Densité 3 frame’s local control panel

Like all other cards installed in a Densité 3 frame, the SSP-3801 is connected to the frame’s
controller card, which handles all interaction between the cards and the outside world. The
controller also supports remote operation via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using
its integrated control panel (figure

2-6

).

Figure 2-6. The Densité 3 frame local control panel

With no operating controls located on the SSP-3801 card itself, you can use the Densité 3
frame’s local control panel to perform basic SSP-3801 configuration and control tasks. The
local control panel and its push-buttons provide you with a menu of parameters and allows
you to adjust parameter values. See

Densité 3 Control Panel Menus

on page 47 for a listing

of all the available parameters.

To gain control of the SSP-3801 card and browse the available parameters:

1 Push the

Select

button on the SSP-3801 card edge (see figure

2-4

) to assign the local

control panel to operate the SSP-3801.
