Installation
Testing
1 Ensure that the router has power. Either or both of the power indicator LEDs should be on.
If that is not the case, then check the power indicator LED of the router’s power supply and
check the connectors of the power supply’s cables. Replace the power supply if it is defec-
tive.
You might want to use the power supply strap to help the line cable secure. See Power Cord
Retention for the PS0001 and PS0012 Power Supplies on page 185.
2 Examine the captive panel. Are all the source and destination buttons illuminated? Most will
be illuminated at a low level.
3 Perform one or more takes using the panel. (Press a destination button followed by a source
button.)
You do not need to connect any devices to a router to see whether the router switches. But-
ton status on the control panel reflects the router’s state. However, connected devices will
give you visual and auditory feedback regarding the quality of the switched signals.
4 Perform a panel lock. Press the panel lock button and it should turn red. (When the panel is
locked, other buttons are disabled.)
5 Perform a destination lock. Press a destination then press the ‘Destination Lock’ button. Both
buttons should turn red. Press the ‘Destination Lock’ button again. Both buttons should
revert to amber.
6 Exactly one of the level selection buttons should be bright. (There are 4 buttons, corre-
sponding to the level you selected with the rotary switch.)
If the router and panel pass all of these simple tests, it is likely to be working properly. You can
now proceed with I/O connections and more exhaustive and detailed testing that is dependent
only your installation.
Report any failures to Grass Valley customer service.
CR6400 Stand-Alone Networks
A stand-alone CR6400 network comprises 1–4 CR6400 routers, one or more captive CP6464
panels, and an Ethernet switch. If you have an automation system, the panels are not strictly
required, but are helpful for testing.
1 Ensure that each router has a unique rotary switch setting in the range 1–4. The switch posi-
tion determines the router’s level.
2 Connect and power-up your Ethernet switch. Verify that the switch is operating and that all
ports are communicating. You should see both green and amber communication lights at
the Ethernet connectors of the routers.
3 Your panel should power up with its panel lock button high-tally red. Press the panel lock
button to turn panel lock off. The panel’s buttons should become illuminated and operable.
4 If you have set the rotary switches of your routers correctly, one or more of the level buttons
should be illuminated. Level button 1 (the left-most level button) corresponds to the router
whose rotary switch was set to 1. Level button 2 corresponds to the router whose rotary
switch was set to 2, and so on.
Report and correct any failures before proceeding.
