3.6 Upgrading Software
(
Downloads Tab
)
The Software screen on the Downloads tab lets the system administrator load a valid upgrade
file from Vislink.
CAUTION
Upgrade should only be performed using uninterrupted power sources
because the software can be erased in the event of a power failure
during the upgrade process. Use only a valid upgrade file from Vislink.
Loading another file can damage the unit.
3.7 Managing Alarms
You can monitor alarms from the front panel or from the GUI on the Alarms Tab, as described in
this section.
3.7.1 Interpreting the Front Panel LEDs
The following figure and table describes how to interpret the LEDs on the front panel.
1
dBm
display
The LED display indicates the current level of transmitter power or receiver signal in dBm.
This display switches automatically between Tx power and Rx signal level readings.
2
MAJOR ALARM
LED
Green
= No alarm detected.
Red
= Indicates a major problem but no change in state will occur. A flashing red LED
indicates that the trigger relay alarm will change the service state. For example, if your system
is setup with a Hot Standby protection switch and you have set the Trigger Relay radio button
(see figure on page 3-13), the trigger relay alarm will cause an automatic transfer to the backup
transceiver.
3
MINOR ALARM
LED
Green
= No alarm detected.
Amber
= Indicates a minor problem exists but service is not lost; a flashing LED indicates
more than one minor problem exists.
4
SCM STATUS
LED
Unlit
=No alarm detected.
Amber
=Indicates a minor SCM problem exists but service is not lost
Red
=Indicates a
major SCM problem exists causing the system to lose service.
