    Figure 1-5. Serial Control Connections (Rear View) Diagnostic Connections The diagnostic connections enable the EC9535 to communicate with the UniConfig application. UniConfig runs on a PC separate from the EC9535 and is used to perform system setup tasks, and configure and monitor EC9535. (See Configuration on page 19.) See also the UniConfig User’s...
  • Page 13: Aes Reference Connections

    In order for EC9535 to communicate with UniConfig through an Ethernet connection, you must configure an IP address for each of EC9535’s control cards. The IP address is set using UniConfig. However, UniConfig runs on a PC and cannot communicate with EC9535 until an IP address has been entered.

    In order for a NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 Family router to communicate with a SMS7000 system controller, the router must be connected to an EC9535. The router is connected using the serial control system connections, located on the rear of the EC9535, and a cable provided by Miranda (WC0152).
  • Page 21: Making Diagnostic Connections

    There are two sets of diagnostic connections: one set is located on the front of the control cards and one set is located on the rear of the EC9535, labeled ‘DIAG’. Which is used is entirely up to you and your facility needs. Usually the control card connection is used when the diagnostic connection to UniConfig is temporary.

    3. Making System Alarm Connections The EC9535 provides a system alarm that notifies you of a malfunction, such as when a fan or power supply is not functioning properly. And alarm can be connected to an external alarm indica- tor that displays visual cues when the alarm is activated.
  • Page 24: Alarm Indicator Equipment

    An external alarm indicator can be created to display visual cues when a failure has occurred on the EC9535 frame. LEDs can be wired to specific pins on a DE9 connector such that each LED indi- cates what specific router module has failed.

    3 levels: video, AES, and time code. A hypothetical device in this system is Camera 1, which consists of video on input port 1 of the video router, AES on input port 5 of the AES router, and time code on input port 8 of the time code router. (The EC9535 does presently include time-code routers.).
  • Page 34 Converter switches one type, or level, of a device’s signal set. Physically Matrix modules are said to be in physically contiguous slots in a EC9535 frame when both the Contiguous inputs and outputs associated with those slots are in numerical sequence. For example, input slots 5 and 6 are physically contiguous because inputs 1-16 and 17-32 are in numerical sequence.
  • Page 35 A device can be both a source and destination. An example of such a device is a VTR. (Super Wide Band). A term originated by Miranda that refers to the ability of a router to pass a wide range of digital bit rates and formats. Miranda’s SWB supports data rates from about 15 Mb/s to 1.5 GB/s.
