TPC
MEMORY CARD
The TPC is shipped with a 256Mbyte SD Memory Card which should be sufficient for most
projects since the TPC’s data storage is extremely efficient, even with a multitude of imported
media files. However, a larger capacity card could of course be fitted if required.
As only the project’s programming data resides on the card, the card is also a convenient way to
backup data for archiving; the Designer project file for example.
Furthermore, in the event of TPC hardware failure, simply moving the card into a replacement
unit with identical or more recent firmware is sufficient to get the project up and running again.
STATUS LEDS
The LEDs on the rear of the unit provide the following status information:
Pwr:
Power - illuminates when the unit is correctly powered.
Act:
Active - illuminates once the boot up procedure has completed and is indicative of a
fully functional unit.
Net:
Network - illuminates when the unit is sending or receiving Mosaic-related data.
Lnk:
Link - illuminates once the unit has established an Ethernet link.
100:
100BASE-TX - illuminates when the Ethernet link is operating at 100Mbit/s.
The LEDs on the front of the unit (under the overlay) provide the following status information:
Pwr:
Power - illuminates when the unit is correctly powered.
Act:
Active - illuminates once the boot up procedure has completed and is indicative of a
fully functional unit.
Eth:
Ethernet - illuminates when the unit is sending or receiving Mosaic-related data.
Out:
Output - indicates that a valid project file has been loaded from the memory card
and that playback & data output has started.
ERROR CODES
Additionally the red status LEDs are used to indicate any boot failures of the TPC that prevent
the unit from going active. These codes are outlined below and in all cases the Active LED will
be off.
• Ethernet & Output double flashing - failed to boot firmware (follow the TPC recovery
procedure detailed in Designer Help)
• Ethernet & Output triple flashing - memory card missing (insert or replace card)
