Operation
Using the Densité Frame Control Panel
Output module SFP LEDs
In a Kaleido-MX (3RU), every output module has 4 SFP LEDs located on the rear connector
panel. These LEDs are always OFF, and currently not relevant.
Using the Densité Frame Control Panel
All of the cards installed in a Densité frame are connected to the frame’s controller card,
which handles all interaction between the cards and the outside world. There are no
operating controls located on the cards themselves. The controller supports remote
operation via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using its integrated control panel.
The local control panel is fastened to the controller card, and consists of a display unit
capable of displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five buttons.
Densité CPU-ETH2 local control panel
The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pressing the Select button on the
front edge of that card. The Status LED on the selected card will then be blinking orange.
Press the CONTROLLER button on the control panel to select the controller card itself.
Navigating the Local Control Panel Menu
The Kaleido-MX has operating parameters which may be adjusted locally at the controller
card interface. Press the Select button on the front edge of a Kaleido-MX input or output card
(see
, on page 22) to assign the local control panel to operate
4 SFP LEDs (for future use), in OUTPUT A
area of Kaleido-MX (3RU) rear panel.
(Interface for OUTPUT B is the same.)
