Module Configuration
Remote Configuration and Monitoring
8910ADA-M/ST Remote Configuration and Monitoring
8910ADA-M and -ST have limited reporting ability and no remote config-
uration functionality.
They will report:
• Module presence,
• Model number,
• Slot ID, and
• Revision and serial numbers.
8910ADA-SR Remote Configuration and Monitoring
8910ADA-SR configuration and monitoring can be performed using a web
browser GUI interface or a networked Newton Control Panel when the
8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface module is present in the video
frame (Gecko 8900TFN-A or GeckoFlex 8900FFN frame). Each of these
interfaces is described below.
Note For remote access, make sure the jumper block on the module is set for both
Local and Remote access (
Figure 11 on page 24 ).
8900NET Module Information
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual for infor-
mation on the 8900NET Network Interface module and setting up and
operating the Gecko 8900 frame network.
Newton Control Panel Configuration
A Newton Control Panel (hard and/or soft version) can be interfaced to
any 8900 Series frame with an 8900NET module over the local network.
Refer to the documentation that accompanies the Newton Modular Control
System for installation, configuration, and operation information.
Control panel access offers the following considerations for module config-
uration and monitoring:
• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing
the potential for on-air mistakes.
• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca-
tions—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate
with user-configured knobs.
• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP
addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.
