Configuration and Monitoring
8943CF module configuration and monitoring can be performed locally
using the onboard controls or using a web browser GUI interface or the
Newton Control Panel when the 8900NET Network Interface module is
present in the GeckoFlex frame. Control and monitoring is described in the
following sections:

Input Operating Modes Overview
Each of the four channels must be configured for the desired input mode.
This can be done using the on-board switches, on the Settings web page
using the web browser interface, or with the Newton Control Panel. The
different modes of operation are described in this section. Input signal
monitoring differs between modes as described in each mode section
below. For an input signal monitoring summary, refer to
The 8943CF supports the following modes of operation:
•
Auto Reclock/Bypass mode
•
Auto Reclock/Mute mode
•
3G 2970M mode
•
HD 1485M mode
•
SD 270M mode
•
Manual Bypass HD/3G
•
Manual Bypass SD
Auto Reclock/Bypass Mode
In this mode, the electrical inputs are equalized and fed to the reclocker. If
the specific bit rates of 270Mb/s, 1485Mb/s, or 2970Mb/s are analyzed by
the module, it will reclock the signal at the determined bit rate and feed this
signal to both the electrical BNC and the fiber optic outputs. With input
reporting enabled, the input signal will be reported as
Present
.
If a bit rate other than 270Mb/s, 1485Mb/s, or 2970Mb/s is detected by the
module or no input signal is detected, reclocking will not be performed and
the signal will be automatically bypassed to the outputs. With input
reporting enabled, the input signal will be reported as
Not Monitored
.
