MAGENTA MONDO MATRIX TC
2. Introduction
Introduction
The Magenta Mondo TC is a touchscreen LCD that is used to provide an easy means
of control of a Mondo Matrix switch.
The Mondo TC connects directly to a Mondo Matrix system via an RS232 port and self
configures itself to the system. No further set up is necessary.
An included SD card may be used to store and recall crosspoint settings. See section
on the Auto Switch use.
The SD card can also be removed and inserted into a PC where the text files on it can
be open and edited. Any supported Mondo switching command can be included in this
file. Commands that provide feedback can be used, however information sent to the
Mondo TC will be disregarded. Reference the Mondo Command set in the Mondo
Matrix user guide.
3. Setup and Installation
CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL
1. Connect the DB9 RS232 communication cable to the Mondo TC. This cable is
supplied with the unit. If it cannot be located, a DB9M-DB9M Null Modem cable
can be used.
2. Connect the other end of the RS232 to an available Mondo Matrix DB9 port. The
Mondo Matrix serial port must be set to Mode 2 (M2). This can be done via the
front panel configuration LCD or via a serial terminal and the $SPC command.
Reference the Mondo Matrix user guide for details.
3. Insert SD Flash memory card into SD card slot. Ensure SD card is fully inserted.
To remove the SD flash card, gently push on it to release it.
4. Connect both power supplies to the Mondo TC. Only one power supply is required,
however two are supplied for redundancy. Plug power supplies into an AC mains
circuit and ensure Mondo TC powers on. There is no On/Off switch on the Mondo
TC. The Mondo TC will automatically communicate with the Mondo system and
configure itself for the correct system size once it has completed its initialization
sequence.
NOTE:
When the Mondo TC powers up, a error message stating that the unit is in Safe
Mode due to corrupt firmware will appear. This is normal and will not affect
operation. Please disregard this error.
5. To use the Mondo TC, simply touch the appropriate button on the screen.
