Chapter 3 Operation Overview This chapter describes how to operate the VSD / VSE6800+ using card-edge controls only. See the following Leitch documents for information on how to operate this product remotely: +Pilot Lite User Manual for serial control interface CCS Navigator, Pilot, CoPilot, or RCP-CCS-1U Remote Control Panel Installation and Operation Manual for Ethernet control interface The following topics are discussed in this chapter: Changing Parameter Settings on page 20 LEDs and Alarms on page 21 Operating Notes on page 17 Setting Parameters on page 18 Understanding Jumper Controls on page 14 Understanding Parameter Types on page 16 VSD / VSE6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 13

Chapter 3: Operation Understanding Jumper Controls Introducing Jumper Control Types Note We recommend that you use the available 6800+ software control options (serial / local or Ethernet / remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values. You can use the jumper on the front edge of the VSE6800+ to select either local control or remote control reclock setting operation mode. Figure 2-1 on page 10 illustrates the location of this jumper. Local Control Note In the local control reclock setting operation mode, all of the settings data status information appears on the +Pilot Lite control screen; however, you cannot change any setting in this mode via +Pilot Lite. To control the reclocking setting mode via +Pilot Lite, set the jumper to the remote control reclock setting operation mode. Remote Control Note To control the reclocking setting mode manually, set the jumper to the local control reclock setting operation mode. The local control is used to select one of three reclocking setting modes by a jumper at the board edge: automatic, manual, and bypass. The automatic reclocking setting mode automatically reclocks the input signal. The RCLK LED is green and the corresponding rate indicator LED (yellow) is on when this reclock is successful. If this reclocking attempt fails, the RCLK LED will be red and the signal bypasses the reclocker and is present at outputs. The manual reclocking setting mode allows you to select at which rate the input signal attempts to reclock. (See Table 3-1 on page 15 for instructions on setting up the operation for reclocking rates.) The bypass mode allows you to force the input data to take the bypass path, whether it is locked or not. When the jumper is set to the remote position, the reclocker setting is handled by +Pilot Lite only. You may select the three setting modes (automatic, manual, and bypass) remotely via +Pilot Lite. 14 VSD / VSE6800+ Installation and Operation Manual

Chapter 3: Operation Understanding Parameter Types Adjustable Parameters Read-Only Parameters Most VSD / VSE6800+ parameters are adjustable, and can be set using either card-edge controls (see Introducing Jumper Control Types on page 14) or a software application. However, there are some parameters that are considered read-only and cannot be changed. Indicated by the abbreviation [RO], these parameters provide status and feedback information only. Two types of adjustable parameters can be changed using the card-edge controls: Numerical parameters which require you to select a value within a numerical range Selectable parameters which require you to select a specific option Both numerical and selectable parameter changes are immediate. Use the available 6800+ software controls (serial/ local or Ethernet / remote network) to view and monitor parameter selections. Many of the read-only parameters are also represented by LEDs on the front of the module s card edge. See Figure 1-1 on page 3 for the location of these LEDs. 16 VSD / VSE6800+ Installation and Operation Manual

Operating Notes Chapter 3: Operation When setting the control parameters on the VSD / VSE6800+, observe the following: When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted. When setting the control parameters on the VSE6800+, observe the following: When the module is set to remote control, the reclocking mode is controlled by the CCS control software application. When the module powers up with remote selected, the reclocking mode is set to the last known value. When the module is set to local control, the reclocking mode is controlled by adjusting the card-edge jumper to the appropriate setting. Reclocking mode selections are reflected in the CCS control software application. Any remote attempts to adjust the reclocking mode will have no effect. If a card-edge jumper is not installed the reclocking mode is set to Auto. When setting the control parameters on the VSD6800+, observe the following: The module has no user settable controls. As in the VSE6800+, status information is reflected on the card-edge LEDS and in the CCS control software application. VSD / VSE6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 17
