The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting system, also known as a SMPTE “alarm”, provides indication if one or more frame modules encounter a fault or an abnormal condition. The CMA-8011A module provides a jumper to enable SMPTE-269M fault reporting. The card connects by means of an internal interface circuit to an auxiliary telco connector on RossGear 8000 series frames.
Jumper Setup If fault reporting for the CMA-8011A is desired, use jumper JP5 - FAULT REPORT (269M) to set up the card. 1. To access the jumper, remove the card from the frame by pressing down the white card ejector tab and pulling the card from the frame slot.
