Model 400-12T Back Panel
If both AC and DC power sources are connected to a Model 400,
the unit will be powered by the AC mains supply. Only if the AC
mains source fails will a load be placed on the DC source. This
allows a source of DC, typically a battery pack, to serve in a backup
capacity. With this arrangement normal SDI-over-fiber transport
operation can continue even if AC mains power is lost.
Remote Monitoring and Configuration
The Model 400 has an embedded web server that allows the user
to monitor system status through any web-enabled device such
as a personal computer or smartphone. System status can also
be communicated using SNMP, making it possible to integrate
the unit’s monitoring information into a networked alarm and
control software application.
The Model 400’s status screen lets a user or supervisor check for
the presence of AC and DC power sources as well as individual
SDI input channel status, signal rate, and whether the optical
transmitters are enabled. The optical output power of each
electrical-to-optical (E2O) channel is reported directly in dBm. The
optical receive power (in dBm) of each optical-to-electrical (O2E)
channel is also displayed. This is a particularly useful feature for
remote system troubleshooting.
The embedded web server also provides a configuration menu
allowing a variety of monitoring parameters to be set. These
include alarms for loss of AC or DC power, over-temperature, and
low optical transmit and receive levels. Additional menu screens
provide access to SNMP, network IP address, and front-panel
display configurations. Advanced features include the ability
to remotely update the Model 400’s system firmware via the
Ethernet connection.
Simple Installation
While the Ethernet-accessed monitoring and configuration func-
tions enhance the utility of the Model 400 they are not necessary
for SDI-over-fiber transport operation. Model 400 units will deliver
reliable, high-quality performance with no other user actions
except for making SDI-over-coaxial cable, fiber, and power con
-
nections. All back-panel connectors are clearly labeled for simple,
fast, and intuitive use. And the front-panel display provides direct
access to the unit’s most important status information.
