Page 11: Chapter One - Introduction
Main Features Overview The FDC3300 may be employed either as a simple, single-input, ten-output signal distributor for non- critical applications, or, by making use of its intelligent dual-input failover switching and redundant power supply capabilities, high-availability signal distribution systems for top tier commercial and military applications may be efficiently implemented. -
Page 12: Free Flash Upgrades
C H A P T E R O N E Free FLASH Upgrades Firmware is stored in non-volatile FLASH memory, so the FDC3300 can be easily upgraded in the field using the local RS-232 port. We make all firmware upgrades for our products available to our customers free of charge. - Page 13 Functional Block Diagram Signal Amp/ Output Level Output 1 Detect Signal Amp/ Output Level Output 2 AC-DC/ Diode Detect AC/DC A +12V DC-DC Fault AC-DC/ -12V AC/DC B Signal Amp/ Detect DC-DC Output Level Output 3 Detect Signal Amp/ Output 4 Output Level Detect Input A...

DC power source. Connect the “-” terminal to the negative output of the DC power source. Note that the FDC3300 has a “floating” internal power supply, therefore either the positive or nega- tive output of the DC power source can be referenced to earth ground. This unit will not operate if the +/- connections are reversed;... -
Page 18: Connect Serial I/O To Host Computer
If the source(s) of your reference signal(s) has (have) compatible TTL alarm output(s) that you would like to use to force signal input switching on your FDC3300, connect these using coaxial cables to the Disable A and/or Disable B input(s) on the FDC3300. The factory default for the FDC3300 dis- setting is to ignore these inputs. -
Page 19: Chapter Three - Control And Status Commands
Chapter Control and Status Commands This chapter describes the FDC3300 control and status commands. The FDC3300 supports com- mands for performing initialization/setup and for monitoring the performance and status of the unit. The serial I/O port physical and electrical characteristics are defined as well. -

Page 31: Appendix C - Network Port Option
Appendix Network Port Option This option allows you to monitor and control your FDC3300 via TCP/IP. Specifically, the telnet, ssh and snmp protocols are supported. The snmp support is MIB II compliant, however no enterprise MIB is implemented. Either telnet or ssh may be used to control and monitor the instrument state, but both protocols cannot be active at the same time. -

Telnet only. Upgrading via SSH is not supported. What You Need To Perform the Upgrade You will need a terminal program which can connect to your FDC3300 via Telnet and supports file uploading using protocols XMODEM 128 with CRC or XMODEM 1K with CRC. These are very common file transfer protocols and should be supported by virtually any terminal program. -
