Firmware
On Screen Display (OSD) - Firmware Option
The Configurator can be accessed and controlled via an OSD (
O
n-
S
creen
D
isplay) technology. The
Configurator software can be installed on a designated out-of-band (OOB) PC which users can access
from a workstation. A preconfigured hot-key sequence will deliver the Configurator GUI straight to the
user’s desktop monitor. The user can then select the defined sources and destinations that they wish to
connect. While a user is making the connections, they have exclusive use of the OOB PC. Once they
have completed their connections, the OOB PC becomes available for the next user. The OOB PC that
has the Configurator loaded on it has a built-in timeout function, therefore the PC should not be taken out
of service for an extended period. The timeouts can be set in increments of one second. Typical timeouts
are in the order of 10 seconds.

Safely Remove an Active Control Card or Shut Down the System
During normal, non-maintenance operation, the
Primary Control Card should always be the
Active controller for the system.
However, there may be times when other conditions
temporarily exist, such as during maintenance, updates, repairs, etc.
Although the system will run normally on the Back-up (or Secondary) Control Card, not having a
second card eliminates the fail-over protection afforded by a redundant, two-card system.
The following commands allow the safe removal of a Control Card and the switch of activity
from one Control Card to the other without interruption of connections
Note: During normal operation, the Primary Control Card should always be the
active controller for the system.
