Front-Panel Display Page
Descriptions
The following sections provide information
about the Model 5401A’s front-panel menu
pages. Additional details can be found in the
Model 5401A Configuration section of this
guide. Refer to Appendix D for the menu
structure diagram.
Row One
There are five display pages associated with
the top row which we’ll refer to as row one.
They relate to the timing status of the as-
sociated Dante network, the Model 5401A’s
selected internal timing, parameters related
to the sync input, and display of timing pa-
rameters that can be useful for factory trou-
bleshooting.
Dante Sync Status Primary PTPv1: This
menu page will display the PTPv1 sync
status for the Dante primary interface. It
will show Leader, Follower, Link Down, or Er-
ror. The management webpages should be
utilized to observe the Model 5401A’s com-
plete sync status. Using the Home and Main
webpages, the status of the Dante primary
and Dante secondary interfaces, including
their support for PTPv1 and PTPv2, will be
displayed.
Current Clock Source: This menu page will
display which timing source is actively be-
ing used by the Model 5401A’s circuitry. The
possibilities are Internal, Internal (Failover
Active), Sync Input, Dante, Dante (Failover
Active), and ---. Should the text Failover
Active be present it will alternate on and off
as a warning of an abnormal condition. This
would typically warrant intervention.
Sync Input Type & Status: This display
page shows two parameters. The top line will
show the type of input that has been config-
ured for the sync input. The possibilities are
Word Clock, Video, or 10 MHz. The bottom
line will show the status of the sync input
circuitry. The possibilities are Locked,
Unlocked, Standby, and Idle.
Sync Input Termination: This menu page
will display the status of a terminating imped-
ance being applied to the sync input BNC
jack. The two possibilities are Off and On.
Phase Detector Deviation (Factory Use):
This menu page will display two numbers
related to how well the Model 5401A’s inter-
nal logic circuitry is “locking” to an external
timing reference. The information on this
menu page will only be relevant if the factory
has been contacted in regards to a technical
issue.
Row Two
Row two has five front-panel menu pages
that involve the management IP address and
related parameters. Two are display-only
and three allow changes to be made.
Current Management IP Address: This
menu page will show the IP address as
-
sociated with the Model 5401A’s internal
management web server. This address can
be assigned automatically using the DHCP
protocol or, if a DHCP server is not available,
using the IPv4 link-local protocol. (An IP ad-
dress that has the format of 169.254.x.x was
assigned using IPv4 link-local.) The manage-
ment IP address can also be manually as-
signed with a fixed or static IP address. If no
Ethernet connection has been made the text
Link Down will be displayed.
If the Model 5401A’s network configuration in
the Dante Controller application is selected
for Switched or Redundant then this menu
page will show the IP address that’s associ-
ated with the connection made to the Model
5401A’s management RJ45 jack.
If the Model 5401A’s network configuration
in the Dante Controller application is select-
ed for Switched+Mgmt then the IP address
that is displayed will be associated with a
