Replacing a V1300/V1400 series CPU with a V1500CPU
This Tech Note offers suggestions for installing a V1500CPU in place of an existing VPS1300 or VPS1400 Matrix
Switch CPU in either a single or hot-standby configuration. This Tech Note as does not cover database conversion, that
information is provided in other documents.
A V1500CPU system will consist of at least one V1500CPU (computer) and one V1500CDU (communication distribution
unit). Various configurations may have multiple CPUs and CDUs.
Initial Test Procedure:
1.
Unbox and setup all components on a suitable work surface. Connect all components according to the
provided literature. Components should be interconnected using a net switch or hub and appropriate LAN
patch cords.
2.
With a VGA monitor, mouse and keyboard connected to the V1500CPU, apply power to the V1500CPU and
V1500CDU. The V1500CPU should boot up into the default configuration and the V1500 application should
start.
3.
When the CDU is powered, all circuit cards in the V1500CDU should have a red LED indicating power and a
flashing amber LED indicating internal CDU polling. The green LED on the CDU network interface card may be
on at this time. When the V1500 application is running and communicating with the CDU, all CDU cards should
display a green LED.
4.
Either transfer the configuration from the CPU to be replaced, or create a new configuration to match the
intended matrix system
5.
Connect a Vicon keypad to the CDU serial port designated for keypads. Wiring for the serial port is shown
below in Figure 1.
6.
After applying power to the keypad, it should be recognized by the CPU. At this point, a monitor should be
selected and then a camera. Camera selections should be indicated in the keypad's camera display window. If
the configuration contains any partitioning, it may be checked at this time.
7.
Connect a Vicon PTZ camera's data input to the CDU serial port(s) designated for receivers. There may be
multiple receiver serial ports depending on system size. On the serial port designated for addresses 1-256,
camera address 1 will be Camera 1 for the keypad call up. On the serial port designated for cameras 257-512,
camera address 1 will be Camera 257 for the keypad call up. Test all serial ports for camera PTZ operation.
8.
If the Host Port is to be used, it may be tested at this time by connecting the host computer to the V1500CDU
RS232 serial port, according to Figure 2.
