28 8943RDA/-D/-DFR — Instruction Manual
Configuration
Configuration
The 8943RDA modules can be configured locally using onboard switches
or remotely using the 8900NET network interface GUI or a networked
Newton Control Panel.
Refer to the following sections for a summary of configuration instructions:
• Configuration Summary ( page 28 )
• Local Onboard Module Configuration ( page 33 )
• Remote Control and Monitoring ( page 38 )
Operation of these control types is explained in detail in their respective
sections of this manual.
Configuration Summary
The configuration of each 8943RDA DA establishes:
• Input signal status reporting at module level (remote control only),
• Local only or Remote/Local control (onboard jumper selection),
• Input to output mapping (8943RDA-D and 8943RDA-DFR only), and
• Input Operating Mode setup.
Table 14 on page 89 provides a summary in table format of all parameters
and their ranges, default values, and remote, local, and control panel func-
tion names and locations for setting each value.
Input Operating Modes
The choices for input operating modes are described below. Refer to Table 7
on page 30 for an overview of the input status states in each of these modes.
Auto Reclock/Bypass
In this mode the electrical inputs are equalized and fed to the reclocker. The
module will analyze the input to determine whether the bit rate is
270Mb/s, 1485Mb/s, or 2970Mb/s. If the input signal matches one of these
rates, the signal is reclocked at the determined data rate and passed to the
electrical output line drivers. If the signal is determined to not be one of
these rates, the reclocker will be automatically bypassed and the signal
passed directly to the electrical output line drivers.
Note When in Auto Reclock/Bypass mode, the electrical line driver outputs will be
set to the last known good SD or HD slope (slew rate).
