VERIFYING PORT CARD INSTALLATION
You can check the operating status of the matrix by viewing the
front-panel status lights. The following lights indicate that a port card
has been properly installed in the matrix:
• When lit, the four power-supply lights indicate that the associated
power supplies are operating properly. The four lights are +12V,
-12V, +5V, and +3.3V.
• The column of 16 yellow lights labeled “active” corresponds to the
card’s 16 ports. When lit, an “active” light indicates that there is a
remote device connected to that port and that communication is
running properly between the card and the remote device.
• The column of 16 green lights labeled “VOX” corresponds to the
card’s 16 ports. When lit, a “VOX” light indicates the audio level on
that port’s connected audio device has exceeded a threshold. You
set the threshold audio level for that port’s connected audio device
in the ECS configuration software.
• The green “frame data” light illuminates green when information has
successfully passed between the CPU card and the port card.
• The red “status” light illuminates when the port card fails to
communicate with the CPU card.
INSTALLING INTERFACES IN THE MEDIAN
To install an interface card directly in the Median
1. Remove the blank plates from the front and rear of the interface slot
in which an interface card will be installed.
2. Install the front and back interface cards in the slot. Advance the
front card along the guides in the front part of the slot until the card
connects to the midplane connector. Advance the rear card along
the guides in the rear part of the slot, until it connects with the
midplane connector.
3. Install the provided screws on the front and rear panels of the
interface cards you have just installed, to secure the interface in
place.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for each interface.
Note: One of the Median’s two power supplies will power all CPU,
port, and interface cards in the Median. The second power
supply provides backup power in case of outages. For more
information on installing and wiring a particular interface,
refer to that interface’s manual in the Eclipse set of
manuals.
