Overview & General Specifications
12 Octaire Instruction Manual
Control Hardware
The control hardware (CPU) on the primary enclosure is on the right and includes the following:
TCP/IP port (on primary enclosure only)
–
for connecting to an APWeb Server (page 35)
Set of toggle switches
–
for setting the vertical interval sync parameters (page 33)
Two BNC connectors
–
for linking vertical interval sync (page 32)
System Status indicator
–
for system power and communication status (page 28)
Serial port (DB-9)
–
for attaching an external control device to the primary enclosure (page 25)
Two linking ports (RJ-45)
–
for linking multi-enclosure Octaire systems (page 19)
The hardware (CPU) on the secondary enclosure(s) is also on the right and includes the same items as the
primary enclosure, except it does not have a TCP/IP port and LEDs. The serial port on secondary
enclosures is intended for single enclosure diagnostic information and system firmware upgrades.
Power Receptacles & Switches
The Octaire has dual power connections for the redundant power supplies located on the left. Each power
supply has a power receptacle with a switch and will accept all major international standard power
sources. Two standard US power cords are provided for installations within the US. The maximum
power specifications are located between the power receptacles. For additional information on the
redundant power supplies, see page 27.
Serial Number
The serial number is located on the rear next to the power receptacles (see FIG. 3 on page 11).
We recommend recording the “FGP44-xxxx-xxx” system number (see page 7) and the serial number for
each enclosure in the system in an easily accessible location.
