CARD CONFIGURATION – 7780M4-ASI 

6.1. 

CONFIGURING THE 7780M4-ASI USING VISTALINK

®

 

Expand the Hardware tree from the VLPro window. Locate the IP address of the frame controller in 
which the card(s) has been installed. Click the “+” button to expand the frame. The card you have 
installed should be displayed as a sub component of this frame, and should be named appropriately, 
7780M4-ASI, followed by square brackets to indicate the slot number used. 
 

6.2. 

ASI IN 1/2/3/4 TABS 

Right-click the card and select 

View Configuration

 from the context sensitive menu. You will be 

presented first with the “ASI IN 1” tab. The following three tabs labeled ASI IN 2 / ASI IN 3 / ASI IN 4 
have identical controls and layout but refer to each of the separate inputs. For the sake of brevity, only 
ASI IN 1 will be described.   
 
The configuration screen shown in Figure 6-1 will appear on the right-hand side of the screen:
