4.1. 

STATUS INDICATOR LEDS 

Two large LEDs at the front card-edge indicate operational health of the module as follows: 
 

MODULE OK: 

This green LED indicates good module health. It will be on while a valid optical 
signal is present at the optical input and the card power is good. 

 

LOCAL FAULT: 

This red LED indicates poor module health. Two conditions could cause this fault 
indication to be active. No valid signal is present at the optical input or if a card 
power fault exists (i.e. a blown fuse). The LOCAL FAULT indication can also be 
reported to the frame by setting the FRAME STATUS jumper. 

 

There are five small LEDs on the back of the card-edge that indicate signal presence. These LEDs are Bi-
colour, and they are able to illuminate as red or green. The functions of these LEDs are as follows: 
 

LED 1, VIDEO STATUS:

 

This LED indicates the status of the optical input video signal. When a valid 

input video signal is detected the LED will be green.  The LED will be red while 
errors are detected within the input video.  If no video is detected on the optical 
input of the 7707VAR-HD the LED will remain off. 

 

LED 2, AES 1 STATUS:

 

This LED indicates the status of Audio output 1. When a valid audio signal is 

present at the output the LED will be green.  If no audio is present at the first audio 
output of the 7707VAR-HD the LED will remain off. 

 

LED 3, AES 2 STATUS:

 

This LED indicates the status of Audio output 2. When a valid audio signal is 

present at the output the LED will be green.  If no audio is present at the second 
audio output of the 7707VAR-HD the LED will remain off. 

 

LED 4, AES 3 STATUS:

 

This LED indicates the status of Audio output 3. When a valid audio signal is 

present at the output the LED will be green.  If no audio is present at the third audio 
output of the 7707VAR-HD the LED will remain off. 

 

LED 5, AES 4 STATUS:

 

This LED indicates the status of Audio output 4. When a valid audio signal is 

present at the output the LED will be green.  If no audio is present at the fourth 
audio output of the 7707VAR-HD the LED will remain off. 

 

4.2. 

DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY AND CONTROLS 

Additional monitoring and control functions are implemented via the 4-digit dot-matrix display and controls 
located at the card-edge. The card-edge pushbutton and toggle-switch are used to navigate through the 
display menu. Figure 4-2 provides a quick reference to the display menu structure. 
 
Pressing the pushbutton advances the display to the next menu level. The toggle-switch may then be used 
to move up or down through selections of that menu level.  Select 

BACK

 to return to the previous menu 

level. 
 
If a specific menu selection has a configuration value associated with it, then this may be changed using 
the toggle switch.  Pressing the pushbutton will apply the displayed value and return the user to the 
previous menu level.
