Video Generator/Audio De-Embedder Module
Mounting
The Model 5154 is intended for mount-
ing in an installation-specific enclosure or
rack panel. Refer to Appendix C at the end
of this guide for details on the required
mounting opening and screw locations.
Please contact the factory to discuss
mounting options.
Configuration
The manner in which a specific Model
5154 operates depends on how it has
been configured. One configuration param-
eter, RS-485 Address, is set in hardware
using four DIP switches. The other Model
5154 operating parameters can be set
either by way of menu pages associated
with a Model 5190 Remote Access Module
or by way of a simple text file that is stored
on a USB flash drive. (The file will auto-
matically load when the USB flash drive is
inserted into the Model 5154.) To assist in
the configuration process an information
file, STATUS.TXT, is automatically created
by the Model 5154 and stored on the same
USB flash drive.
Note that there are a number of unused
DIP switches. One is located on the MCU
board and five are located on the FPGA
board. These switches are reserved for
future use.
RS-485 Address
A data bus address must be configured
for applications that implement remote
control of Model 5154 functions. While up
to 16 Model 5100-Series modules can
“share” the RS-485 data bus, each module
must have a unique address. Selecting the
device’s address involves setting four con-
figuration switches on the MCU board. The
switches are a “piano key” type with their
up position being defined as off and their
down position defined as on.

Configuring Everything Else
Many other Model 5154 operating param-
eters can be configured using the Model
5190 Remote Access Module or by way of
a text file. Details on how to use the Model
5190’s menu pages are covered in other
documentation. Understanding how to
create and use a configuration text file
will be covered in this guide.
