User Interfaces
The UDC-8625A series includes the following user interfaces.
DashBoard
DashBoard enables you to monitor and control openGear frames and cards from a computer.
DashBoard communicates with cards in the frame through the Network Controller Card. This
controller card is required in order to use DashBoard to monitor the UDC-8625A series card. The
DashBoard software and manual are available for download from our website
For More Information on...
• setting up and using the Network Controller Card, refer to its user manual.
• the UDC-8625A series menus in DashBoard, refer to “
Appendix A. DashBoard
Menus ” on page 9-1.
Card-edge Controls
The front-edge of the card features LED indicators for input status and communication activity.
The card-edge also includes a 3-position jumper block used to configure the termination on the
local reference input.
For More Information on...
• using the card-edge controls, refer to the section “ Card Overview ” on page 2-3.
• the LEDs, refer to the section “ Card-edge LEDs ” on page 2-4.
SNMP Monitoring and Control
The Network Controller card in the openGear frame provides optional support for remote
monitoring of your frame and the UDC-8625A series card using Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), which is compatible with many third-party monitoring and control tools.
For More Information on...
• enabling SNMP Monitoring and Control for your frame, refer to the MFC-8300 Series or
MFC-OG3 Series User Manual .

Note
— Ross Video recommends using the MFC-8320-N or MFC-OG3-N Network
Controller Card for optimal performance especially when multiple UDC-8625A series
cards are installed in one frame. An MFC-8320-S or MFC-8322-S Controller Card can
be used, but you may encounter delays in updating settings in DashBoard and
upgrading the card software.
