Page 5: Introduction
Indigo 1SE-DP - Ethernet capable with active smart CPU. No integrated control panel nor display. Has dual redundant power supplies Each 1U frame can be used with any single or double slot rear module in the Crystal Vision Indigo range. There is a single slot for the one or two plug-in power supplies. - Page 6 Crystal Vision Introduction There are three cooling modes: normal, quiet and maximum. With normal cooling both fans run continuously, increasing in speed as the temperature inside the frame goes up. Quiet mode is intended for a lightly loaded frame in an environment where ambient noise is a concern.
- Page 7 Note : Serial RS422 control from Statesman or third party applications is no longer supported. All connections should be made via Ethernet. Crystal Vision AE and SE frames running v4.6 software or later support Statesman, ASCII and HTTP/JSON control protocols.

The card ID should be unique within any frame. - Page 50 Crystal Vision Virtual Cards A group of controls is defined by the tag pair <controlgroup> and </controlgroup>. The same tags are used at all levels. VisionWeb uses a complex set of rules to optimise the presentation of groups of controls, but typically different levels of <controlgroup>...
- Page 51 Crystal Vision Virtual Cards The remaining changes take place in the 'interface' section: • The contents of the 'snmpcontrol' section should be deleted. In principle you can have SNMP control of a virtual card, but SNMP control of a user-created virtual card does not make much sense and the file is smaller and simpler without it.
- Page 52 Crystal Vision Virtual Cards So for the single MultiLogo ‘Play Mode’ control, we could edit the template XML file as follows: The original control id has been replaced with 10 and re-directed to slot 4 control 170. Otherwise the XML code for the MultiLogo ‘Play Mode’ control is the same. The control has been included as the only control in the group ‘MultiLogo’.

Page 53: Check The Edited File Against The Xml Schema
If you are using a dedicated XML editor, it should be able to check the xml file for validity against the Crystal vision schema file (CrystalVision.xsd). The preferred 'Oxygen' xml editor does this automatically. The schema file is included with the XML files download from the Registered Area on the Crystal Vision web site. -
Page 54: Transfer The File To The Frame

Page 88: Snmp Quick Start Guide
Appendix 1 12.3 SNMP Quick Start Guide Introduction This should provide the information you need to set up and check a Crystal Vision frame for operation with an SNMP manager. Frame Setup The frame must have a licence for SNMP operation for it to respond properly to SNMP requests. - Page 89 Check that the ‘Licenses’ section shows “Found a License for SNMP”. If no licence is found contact Crystal Vision to get an SNMP licence for this frame. Once the frame is licensed for SNMP, you will need to set the address to which you want it to send unprompted SNMP messages (traps).
- Page 90 Crystal Vision Appendix 1 The SNMP Agent in the frame is highly configurable. However, the default settings are correct for most systems and it is likely that only the ‘trapsink’ address needs to be changed. Click and drag to select the trapsink IP address and type in the IP address of the SNMP manager being used as the trap receiver.
- Page 91 Crystal Vision Appendix 1 Checking The frame should now be ready for SNMP operation. You can check this by setting a SNMP Manager, or MIB browser, to the frame IP address and performing an SNMP walk of the ‘private’ section of the Object ID tree.
- Page 92 Crystal Vision Appendix 1 Resetting the Frame The frame can be reset from the web page. From the home page select the ‘Reset’ tab. Click on the button to restart the frame. Note that if the frame has been set to DHCP it may come back at a different IP address.
