Overview

The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting system, also known as a SMPTE “alarm,” provides an indication if
one or more frame cards encounter a fault or an abnormal condition. This option is available when a
Network Controller Card is installed in the Frame Controller Slot. The MFC-8310 is included if the
frame has cooling fans in the front door. The individual card(s) can report fault conditions to the
Network Controller Card, which in turn outputs to a BNC connector on the openGear

8310 series

frame. When the frame connection is interfaced with a customer-designed system of LEDs or audible
alarms, faults can be traced to a specific frame when a card fault occurs within that frame.
