ENCRYPTION (THE “KEY”
)
The yellow
KEY
LED when ON indicates that the data being transmitted is encrypted. If the LED is
OFF then the encoder module transport stream is not encrypted.
6.7.6
ERROR
The red
ERROR
LED when ON indicates a fault condition, there can be more than one. A common
cause could be that video is disconnected or the unit is expecting two video streams but is only
receiving one.
Rapid Flashing of the Error LED at startup indicates that there has been a fatal Boot Error. Slow
steady
Blinking at startup indicates that the system is doing self-tests and initializing.
Patterned
blinking at startup indicates a fatal error with the Xilinx FPGA.
Patterned blinking after the system has
been running indicates that the system has shut down because it has over heated. To reset the
system, the system should be shut down (remove power) and allowed to cool. When the device is
cool, it may be repowered.
For more information, go to the “REPORT” mode, note the error code and then reference Table 7 -
Report Error Table for the actual errors. If the LED is
OFF
then the M2TE is working as indicated by
the local control panel.

Locking the local control panel interface
To help prevent accidental changes, the local control panel can be locked. Use the LAN GUI and
from the
Select System Setup/Control Panel
menu click on the “Lock” button and then the “Apply”
button. In the “Lock” mode the control panel only displays the current status of the different
“MODES” LEDs. No changes can be made from the local control panel if “Lock”. Any changes would
then have to be made using the LAN GUI.
6.8.1
Setup lock
As stated in above in section 6.8 the user has the ability to lock the M2TE local control panel so that
the operator cannot change any settings while in operation. If the local control panel is locked out,
the only way to unlock it is by using the LAN GUI from the
System Setup/Control Panel
menu.
6.8.2
Locked Modes
This section describes how the “MODE” key works when the local control panel is locked.
