Ethernet Connection Ports – With stand-alone SSC3 configuration systems, there are two rear panel
RJ45 connectors that interface the system controller circuitry internal to the video router to an Ethernet
communication port. These are the top connectors on each side of the Cougar rear panel and they are
module slot specific, as shown by Figure 2-3. Viewed from the rear, the connector on the right-hand
side of the router is the Ethernet port for the controller installed in the primary controller slot, and the
left-hand connector is the port for the secondary slot. Connection is through standard Cat5x cable; LEDs
on the connector indicate communication activity.
Sync Reference Connectors - There is a pair of BNC connectors on the rear panel for connecting up to
two independent sources of sync reference to the Cougar3. Sync source applied to Input 1 connector is
defined as the default sync source. Both inputs are self-terminating. Through controller configuration,
either input may be defined as the sync reference source for any router output.
Strobe Level Select Switch – When the Cougar3 is installed as a component of a larger routing system
under command of an external system controller, the frame must be assigned a strobe level within the
system, using the Strobe Level Select Switch, Figure 2-2. Any strobe level between 1 and 15 may be
selected by rotating the switch to the hexadecimal digit for the desired level setting. To set the router as
strobe level 1, set the switch to position 1; to set level 15, set the switch to position F, etc.
Power Cord Connector Access - Each power supply/controller module is fitted into a chassis slot
(either slot 1 or slot 2). When a power supply is installed, its 3-prong input power receptacle is
accessible through this opening on the frame rear panel. Each power supply carries its own dedicated
power receptacle; input power is not bussed between modules. When two power supplies are used (for
redundancy) a separate power cord must be attached to each receptacle through its access port. Each
access port is equipped with a harness device that secures the cord to help prevent accidentally
disconnecting the frame from its power source. Cougar3 typically ships from the factory with power
cord and securing harness pre-installed.
If you need to remove power cord for any reason, loosen thumb screw on cord harness and pull cord
from its mating connector.
Replace cord by aligning mating connectors, firmly seat connector and secure cord with harness and
thumb screw.
Do not remove power cord while connected to a power source.
Local Control Panel Ethernet Port – With stand-alone SSC3 installations equipped with a local
control panel in place of the front cover, this RJ45 connector, Figure 2-3, is the dedicated access port for
connecting the local PNet control panel to an Ethernet interface. Connection is through a standard RJ45
connector for use with Cat5x cable. LEDs on connector indicate communication activity.
Video Signal I/O Connectors - 64 BNC connectors for connecting 32 video input signals and 32 output
destinations to the Cougar3 router.
