Operation Manual

24
 Hardware Version: This indicates the board version number. Balanced audio support is
available for version 4 and later. All other functionality is the same across hardware
versions.
 Rear Module: This indicates the status of the Rear I/O Module. It can have one of the
following states:
o OK: The Rear Module is the correct module for the B264. In the B264 this
indicator will be always green.
o Not Installed: The B264 is not connected to a rear module. The card is
operating normally, but it will not be useful as there are no input and output
connections to it.
o Wrong Module: The B264 is connected to a rear module that was not
designed for it (most likely from another openGear® vendor). Depending on the
signals present on that module, there may be a small chance of damage to the
B264; Niagara Video recommends that this situation be rectified immediately.
This alarm will cause the front status LED to turn red. A card with hardware
version 3 or lower will show this alarm for the balanced audio rear I/O panel.
 Analog Audio Input: This indicates the type of analog audio input (balanced or
unbalanced). This field will have an indication of unknown for
unrecognized/unsupported rear I/O panels.
 Card Uptime: Indicates how long the card has been running since it was last rebooted.
 Ambient Temperature: Temperature, in degrees centigrade, of the air intake of the card
(measured at the front edge of the card).
 Internal Temperature: Temperature, in degrees centigrade, at the back of the card.
 MDP Core Temperature: Temperature, in degrees centigrade, of the core MediaStorm
processing element.
The openGear® frame is designed to operate in environments with up to 40
o
C ambient. There is
typically a 5
o
C temperature raise from the external ambient to the “Ambient Temperature”
measured by the B264. If that measurement is at 45
o
C or higher, action must be taken to cool
down the ambient temperature.
The B264 modular versions are designed to operate in environments with an ambient
temperature between 0 and 50
o
C.
Network Tab
The Network Tab allows for configuration/monitoring of the two streaming Ethernet ports, and
optional configuration of DNS servers.
Network Configuration Tab
The Network Configuration Tab is further divided into the following tabs:
 The Interfaces tab is used to set the individual parameters for each of the streaming
Ethernet ports.
 The DNS tab is used to optionally configure DNS servers.
