ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Status Lights
OK Light
When flashing, the “OK” light indicates that the CPU card is successfully
communicating with the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS).
IPC (Interprocessor Communication) Light
The “interprocessor communication” (IPC) light only operates when there are
two CPU cards in the matrix. When lit, the light indicates that the two CPU
cards are exchanging information.
Master Light
An Eclipse Omega system can have two CPU cards, although the system will
operate with only one. If the primary card becomes unavailable for any reason,
the second card can serve as backup while the primary card is repaired or
replaced.
The “master” light illuminates on whichever CPU card is currently serving as
master. If there is a backup CPU card in the matrix, its “master” light will not
illuminate if the primary card is acting as master.
LAN A Light
When you connect a local area network (LAN) to the matrix’s “LAN A” port, the
CPU card’s “LAN A” LED lights to indicate a connection to the Eclipse
Configuration System LAN A.
LAN B Light
When you connect a second local area network to the matrix’s “LAN B” port, the
CPU card’s “LAN B” LED lights to indicate a connection to the Eclipse
Configuration System (ECS) LAN B.
Sync Light
When you connect multiple Eclipse matrices together, the “sync” light
illuminates to indicate that the matrices are connected and synchronized.
SI Light
The “SI” light flashes to indicate communications activity.
Configuration “CONFIG” Button
The CPU card can hold four complete system configurations in its operational
memory. When you tap the “CONFIG” button, the number of the currently
active configuration (either 1, 2, 3, or 4) appears in the dot-matrix display.
Each time you subsequently tap the button, the next configuration number in
the series appears in the dot-matrix display. The numbers cycle forward until all
of the choices have been displayed, then start again at “1.”
