9400-SERIES PRODUCT MANUAL
Corrective Action
Make certain card-edge switches SW1-1 and
SW1-2 are both set to Off.
If switches are inadvertently set to On,
card-edge enable overrides ability to use
remote control. See Setting Card Switches (p.
2-1) in Chapter 2, Installation and Setup.
If channel is to pass a non-SMPTE signal,
make certain:
• EQ/Automute is set to Off (unchecked box in
DashBoard)
• Reclocker Bypass is set to On (checked box
in DashBoard).
Reclock and Automute are specifically intended
to optimize transport of valid SMPTE SDI
signals. Disable these functions as described in
the operating instructions if transport of
non-SMPTE signals is desired.
If channel is not to be used (including channels
not populated on cards having less than four
fiber channels), disable alert/alarm propagation
by making certain the Dis. Alarm (disable
alarm) checkbox corresponding to the channel
is checked.
Check fiber media for damage or dirty/improper
connection between media and fiber optic
module.
