IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions.

Keep these instructions.

Heed all warnings.

Follow all instructions.

Do not use this equipment near water.

Clean only with dry cloth.

Do no block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the equipment instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other apparatus that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Only use attachments and accessories specified by Ensemble Designs.

Unplug this equipment when not used for long periods of time.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the equipment has been damaged in any way, such as when a power-supply cord is damaged, liquid has been spilled or subjects have fallen into the equipment, the equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Risk of electric shock. Qualified service personnel should only access power supply after frame has been unplugged from power.

This product may contain lasers. This is a Class A Laser Product. The optical output emits invisible radiation. Do not stare directly into the optical output beam or view directly with optical instruments.

If the equipment is installed in a moveable cart, use caution when moving the equipment to avoid injury from tip-over.

Avenue Intersection Frame

AVENUE INTERSECTION FRAME OVERVIEW

The Avenue Intersection Frame is a compact, high-density, 1 RU unit that holds up to ten fiber optic I/O modules. The Avenue Frame can be integrated into an Avenue network or can be used as an independent optical product, depending on the application.

The front of the frame, shown in the illustration below, has LED status indication for power, input signal presence and laser fault. The rear of the frame has one ethernet connector and two AveNet connectors for the Avenue control interface.

Status

Avenue Intersection Frame

Any combination of up to ten 3710 IS, 3720, 3750 and 3760 Electrical and Optical modules can be used in the Intersection frame. BNCs and SC optical connectors are on the modules, not on the frame. Modules plug into the frame from the rear.

The Intersection Frame has the following features:

• Use with Optical/Electrical Converter modules

• Optional System Control module provides AveNet and ethernet interface

• Use independently or tie to an Avenue 3RU frame for control

• SNMP monitoring

• Complete, integrated solution for using optical and electrical signals in the same facility

• Optional Redundant Power

The Avenue Intersection Frame has a System Control module that enables the frame to tie into the Avenue control system, just like any other Avenue frame or control surface.

The Avenue Intersection Frame appears as a frame device in the Avenue Control System.

Control and status in the Intersection frame are presented to the user through the existing Avenue Control System, through Avenue PC or an Avenue Control Panel.

The Avenue Intersection Frame can also be matched to the modules in an Avenue 3RU

Frame through the control system. This matching provides superior integration, allowing the customer to look at a signal path without concern for the use of both frames. For example, a signal might pass through an 8500 converter and frame sync and then through the 3710 electrical to optical converter. This signal could be viewed from one set of menus through Avenue PC or an Avenue Control Panel.

Redundant power is optional and there are two AC line connectors.

Warning

Rick of electric shock. Qualifed service personael should only access power supply after frame has been unplugged from power.

This is a Class A Laser Product. The optical output emits invisible radiation. Do not stare directly into the optical output beam or view directly with optical instruments.

INTERSECTION FRAME INSTALLATION

The 1 RU Avenue Intersection Frame is designed to be installed in a standard 19 inch rack with four customer-supplied standard rack screws. This section explains any physical installation and cabling instructions necessary for using Avenue Intersection Frames.

After physical installation, network configuration of the Local controls on the Control module in the frame. Refer to the Configuration section of this data pack.

Intersection Frame Rear Connectors

5065 Power Supplies

Each Avenue Intersection frame includes a single 5065 Power Supply module. It installs in the upper right slot of the frame. Power is provided to all modules in the frame where it is regulated to the required voltages for the module. A redundant power supply can be ordered. Power supplies are hot-swappable.

Cabling

Network connection of an Intersection Frame is made on the rear of the panel as illustrated below. The Intersection Frame can communicate with Avenue frames through via Ethernet or through an AveNet connection.

Avenue Intersection–5

Avenue Intersection Frame

AveNet:

AveNet is the Avenue control bus that allows communication between frames by the

System Control modules in each frame. Up to 20 frames can be connected on each individual AveNet network. Any number of AveNet networks can then be connected together via Ethernet. AveNet connection between frames requires looping between the standard RJ11 LAN connectors of each frame with standard phone cable or custom-made simple twisted pair LAN cable. The unused connectors must be terminated with 100 ohm LAN terminations at the first and last frames in the group.

Pinouts of the RJ11 connector and termination are shown below.

Each Avenue device on the AveNet LAN network must have a different AveNet address. The address is set using the Status menu functions on the front of the

System Control module in each frame.

Ethernet:

Avenue Intersection Frames may be connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet network. The

IP Address for each frame in the network is set on the System Control module in each frame or frames connected to the Ethernet network. The Avenue backplanes have a standard RJ45 connector for Ethernet interface.

Each Avenue device on the Ethernet network must have a different IP Address, including the Express Panel. The address for the frame is set using the Status menu functions on the front of the System Control Module in each frame, or a Touch Screen or Express Panel. Refer to the Intersection Networking section for detailed information.

Avenue System Overview

5070 System Control Module

The optional 5070 System Control Module provides the Ethernet and AveNet interface connections to an Avenue Intersection frame. The module is required for remotely controlling and configuring the frame modules from the Avenue remote control options which include the Touch Screen panels and the Avenue PC Control Application Software.

A Status menu on the front of the module in the Intersection frame provides Ethernet, and Reference communication indicators. Status menu functions also allow viewing of the current software version, viewing and setting of AveNet and IP addresses and a Touch

Screen Panel reset function.

SETTING AVENET AND IP ADDRESSES

Networking an Avenue frame is explained in detail in the Avenue System Overview. This data pack is available online from http://www.ensembledesigns.com.

For networking the Intersection frame into an Avenue network, the AveNet and IP addresses of each frame must be set at the frame using the Status menu functions on the front of the System Control Module. The Status menu display and the switches are shown in the illustration on the next page.

The Status menu is used for various purposes. It acts continuously as a status indicator for showing system communication between the Avenue frame and external Ethernet and

External Reference connections. A series of menu functions can also be accessed through the Status menu as listed below:

• Display current software version running on this control module

• View and change AveNet and IP addresses

• Enable AVIP function and set lower and upper AveNet addresses in frame group.
