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 SEA-8008 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.
Jumper Setup If fault reporting for the SEA-8008 is desired, use jumper JP2 - FAULT REPORT (269M) to set up the card. 1. To access the jumper, remove the card from the frame by pressing down the white card ejector tab and pulling the card from the frame slot.
