  • Page 6: Vialitehd And Vialite Classic Compatibility

    HRK3-HB-7 V HD 3U CHASSIS ANDBOOK ViaLiteHD and ViaLite Classic compatibility The RF and optical interfaces of most ViaLiteHD and ViaLite Classic modules are compatible. However the physical size, mounting systems and control of the modules are different, so it will not be possible to fit ViaLiteHD module in a ViaLite Classic chassis or housing and vice versa.

    HRK3-HB-7 V HD 3U CHASSIS ANDBOOK ViaLiteHD System Components ViaLiteHD 19” chassis Description The 19” chassis is suitable for 19” rack mounting. There are two versions, one for alternating current (AC) power and one for direct current (DC) power. The chassis accommodates up to thirteen (5HP) plug-in RF/data modules, one (7HP) control module and two (6HP) plug-in power supplies. The hot-swappable, dual power supply capability provides full redundancy and maximum reliability to avoid traffic loss in the event of a power supply failure.
  • Page 8: Module Bias Feed

    HRK3-HB-7 V HD 3U CHASSIS ANDBOOK 4.3.2 Module bias feed It is possible to provide a bias voltage from the modules to connected devices. Dependent on module type, this can be either internally sourced from the module or provided via the “Power Concentrator” connector J4. The current limit is dependent on module type fitted. Alarm Management The alarm strategy on the ViaLiteHD system caters for all levels of Alarm and Monitoring System complexity from simple module failure LED indication, to local and remote end alarm notification and redundancy switching.

    HRK3-HB-7 V HD 3U CHASSIS ANDBOOK 4.4.4 Module Alarm Defeat In some installations, the chassis might not be fully populated with modules. In this case, the module alarm output for the vacant positions would register a continuous alarm state and the Summary Alarm Output would also register an alarm condition. It is very important to ensure that the DIP switches on the Summary alarm relay module or software alarm mask of the SNMP control module for chassis positions where modules are “present”...
