The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting system, also known as a SMPTE “alarm”, provides indication if one or more frame modules encounter a fault or an abnormal condition. The ADA-8504 module provides a jumper to enable SMPTE-269M fault reporting. The card connects by means of an internal interface circuit to an auxiliary telco connector on RossGear 8000 series frames.
