Introduction
9066 Functional Description
• Built-in Card Edge User Interface – Using the built-in card edge
controls and display, card control settings can be set using a front
panel menu which is described in Chapter 3,“Operating Instructions”.
Note: Some of the 9066 functions described in this manual are available only when
using the DashBoard™, or Cobalt
® OGCP-9000 or OGCP-9000/CC Remote
Control Panel user interfaces.
• DashBoard™ User Interface – Using DashBoard™, the 9066 and
other cards installed in openGear®
1
frames such as the Cobalt ®
HPF-9000 or 8321 Frame can be controlled from a computer and
monitor.
DashBoard™ allows users to view all frames on a network with
control and monitoring for all populated slots inside a frame. This
simplifies the setup and use of numerous modules in a large
installation and offers the ability to centralize monitoring. Cards
define their controllable parameters to DashBoard™, so the control
interface is always up to date.
The DashBoard™ software can be downloaded from the Cobalt
Digital Inc. website: www.cobaltdigital.com (enter “DashBoard” in
the search window). The DashBoard™ user interface is described in
Chapter 3,“Operating Instructions”.
Note: If network remote control is to be used for the frame and the frame has not yet
been set up for remote control, Cobalt ® reference guide Remote Control
User Guide (PN 9000RCS-RM) provides thorough information and
step-by-step instructions for setting up network remote control of COMPASS
®
cards using DashBoard™. (Cobalt ® OGCP-9000 and OGCP-9000/CC
Remote Control Panel product manuals have complete instructions for setting
up remote control using a Remote Control Panel.)
