Chapter 3: Configuration and Operation
• When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the
module requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20
seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses
power and must be restarted.
• Terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75
Ω
connector.
• If the required video reference is not present when you are operating
APM6800-D2
+
D/APM6801-D2
+
D, the free-running reference that is
specified in the Frame Rate parameter is generated to permit the encoding.
(For more information about Encoder parameters, see
Table 4-4 on
page 38 .)
• When Input 2 (Module) is selected for the DARS Input Select parameter,
the DARS input on the breakout cable (Input 1) becomes a DARS output.
This output is intended to be used in conjunction with the SFS6800
+
and
the 6800
+
OPT
+
BRGAPM cable combination, as a way to transfer the
DARS signal to the SFS6800
+
. (For more information, see “Appendix C:
Audio Only & Audio/Video Module Combinations” on page 93 .)
Changing Parameter Settings
There are two ways to change the parameters that control your module’s
operation: CCS software applications and card-edge controls.
Using CCS Navigator, you can view, set, and confirm your module’s parameter
settings from your computer’s monitor. Using the card-edge controls, you can
set parameters using the module’s rotary hex and navigation switches.
You can use the information in this chapter to configure and operate your
module using a CCS software application or the module’s card-edge controls.
For more information about setting parameters using the software application or
by using the module’s card-edge control, see
“Changing Parameters Using CCS
Navigator” on page 20 and “Changing Parameter Settings Using Card-Edge
Controls” on page 21 .

control parameters can be found in
“Chapter 4: Parameters, LEDs, and Alarms” on page 27 .
Changing Parameters Using CCS Navigator
Before using CCS software applications to change your module’s parameter
settings, you must discover CCS Navigator the module. Discovery is the
processes by which your software finds, and then connects to your module.
Discovering a Module Using Navigator
To discover your module, your Navigator software must be in Build mode.
1. If the Discovery pane is not open, select Tools > Discovery in the main
menu.
A Discovery pane opens, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. Click Options , and then click Add .
