VERIFYING THE CPU CARD INSTALLATION
The CPU card’s operating status can be checked by looking at the
lights on the front of the card. The following lights indicate that the card
has been properly installed in the matrix:
• The two power-supply lights, labeled “+5V” and “+3.3V,” illuminate
green steadily to indicate that the power supplies are present.
• The dot-matrix array of lights displays a number to indicate which of
the four stored configurations in the card’s memory is currently
operating.
• The “OK” light flashes to indicate that the CPU card software is
running.
• The “master” light illuminates steadily on the currently active CPU
card, indicating that the CPU card is properly installed and
operating correctly.
INSTALLING ANALOG PORT AND EXPAN-
SION CARDS
Before installing an interface card, the card’s associated
rear-connector panel should be installed.
The order in which the cards are installed from left to right must be
considered before installation in order to ensure that the system will
function correctly.
The order (left to right) in which the cards must be installed is:
• First: MVX-A16 cards (normally in leftmost slots)
• Second: IVC-32 cards
• Third: LMC-64 cards
• Fourth: E-Que Antenna cards
• Fifth: E-Que Splitter cards
• Sixth: E-Que Trunk cards
• Seventh: E-Fib cards (normally in the rightmost slots)
The Eclipse system has a limit of 240 audio ports which may be
allocated to MVX-A16 cards or IVC-32 cards. Each MVX-A16 card
uses 16 audio ports and each IVC-32 card uses 32 audio ports from
the total. The total of 240 audio ports can be made up of any
combination of MVX-A16 and IVC-32 cards; any audio ports beyond
the 240 limit will not be recognised by the system.
For example an Median matrix system could contain a maximum of 8
MVX-A16 cards which would fill the frame but would not use the
maximum number of audio ports supported:
NOTE: If your computer does
not have a serial port, and
only offers USB, adapters are
generally available from
computer parts suppliers.
