Status of all controllable or readable settings/values on installed components
These settings and values include all parameters affecting the signal path (e.g.
processing settings such as EQ, gain, reclocker) or otherwise related to the signal path
(for example, signal presence; reclocker lock; sync signal presence, type, and lock).
Note: Other than physical frame failure alarms (fans, power supplies, and so forth), no
default alarms are specified.
"Logical" configuration of the signal components (e.g. partitioning, offsets)
All parameters may be defined as alarms with user-definable alarm states.
All alarms support user-settable threshold and hysteresis with local and remote alarm
acknowledgement and disable functionality.
The Platinum router is supported by the CCS Navigator architecture with the router module
installed. Also, support for SNMP interface is routed directly to the frame; no gateway is
required.
All switches referenced to the same sync signal will occur within the same vertical interval. If
multiple sync signals are provided to the frame, all switches will occur within the same
number of frames as there are sync signals (i.e., if three sync signals are provided, all
switches will occur within three frames). If no sync signals are present, the switches occur
asynchronously after a reasonable time-out period (less than 0.1 seconds from reception of
command), resulting in deterministic operation. If a sync signal was present and then
removed, the switches will remain timed to that sync for a specified period of time (based
on sync type); this provides robust operation in case of sync failure in the system (for
example, wiring fault, etc.).
The CCS control system supports the Platinum router via the new Navigator architecture
with the Router module installed, and is available for control and monitoring from any
Imagine Communications-or SNMP-supported control application. And with RouterMapper,
the frame supports upload/download of configurations and macro/salvo commands.
All reportable/controllable information is available through a central/core Programming
interface that allows any or all protocol interfaces (terminal, message-based or otherwise) to
monitor, control, or query these values, to the extent that is provided for by each protocol
or interface and that satisfies product feature requirements.
Frame
The "frame" is the physical frame that houses the router and provides the physical structure
to which all hardware components are mounted, power supplies and their associated fans
and means of distributing power, and all fans responsible for airflow through the frame.
Physical information related to this system involves the presence/absence and type of the
installed components. Parametric information related to this system generally describes
status of the physical components operation.
