    Section Introduction The CM-4400 Jupiter Control Module (CM) is designed to control Grass Valley Routing switchers, specific third party routers, and certain other RS- 422 devices. The devices to be operated are connected to the CM-4400, which is in turn connected to Jupiter control panels. The CM-4400 is config- ured using the Jupiter file server (Figure 3 on page 33).

The IP address that is defined as the Base IP is assigned to the first controller in the system when loading the Jupiter Control Software.
  • Page 41: Connecting The Jupiter File Server

    Connecting the Jupiter File Server The Jupiter File Server PC must be on the local Jupiter LAN and running Windows XP Professional with at least Service Pack 2. Grass Valley recom- mends that the Jupiter File server be a separate computer that is dedicated for Jupiter.

These features include: • Alarms • Single CM-4400 • Redundant CM-4400 • Redundant Units Alarm Modes The CM-4400’s alarm system will start in the following conditions: •...
  • Page 46: Alarms In A Single Cm-4400 Installation

    Section 2 — Hardware Installation Alarms in a Single CM-4400 Installation If the master alarm is asserted by the main CPU watchdog timer (and assuming that the power supply is operating properly), the CM-4400 will be rebooted automatically. Alarms in a Redundant CM-4400 Installation For additional protection, a redundant CM-4400 can be installed.
  • Page 47: Replacing A Failed Redundant Unit

    CM-4400 Control System’s Protection Features Replacing a Failed Redundant Unit Protection can be further enhanced by maintaining a third Control Module (CM) as a replacement or stand-by unit (See Figure 10). Should the master fail, the redundant CM-4400 would assume control; the third CM-4400 would then be installed on the network and the failed master removed.
  • Page 48 Section 2 — Hardware Installation A fault condition is indicated by a “00,” “01,” or “FF” indication on the front panel LED display, or, in the case of a failed power supply, no illumi- nated lamps. Router control should have been switched to the other CM. Verify that control has switched by looking for the green Activate lamp.

    1023 inputs or outputs. Determining the Protocol Matrix and Level When a Third-Party switcher of this type and a Grass Valley Crosspoint Bus switcher are entered on the Switcher Description table, an offset of 100 can be used to avoid having the same level numbers for both switchers.
  • Page 300 Appendix B — Connecting Legacy and 3rd Party Routers For example, in Figure 237 the Physical level value on row 7 is 102. Figure 237. Physical Level on the Switcher Description Table Physical level All values over 100 are offset by 100; hence, the Physical level value would be 2.
