Phoenix system. The card is not limited to any single data type so that various formats can be mixed on a single card. As with other GE Security MPD products, data translation capabilities are included. Tools and materials required The data modules are held in place with simple thumbscrews with screwdriver slots. -
Page 9: Install Data Module
Each data module is shipped with (four) RJ45 cables and (four) breakout boxes to aid in connecting to the Phoenix. Use the tables below to determine pinout information for your application. GE Security recommends using shielded cable for all single ended applications and twisted shielded cable for all differential formats. Wire gauge is dependent on copper run length. -

Page 13: Installing The Ethernet Module
Installing the Ethernet Module Overview The Phoenix A8911ETH Ethernet module provides Ethernet connectivity to the Phoenix system. Each module has three RJ-45 ports supporting full-duplex 10/100Base-T interfaces. Each port also supports Auto-Negotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X selection. Unlike other modules used in the Phoenix system, the ethernet module does not use “chan- nels”. -
Page 14: Connect Ethernet Module
2. Connect: Connect Ethernet-capable equipment directly to the Ethernet module using CAT5 twisted- pair cables with male RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Do not use breakout boxes. Standard CAT5 cabling used for Ethernet is available with either straight-through or crossover connections. Either variety may be used with the Ethernet module. The auto-MDI/MDI-X feature of each port automatically detects the type of cable connection to establish link. -
Page 15: Installing The Video Module
Installing the Video Module Overview The Phoenix A8900VI input module is capable of inserting up to four baseband, composite video signals per card. A maximum of four cards can be installed in any node, allowing up to 16 inputs per node. The Phoenix A8905VO output module is capable of outputting up to 4 base band, composite video signals per card. -
Page 16: Connection Instructions
Connection instructions Video Inputs: Connect video source equipment such as cameras or matrix switcher outputs to the video input modules using the BNCs on the back of the panel. Confirmation of video presence can be confirmed on the front panel LCD. The channel order is sequential, beginning with the top BNC in slot 5 as Channel 1, working vertically such that the bottom BNC in slot 5 is assigned Channel 4, and the top BNC in slot 6 is assigned Channel 5. -

1. Turn on power and check status Turn on the power to the Phoenix chassis using the switches on the Power Supply modules. If two power supplies are installed, turn on both switches. The LEDs perform a brief test when the chassis powers up: all seven LEDs turn green and then turn red. After the test has completed the LEDs indicate the status of the power supplies and optics. - Page 27 A brief initialization routine is displayed on the LCD when the chassis powers up. A splash screen showing the GE logo and Phoenix product name is displayed after the routine completes. After approximately one minute of inactivity the LCD display will turn off.
