AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 2.5 Rear view Figure 1: Rear view The following service connectors can be found on the rear of the Modular AES/EBU Digital Audio Router: − AC Mains A: AC mains power supply. − AC Mains B: AC mains power supply (if redundant PSU is installed). − Serial A1 and A2: RS-232 or RS-422 for external control protocols. − Serial B1 and B2: RS-232 or RS-422 for external control protocols (if redundant SysCon is installed).
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 3 Modules inside the Modular AES/EBU Digital Audio Router In order to get an overview of the parts that form the Modular AES/EBU Digital Audio Router this chapter will highlight some of the main components. GYDA-VX (not shown in picture) SysCon Power Supplies X-point Modules Figure 2 3.1 How to access the modules All active modules are accessible through the front of the router frame. If service or inspection is required, open the unit from the front.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 Figure 3 3.3.1 Module insertion In order to insert a power supply module one must insert the module via the special plastic guide rails into its position. Once the module is inserted, fix the module by lifting up the handle on the front and pushing it to the upright position. 3.3.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 − The PSU module A alarm is formed by contact between Pin 3 and Pin 6 (Green pair) − The PSU module B alarm is formed by contact between Pin 1 and Pin 2 (Orange pair) Figure 4 3.4 System Controller – SysCon Each VikinX.128 frame comes with either one or two system controller cards, SysCon. One SysCon is necessary to control the router; dual redundant SysCon is an option. SysCon can be enabled for 3rd party control interfaces.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 Figure 6 On the top of the card tray, there is a hole above each module slot. When the tip of the handle is just below this hole, start to push the handle downwards as in the figure. The tip of the handle enters the hole and the card is locked and proper contact ensured when the handle is in downright position. Do not use excessive force; the card should enter easily – proper insertion is almost effortless. 3.4.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 The LEDs indicate the following: Diode Status Red LED Card error. Yellow LED Not applicable. Green LED Overall status of the card is OK Eth Not applicable. Full duplex connection. Half duplex connection. Abnormal situation: no functional error, but a situation that requires attention. See also chapter 6. High load on the µController. May occur during system start up and software reconfigurations / upgrades. Not applicable. Normal situation.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 If it is necessary to remove and/or insert a CF card, the following must be done: Compact Flash card Figure 10 1. Remove the SysCon card from its slot, according to the description earlier in this manual. 2. Slide the CF card out of its socket, and insert the new CF card into the socket. 3. Insert the SysCon card into its slot, according to the description earlier in this manual.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 Your GYDA-VX card(s) may be inserted in any of the two dedicated GYDA slots (A) and (B) (see Figure 2). Figure 12 3.5.1 Card insertion The GYDA-VX card is inserted in the exact same way as the SysCon card. See chapter 3.4.1. 3.5.2 Card removal The GYDA-VX card is removed in the exact same way as the SysCon card. See chapter 3.4.2. 3.5.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 3.6.1 Card insertion To insert an X-point card, slide the module along the plastic guide rails into its position. On both sides of the card tray there is a hole next to each module slot. Use the two red handles, which are located on the front of the module to seat the module. When the tip of both handles is just next to these holes, start to push the handles simultaneously inwards the card.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 3.6.4 Service switches and Reset button There are two slide-switches and one push-button switch on the card, as shown in the figure below. Reset button Service switches Figure 15 The push-button switch is the RESET switch. When this button is pushed and released, the µController of the X point card resets and restarts its operation with its default settings, or the settings stored in EEPROM.
AD6464M / AD128128M Rev. 5 4 Router communication You gain access to router for communication purposes by connecting either the router’s serial port to your computer and/or by using an Ethernet connection. 4.1 Serial connection Connection can by made trough the serial port(s) of the router; see also Chapter 1 for connection details. The communication parameters are configurable. Please refer to the protocol documentation of the appropriate communication/control protocol.
