Configuring the Phoenix Fiber Optic Communications Syst em This section explains how to configure a Phoenix chassis using the fr ont panel. The front panel has seven status LEDs, an LCD display, sev en push buttons and two RJ-45 por ts. These RJ-45 ports (labeled L AN and DA T A) are curr ently unused.
1. Turn on pow er and check status Turn on the power to the Phoenix chassis using the switches on the P ower S upply modules. If two power supplies ar e installed, turn on both switches. The LEDs per form a brief test when the chassis powers up: all seven LEDs turn green and then turn r ed.
The topology and node ID are set using the fr ont panel LCD display. The LCD displays a menu from which sub-menus or featur es can be selected. The push buttons allow you to navigate through the menus.
Press "enter" again to select the Node Menu: If you are configuring a system with a linear topology, and item 2 in the menu r eads, "2. Type – Linear", then you do not have to mak e any changes and can continue to Step 3, below .
FRONT P ANEL MENU TREE AND DESCRIPTIONS The menus accessible from the fr ont panel are shown in the menu tree below: Navigating through the menu tr ee is accomplished using the push buttons and LCD display. The LCD shows menus fr om which sub-menus or features can be selected.
Main Menu: The menus accessible from the fr ont panel are shown in the menu tree below: Pressing any key fr om the opening screen will take you to the Main Menu. Main -> Local: There ar e nine selections available to configure and monitor the local node.
The Node Menu shows the node ID and topology. Main -> Local -> Node -> ID Every Phoenix node (i.e. chassis) in a system must have a unique node ID number . The node ID is set to zero the first time a Phoenix chassis is switched on, or if you Load Defaults.
Main -> Local -> Node -> Load Defaults This feature sets the node ID back to zer o and clear s all channel mapping information for this node. The topology is retained. Main -> Local -> Optics: Information about the fiber optic transceivers can be accessed from the sub-menus.
Main -> Local -> Optics -> Info: The Info Menu shows the wavelength (normally 1310nM), maximum distance (normally 15km) and optic transceiver vendor name (Infineon) for the selected optic transceiver . Use the "+" button to select the next transceiver .
When a Phoenix node is initially configured (or if Load Defaults is selected fr om the Node Menu), every input channel is mapped to the output channel of the same number (e.g. input channel 1 is mapped to output channel 1, etc) on both fiber ports (for SHR) or just fiber port A (for Linear).
• One-Bar : If the input and output channels are both mapped but no input video signal is detected then one bar is shown in the monitor . • Square: If the input and output channels ar e both mapped and active video is detected then a black square is shown in the center of the monitor .
Main -> Local -> Data: Data Input and Data Output channel mapping, monitoring, format and tests can be accessed from the sub-menus. Main -> Local -> Data -> Input Mapping: This screen allows you to assign a data input channel to a data output channel over a selected fiber port .
• Square Wave: Active data is detected at the data input . Please refer to the Video Input Mapping Menu described earlier in this manual for impor- tant notes regar ding channel mapping and instr uctions on how to enable mappings.
• Square Wave: Active data is detected at the data input . Please refer to the Video Output Mapping Menu described earlier for important notes regar ding channel mapping and instr uctions on how to enable mappings.
Main -> Local -> Ethernet: Port configurations, status and traffic statistics can be accessed from these submenus. Main -> Local -> Ethernet -> Port Status: This screen allows you to monitor the link status of each port of an Ethernet module.
Main -> Local -> Audio: Audio Input and Audio Output mapping and tests can be accessed from the sub-menus. Main -> Local -> Audio -> Input Mapping: This screen allows you to assign an audio input channel to an audio output channel over a selected fiber port .
Main -> Local -> Audio -> T est: This menu allows the user to initiate a 1KHz test tone for a specified channel. The first line of this menu shows the currently selected audio channel. The second line indicates the status of the test tone (Off or 1.
• Closed: If the contact closure is closed then the plunger of the switch is lower ed. Please refer to the Video Input Mapping Menu described earlier for important notes regar ding channel mapping and instr uctions on how to enable mappings.
The third line, "2. T ype" allows system events to be mapped to contact closure output channels: • Transmitted. The contact behaves normally. • Optic A: A problem on optic port A closes the selected contact . • Optic B: A problem on optic port B closes the selected contact .
Main -> Local -> T est -> LED/LCD/Alarm: This selection runs through a series of thr ee tests: 1. LED T est: All LEDs turn off, then turn green, and then turn r ed. 2. LCD T est: The screen turns black. Then the GE logo is displayed. 3. Alarm T est: The front panel alarm sounds for a few seconds.
Main -> Remote: This option is not available. An "Under Construction " message is displayed when selecting this menu. Main -> About: The Main About Menu displays the softwar e ver sion of the chassis. Under Construction P hoenix Controller V ersion 1.
