14.4.3 Nucleus2 Router Control Module LEDs at Startup/Reset
When the controller starts up or is reset the Power OK LED will illuminate first and then
LEDs 1 to 6 will start to flash as the controller goes through its boot process. They will reach
the state shown in Table 67 when the first part of the boot process is complete. The controller
will be ready to communicate with the control system and control the router up to two minutes
after this. This will be indicated by the SAM control system connected to the router.
14.4.4 Nucleus2 Router Control Module LEDs on Database Push
When a Workbench database is pushed to a controller in a frame with two controllers it should
be pushed to the inactive controller first. This means that route changes and processing can
be controlled while the inactive controller is being updated. The inactive controller can then be
made active for the user to test the database. If the test is successful the database is then
pushed to the other (now inactive) controller so that the databases in both controllers
matches.
In a frame with a single controller this is not possible and the database must be pushed to the
single active controller. All communication with the router controller will be lost during the
database push of the configuration changes and subsequent reset. Because of this the
crosspoints cannot be switched and tallies are not reported during this process. Video and
audio processing is unaffected.
The following description assumes that the controllers are set to automatically reset after a
database push. This can be checked and changed by using the Workbench Online Editor. In
a dual controller system remember to check that both controllers are set the same:

ConfigurationItems | MiscellaneousFeatures |
ResetControllerAfterConfigurationPush
•
Reset after database push enabled =
True
•
Reset after database push disabled =
False
While the database is being pushed the LEDs will operate as normal, see Table 67 Pushing a
large database can take up to 5 minutes. Once the push is complete the controller will
automatically reset and the LEDs will operate as they do during a normal reset (described in
section 14.4.3). The exception to this is when the database is pushed to the first controller of
a pair. In this case the database will not match the database in the active controller and so
LED 4 will be Pulsing Orange showing there is a mismatch between the databases in the two
controllers. The mismatch will be corrected as soon as the database is pushed to the other
controller in the pair.
