Likely, the only item we need to check is DME assignments and FM LAN. Please press the grey solid
button labeled "SWITCHER ASSIGN" (grey solid buttons are either shortcut buttons that take you to
another menu or sub-menu buttons). You can also just enter menu page 7312.2 (the decimal denotes a
submenu). This menu will let us "attach" DME chassis to a certain switcher processor. Towards the
st
bottom of the screen, make sure DME1 (1 DME) is lit and if you have a second DME chassis (channels 5-
nd
8) also press DME2 (2 DME). You cannot assign more than 2 DME chassis to a single switcher. The
other DMEs (3 & 4) are only there if you had a second switcher (SWR2) on the LAN.
Lastly there is a button labeled "FM Data Port Enbl". In the LAN wiring section you should have
connected an Ethernet cable to the FM DATA RJ-45 and connected it to the Ethernet switch that you
marked DATA LAN. If you did this, please turn on this button. This will speed up Frame Memory
communication. If you did not hook this cable up, please do so and turn on this feature. DO NOT turn
on this button without the cable hooked up. You will not be able to load Frame Memory stills or clips.
Look again at the above menu. The FM DATA PORT ENBL button has text that says "Undecided." Also in
the upper table, the FM Data Port setting is Enabled but highlighted in Yellow. This means that these
changes have not yet been implemented. Please return to menu page 7312 and press the EXECUTE
button. This will finalize the changes.
