMP-based control application, or web browser) to view and monitor parameter selections.

Note: See the table titled “Card-Edge Parameter Options” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module to view the various numerical and selectable parameters for the module.

Read-Only Parameters

Many of the read-only parameters have related LEDs on the front of the module’s card edge. See the section “Monitoring LEDs” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module for information on the location of these LEDs.

Operating

Notes

When setting the control parameters, observe the following:



If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected. See the section “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” in the individual product manual that accompanies your module for more information.

When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

Alarms

Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications. You can only identify alarms and differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application, such as CCS Navigator, an HTTP web browser, or a third-party

SNMP-based control application (if your 6800

+ETH module has the optional license key).

See

Chapter 4, FR6822+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control

for more information.

FR6822

+QXFE Configuration,

Monitoring, and Control

Overview

While a FR6822

+ and its installed modules can be controlled at the card edge as described

Chapter 3, FR6822+F Frame and Module Operation

, there are many more control and monitoring options with the addition of a 6800

+ETH resource module. These are described in the following sections:



Using CCS Software with FR6822+QXFE

on page 44

Control and Monitoring FR6822+QXFE Using SNMP

on page 60



Basic 6800+ETH Module Operation

on page 69

If you will only be using one monitoring system for your 6800

+ devices (for example HTTP), you can turn off notification methods for other communication protocols to reduce network traffic. See

Using CCS Software with FR6822+QXFE

on page 31 for more information.

Note: Except where noted, the term 6800

+ETH is used in this manual to refer to 6800+ETH

and 6800

+ETHSNMP resource modules.

Using CCS Software with FR6822

+QXFE

CCS configuration and control of FR6822

+QXFE frames begins with the discovery process.

When you enter the IP address of the 6800

+ETH module and run a discovery, all modules in theFR6822

+QXFE host frame are also discovered.

Note: 6800

+ETH requires CCS software version 3.2.1 or higher for full functionality.

Once a 6800

+ETH module is discovered in CCS Navigator, you can update its firmware and change its IP address. You can adjust remote control parameters for 6800

+ETH and the modules in the host frame. If other modules in the 6800

+ETH host frame are Q-SEE compliant, you can view monitoring thumbnails for those modules.

Preparing for Configuration

Configuring the 6800

+ETH requires the following items:



A PC connected to a LAN with CCS Navigator, or a Telnet program

At FR6822

+QXFE frame installed and connected to the LAN

A standard 100 Mbps 100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet cable segment (use a “crossover”

RJ-45 cable to connect to a PC, or a normal “straight-through” RJ-45 cable to connect to an Ethernet hub/switch)

Discovering Frames and Modules Using a CCS Application

If your FR6822

+QXFE and its associated modules do not appear in the Navigation pane of

CCS Navigator, you will need to discover it. You may also run discoveries periodically when you switch, add, or remove modules in the frame.

To run a discovery, follow these steps:

In Build mode, point to Tools on the menu bar and then click Discovery.

The Discovery pane appears.

Click Options… to open the Discovery Options dialog box.

Click Add.

The Add Host dialog box appears.

Beside Host IP, enter the IP address of the 6800

+ETH module.

Ensure that X75, NEO, 6800

+, RCP-CCS-1U, NUCLEUS is checked on the Add Hosts dialog box.

Click OK to close the Add Hosts dialog box.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of your 6800

+ETH, you can reset it to the default

in order to re-establish communication. See

Resetting the 6800+ETH IP Address

on page 87 for more information.

The default IP address for the 6800

+ETH is 192.168.100.250. You can add the default IP

address in the Discovery Options dialog by clicking Add Default.

Click OK to close the Discovery Options dialog box.

Click Start on the Discovery pane’s button bar.

Note: 10 to 20 seconds after turning on the frame, you can ping the 6800

+ETH resource

module. However, it may take up to 3 or 4 minutes for an 6800

+ETH to become available

for discovery.

The Discovery tool will ping all IP addresses added to the Discovery Options dialog box, and log the IP addresses and device IDs for all responding CCS-compliant devices in the

Discovery pane’s Status box.

If discovery is successful, your frame and the modules will appear in the Discovery pane, as in

Figure 4-1

Upgrading Module Firmware Using CCS Software

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800

+ modules, including 6800+ETH. See the documentation for your module to determine if its firmware can be upgraded.

With your CCS software in Build mode, follow these steps to upgrade module firmware.

Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your

CD-ROM.

Upgrade packages come in the form of ZIP files. You do not need to extract the files; this is done by the software as part of the upgrade process.

If the FR6822

+QXFE frame and its modules have not been discovered, perform the

Discovery operation. See

Discovering Frames and Modules Using a CCS

Application

on page 32 for more information.

Note: Information about discovering modules can also be found 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 41.)

From the Tools menu, select Software Upgrade.

On the New Transfer tab, click Add.

The Device Selection dialog box appears.

Click on a device to upgrade, and then click Apply.

You can select other devices of the same type to receive the same upgrade package, clicking Apply after each device.

The system will not prevent you from adding items that are not of the same device type in this phase of the upgrade procedure. However, when you submit the file transfer task, the procedure will fail when it validates your ZIP file.

Click OK to close the Add Device dialog box.

The selected devices appear in the table on the New Transfer tab of the Software

Upgrade dialog box. A single row appears for each IP address to receive the upgrade.

If you have multiple 6800

+ modules that are at the same IP address (in the same 6800+ frame), all modules at that IP address will appear on the same line.

Normally, 6800

+ modules can only upgrade one device per IP address during a single transfer task (i.e., one module per frame). Some packages may state they can upgrade multiple devices per IP address during a single transfer task. This feature is known as

“parallel upgrade”. To fully support parallel upgrade, your 6800

+ETH module must be version 4.5 or higher, and your Navigator must be 4.7.1 or higher.

Before proceeding with the firmware upgrade, you can

Using

Presets With

A preset is like a snapshot of a module’s parameters. You can create a preset from one module, and then load it onto another module of the same type. (For example, if you have a frame full of ENC6801

+ modules that you want to configure with the same settings, you could configure one, and then create a preset from that module. You could then load that preset to each of the other identical modules, applying the same settings.) Presets are saved by the monitoring computer, normally either on a system or network drive, not on the module itself.

Presets store data for an individual item. You can create an HTTP preset for any single module or input to the QSEE6800

+, but not for a group of modules or an entire frame.

HTTP presets can be read like any other XML document. You can e-mail presets and perform other normal functions just like any other file.

Chapter 4

FR6822

+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control

Power Supplies

Overview

Each FR6822

+ frame is equipped with one self-contained 6822+AC power supply unit that can support an entire frame load. An optional redundant PSU can be ordered separately. If the frame has two PSUs installed, the load is shared equally during normal operation. Each

6822

+AC power supply includes a temperature monitoring sensor. The sensor is installed at the output of each power supply’s air flow, and generates alarms when the readout temperature reaches predefined levels.

Each FR6822

+(F or QXFE)48 frame is equipped with one self-contained 6800+48V (DC) power supply unit that can support an entire frame load. An optional redundant PSU can be ordered separately. If the frame has two PSUs installed, the load is shared equally during normal operation.

Installation and Operation Manual

Protecting the Power

Supply

6822

+AC and 6800+48V power supplies are designed to shut down in over-voltage and over-temperature situations. In both instances, the power supply automatically returns to normal operation when the conditions that triggered the shutdown are resolved.

The over-voltage protection (OVP) level is set at 120% ±10% of the nominal output voltage

(13.6 output only). In the case of an OVP condition, the power supply shuts down until the condition is resolved.

If the PSU falls outside of the normal operating temperature range of 32°F (0°C) to 113°F

(45°C), it will shut down until the temperature returns to the normal range.

Alarm Signals and Indicators

If the PSU detects an over-voltage, over-current, or over-temperature condition, it sends a fault signal to a monitoring device (such as a locally connected PC or a GUI-based software application like Navigator).

On the FR6822

+ front panel, the PSU status is communicated via two LED indicators (see

Figure 5-3

). A third LED (right) is present on the front panel, but reports only the fan assembly status.



A green Power LED (right) indicates that the power supply is operating normally with no reported fault conditions.



A red Alarm LED (middle) indicates that a fault condition exists.

Both LEDs are located on the front panel of the FR6822

+ frame.

PSU status LEDs: Alarm/Power

Troubleshooting

Ethernet Network or FR6822+QXFE Frame Failure

Before contacting a Customer Service representative to resolve a technical issue, do the following:

Ensure the 6800

+ETH module is connected with the proper Ethernet cable.

Use a normal cable for connecting to a hub or switch; use a crossover cable for a direct connection to a PC.

Ensure that the coaxial loop is properly terminated with a 75

 BNC terminator on connected frames.

Discovering, Controlling, and Monitoring Devices

If Navigator does not discover some or all 6800

+ devices, ensure the following:



The PC is a single processor

IP address settings for the PC and the 6800

+ETH module are on the same subnet (the IP addresses are all within a similar range; for example, 192.168.100.250 and

192.168.100.245)

The FR6822

+QXFE frame is turned on last and is given 3 to 4 minutes to initialize



All front modules are securely plugged in (including the resource module on the left side of the frame) and all back modules are installed and seated correctly



All front modules match the corresponding back connectors



All 6800 series modules are compatible (see

Using 6800 Series Modules in FR6822

Frames

on page 89)

For specific troubleshooting tips on discovering the 6800

+ETH module, see

Pinging an

Installed 6800

+ETH Module

on page 88.

Resetting the 6800+ETH IP Address

If you do not know the IP address of an 6800

+ETH module, you can set it back to the default, and then set it to a new IP address. Follow these steps:

Remove the 6800

+ETH module from the frame, following the steps in

Removing a

Locate the DIP switches on the 6800

+ETH module.

Appendix B

Troubleshooting

Using a sharp object, set DIP switch 2 to the On (down) position.

The default IP address is 192.168.100.250.

Reinstall the 6800

+ETH module in the frame, following the instructions in

Installing a

Addresses, adding SNMP 63

Wait ten seconds for the 6800

+ETH module to power up and initialize.

Configure or program your module with a new IP address.



To change the IP address using Telnet, see

Establishing a Telnet Session

on page 70,

and then follow the instructions for setting an IP address as described in

setipaddr

on page 72.



To change the IP address using remote control parameters in Navigator, see the topic

“Setting the Device Tab” in your CCS documentation for more information.

Remove the 6800

+ETH module from the frame, and then set DIP switch 2 to the Off (up) position.

Reinstall the 6800

+ETH module.

When the 6800

+ETH module powers up and initializes, it will have the newly configured IP address. If you are using CCS software such as Navigator, you should rediscover the frame with the new IP address.

Pinging an Installed 6800+ETH Module

If you cannot discover the 6800

+ETH module with a CCS application, ping the module’s IP address to see if it is connected to the network. If the IP address is verified, run another discovery.

Note: You can ping a 6800

+ETH module 10 to 20 seconds after turning on all connected

frames. However, it may take up to four minutes for an 6800

+ETH module to become

available for Navigator discovery.

To verify the 6800

+ETH module’s network connection, ping its IP address by following these steps:

Open a DOS command prompt window and type the following: ping 192.168.100.250

In the DOS entry above, “192.168.100.250” is the factory default IP address. If you have changed the IP address of your 6800

+ETH module since receiving it, use the new IP address instead at the DOS prompt.

Press ENTER.

You will get one of two possible responses:

FR6822

+ Frames

Installation and Operation Manual



A Reply... message verifies that the device is connected to the CCS network.



A Request timed out message signals that the ping command failed.The device is either not connected or not reachable on the CCS network.

If you can ping the IP address of the 6800

+ETH module, but the CCS application cannot find it even after waiting for several minutes after applying power to the frame, download the latest 6800

+ETH firmware from our website and repeat the discovery and pinging process.

Using 6800 Series Modules in FR6822+ Frames

Most 6800 series modules (non

+ series) housed in an FR6822+ frame can be operated and monitored using card-edge controls, or remotely using CCS Navigator, a web browser, or

SNMP-based control application. The FR6822

+ frame is designed to house and power both the 6800 and the 6800

+ modules. Although the 6800+ modules have different features and controls, both work in harmony with each other in the evolved FR6822

+ frame. However,

6800 series modules cannot be discovered by CCS applications or remotely controlled.

There are a few 6800 series modules that are not fully compatible with FR6822

+ frames and may short communication or genlock lines in the frame. If you encounter one of these technical problems, compare your installed 6800 series modules with the modules listed in the document Installing Compatible 6800/7000 Modules in FR6802

+XF Frames, which is available for download from our website. Remove those installed 6800 series modules that are not compatible with the FR6822

+ frame.

CAUTION

Note: The front module must match the corresponding back connector; otherwise, the modules will not operate correctly. Some module insertions may be prevented if the modules are incompatible.

If your 6800 series modules are in fact compatible with the FR6822

+ frame and you still encounter communication problems, ensure that the installed front module matches the back connector.

Slow Response Time During Discovery

To improve response time during a discovery, you may need to remove invalid IP addresses from the PC’s DNS Service Search Order list.

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

Click the Network icon in the Control Panel window.

The Network dialog box appears.

Select the Protocols tab in the Network box.

Select TCP/IP Protocol from the Network Protocols list, and then click Properties....

The Microsoft TCP/IP Protocol dialog box appears.

Select the DNS tab of the Microsoft TCP/IP Protocol box.

Appendix B

Troubleshooting

Select invalid IP addresses in the DNS Service Search Order list, and then click Remove.

Click OK to close the Microsoft TCP/IP Protocol box.

CCS Application Cannot Control 6800+Eth Module

If your 6800

+ETH module is discovered but cannot be controlled from the resource tree, here are some things to try:



Check the positioning of the 6800

+ETH module to ensure that it is properly seated in its slot in the frame.

Ensure that the status bar on the CCS application’s resource control window indicates that the 6800

+ETH module is ready.

If it is not, the host frame may be turned off or disconnected from the network.

Ensure that you have access rights to control the 6800

+ETH module and its parameters.

If you do not, contact the network administrator or an Administrator user to obtain permission to control the module.

Make sure there are no ICE6800

+ modules installed in the same frame as the 6800+ETH module.

6800

+ETH and ICE6800+ are incompatible, and neither will operate correctly if they are both installed a frame.

Hardware Fails to Communicate with PC after Power Failure

After a power failure, a FR6822

+QXFE frame requires sufficient time to recover and restore communication with the PC.

To restore communications between the PC and the frame, give the frame three or more minutes to recover from the power failure before you exit the application and log back on.
