Connecting The Rs-232/Rs-422 Cable To Bme #0; Connecting The Ac Power Cable(S) To The Bme(S); Applying Ac Power To The Bme(S); 6A. Bme Power-Up Verification - Extron electronics 3200s User Manual

Installation, cont'd

4. Connecting the RS-232/RS-422 Cable to BME #0

Connect the cable from the Host PC computer serial port to the RS-232/RS-422
connector on the rear panel of BME #0 as shown in Figure 2-2.B below (Item 3).
After the BME(s) have been virtualized, they can be controlled through this
connection using a PC Host or from a touch screen or any other user-supplied
controlling device, such as AMX, Crestron, etc., that is capable of generating the
proper commands.

5. Connecting the AC Power Cable(s) to the BME(s)

Each BME has its own internal power supply. Connect an AC Power cord to the AC
power receptacle on each BME (Item 4 in Figure 2-2.B). Connect the power cord
plug to an AC power source.

6. Applying AC Power to the BME(s)

Each BME has a power ON/OFF toggle switch on the rear panel just above the AC
power cord receptacle. BME #0 must be powered ON at the same time or after all
other BMEs are ON. Press each power switch to the ON (1) position, Go to 6A on
Page 2-4.

6A. BME Power-Up Verification

The Diagnostics LEDs shown in Figure 2-3.A are located on the front panel of the
Matrix 6400 Audio BME. The normal state of the LEDs after power-up is Primary
+V and -V LEDs ON. If the BME includes a Redundant power supply, the
Redundant +V and -V LEDs
will also be ON. If the Primary
power supply fails, its LEDs
will be OFF and the
Redundant LEDs will blink.
The System Status LED will
initially blink indicating that
internal housekeeping is
occurring, when it goes solid
ON, the system is ready.
