Operating Instructions

9400-Series Function Submenu List and Descriptions

(continued)

• Reclocker/EQ Automute Bypass Select

Provides enable/disable controls for each of the four SDI output channels
that allow Reclocker and EQ Automute functions to be disabled.

Default setting are:
Reclocker Bypass set to disabled (box unchecked)
EQ Automute set to enabled (box checked).

Reclocker bypass enabled and EQ Automute disabled is recommended
when an input channel is to carry a non-SMPTE format signal. Using
these settings for a non-SMPTE signal prevents EQ/Automute function
from rejecting the signal as noise, and prevents nuisance Invalid alarm
from propagating to card status display.

• Output Driver Disable Select

When checked, turns off the selected SDI cable driver module. Disabling
unused driver modules circumvents nuisance alarm propagation for
unused output channels.

• Channel Disable Reclock Alarm Select

When checked, disables any non-reclock alarms for the selected output
channel. Disabling unused channels circumvents nuisance alarm
propagation for unused output channels, or channels carrying
non-SMPTE signals.

Note: On cards with less than four fiber output channels, DashBoard may

still have DIS. ALARM controls for the unpopulated channels. Make
certain these are set to disabled (checked) to prevent nuisance
alarms for unpopulated channels.

• Driver Module Temperature Alarm

Threshold Select

Allows custom settings of global temperature alarm (caution state: yellow
alert propagated) or warning (warning state: red alert propagated).

CAUTION

Alarm thresholds should not be set at values that exceed pre-defined
threshold for FOM (fiber optic module) fitted to the card. This information
can be found using the Fiber Optics Module information/status tab.
Refer to Fiber Optics Module tab on next page for more information.
