verify if the card is operating properly by selecting the Test Pattern Enabled checkbox.

the broadcast monitor. When you can confirm that the test pattern plays out, clear the
Test Pattern Enabled checkbox, and click Save again.

Closed Captions/WSS checkbox.

Creating a restore point for Hot Swap
Before a Hot Swap can be performed, a restore point must be created. A restore point is a
copy of the SSP-3801 card's identity settings stored in the Densité frame’s memory. The
restore point includes all the settings configured on the Card Configuration > System
Identity page, except for the Data Centers value.
If changes are made to the System Identity settings, you must create a new restore point
otherwise old settings will be applied to the card during a system restart or upon insertion
of a new card such as when you switch a card in a Densité frame without powering-down
the system, which is known as a Hot Swap. For more information on Hot Swap, see
"
Switching SSP-3801 cards in a Densité frame (Hot Swap)
" in the SSP-3801 User Guide.
A restore point can be created by using one of these methods:
• If the Densité controller and the SSP-3801 card are on the same network, you can
generate the restore point from the SSP-3801 web interface.
• You can save the SSP-3801 card’s identity via the Densité controller’s web interface.
