Installing the ModulesDAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules cannot be installed in a FR6802+DM frame, a FR6800/7000 frame, or a frame without fans. See your frame Installation and Operation Manual for details about installing back modules.

Installing and Removing DAS6801+ ModulesWhen you install both the front and rear modules, ensure that the back module is installed first before plugging in the front module. When you remove both the front and rear modules, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before you remove the rear module. See your frame Installation and Operation Manual and the Safety Instructions and Standards Manual for information about installing and operating the frame and its components.



Installing OP+DAS ModulesFront and back modules in the OPTO+ series have plastic caps that protect the fragile laser connections from damage. You must remove these protective covers before you install the back and front modules (see Figure 2-4).In addition, all fiber optic connections must be inspected and cleaned before they are assembled. Carefully follow the inspection and cleaning steps described in the next pages. Additional safety information appears in “Laser Safety” on page 97.

Caution

Ensure that you remove the fiber optic protective covers from the front and back modules before installation. Take care to avoid touching the fiber optic connections. Thoroughly clean the connections before installation. Remove power from the frame before installing or removing back modules.

Remove these protective covers

Remove this protective cover



Back Module InstallationFollow these steps to install the back module into a frame:1. Remove a blank back plate from the frame.

Do not discard the blank back plates. They may be needed for future configurations.

2. On the side of the back module that inserts into the front module, remove the inner protective cap from the fiber connection (see Figure 2-4 on page 16).

Caution

Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.

3. Follow the inspection and cleaning procedure that begins on page 19.

4. If it is already installed, remove the front module from the slot.5. Install the new back module by inserting the bottom lip into the

required frame slot, and then screwing it into place.Ensure that the EMI gaskets on the right side of the back module remains in place during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit tightly.

6. Apply the adhesive label to the back module if it is supplied separately.

Front Module InstallationFollow these steps to install the front module: 1. Pull out the finger-release screws on the right and left side of the

front panel of the frame, and then open it.2. Locate the front module slot that corresponds with the matching

back module.



3. Gently remove the outer and inner protective caps from the laser connections. (see Figure 2-4 on page 16).

Caution

Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.

4. Follow the fiber cleaning instructions that begin on page 19.5. Ensure that your front module matches with a corresponding back

module of the same name.6. Slide the module into the guides in the frame. 7. When the module edge is flush with the guide, close the extractor

handle.The module is properly seated when its edge is flush with the guide edge and the extractor handle closes.

8. Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.To prevent overheating, keep the front panel closed and all back module plate slots covered during operation.

Front ModuleFollow these steps to remove a front module from a frame:1. Pull out the finger-release screws on the right and left side of the

front panel of the frame, and then open the front panel.2. Grasp the extractor handle on the installed module, and then pull

the module out of its slot. Use the handle as a lever.3. Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.



Back ModuleFollow these steps to remove a back module from a frame:1. Remove the front module, as described above.2. Unscrew the top of the corresponding back module, and then tip it

towards you.3. Pull the bottom lip of the back module from its slot.4. Reinstall a new or blank back plate in the empty slot to ensure

proper frame ventilation.5. Reinstall the front module.

Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic ConnectionsSmall amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. To ensure that your network operates reliably, you must carefully inspect and clean each connection when installing OPTO+ products.Table 2-4 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection. The inspection and cleaning procedure begins on page 21.

Important Points• Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.• Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a

connection.• Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.

Table 2-4. Typical Contaminants

Contaminant CommentsDust particle, 1 micron Can block up to 1% of the light transmission,

creating a loss of 0.05 dB

Dust particle, 9 microns Although microscopic, the particle can completely block the fiber core

Human hair Typically 50 to 75 microns in diameter

Oil Frequently caused by touching

Film residues Can accumulate from vapors or smoke

Powdery coatings Can be left behind after water or other solvents evaporate



• Do not touch the end of a fiber.• Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located

nearby for easy access.• Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.• Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber

end.• Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean

portion of a tissue or swab.• Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull.• Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark.

to avoid touching the cleaning surface of the wipe.2. Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.

Caution

Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.

3. Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.

4. Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.5. If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps on page 17

for back modules, or page 17 for front modules.If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.



Wet CleaningUsing 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber:1. Fold the wipe into a square, about four to eight layers thick. 2. Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8%

alcohol, ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.3. Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the

lint-free wipe. 4. Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the

wipe, removing any residual alcohol.5. Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet

cleaning with another clean section of the lint-free wipe.

Caution

Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.

6. Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.

7. If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is clean. If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer Service for further instructions.If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions on page 17 for back modules, or page 17 for front modules.



Upgrading Module FirmwareFirmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software. CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ or a 6800+ETH module. In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, and so on), the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in “Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure” on page 26.

Upgrading the FirmwareYou can upgrade your 6800+ module’s firmware using the Software Upgrade tool. This tool is included with CCS Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later.

Caution

The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware upgrades. For best results, use the Software Upgrade dialog box to upgrade module firmware.

To upgrade your module’s firmware, follow these steps:1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our

website.2. If the affected module has not been discovered, perform the

Discovery operation, as described in “Discovering Your Module Using CCS Software” on page 57.

NoteInformation about discovering modules can also be found in your CCS software application manual or online help. (If you cannot discover the device, see “Manually Adding a Device to the Discovery or Network Folder” on page 27.)

3. From the Tools menu, select Software Upgrade.



The Software Upgrade dialog box appears.

Figure 2-6. Software Upgrade Tool’s New Transfer Tab

4. On the New Transfer tab, click Add.The Device Selection dialog box opens.

5. Select one or more devices, and then click OK to close the Add Device dialog box.

NoteYou can only add one device from each IP address. All items in a frame have the same IP address.

The selected devices appear in the table under Device Name. These devices will receive the same upgrade package.

6. Before proceeding with the firmware upgrade, you can • Highlight the module’s position in the Navigation window by

clicking Find Device. • View the firmware version currently installed on the module by

clicking Version Info on the Software Upgrade dialog box.

Package Info includes a list of the components contained in the ZIP file.

Version Info lists the firmware version currently installed on the module.



7. Click Browse to select the firmware upgrade package (ZIP file). A standard Windows File Selection dialog box opens.

8. Choose the upgrade ZIP file on a local or network drive. The selected file’s path name appears to the left of the Browse button.

NoteThe extraction process of the ZIP file part of the upgrade process. You do not need to extract the files yourself. You can view the contents of the ZIP file by clicking Package Info on the Software Upgrade dialog box.

9. Click Submit Transfer. A message appears that asks if you want to proceed with the request. If you have multiple devices selected, multiple transfer tasks are submitted—one per device.The transfer now progresses. You can minimize the Software Upgrade dialog box, continue with other tasks, or switch to the Progress tab to view the status of the transfers.

NoteClosing the Software Upgrade dialog box does not affect any of the transfer processes that may be running in the background. If you try to log off or exit the CCS software while a transfer is underway, a message will alert you that processes are still active and asks if you want to terminate these processes.

10. Select the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that all files have correctly updated. The module automatically reboots following an upgrade procedure.



Correcting a Failed Upgrading ProcedureFirmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions, power failures, or if the wrong upgrade package was transferred to the module. These problems can be corrected by upgrading the firmware while the module is in Boot Loader mode. The upgrade will not work unless you put the module in Boot Loader mode.

Note

If you have not already downloaded the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website, do so now.

Putting the Module in Boot Loader ModeFollow these steps to put the module in Boot Loader mode:1. Remove the affected module from the 6800+ frame.

Figure 2-7. Buttons on a Typical Card Edge

2. Set the hex switch to F. 3. While pressing the Navigation toggle switch down, reinsert the

module into the frame.If your device is listed in the Discovery or Network folder, you can continue the firmware upgrade as described in “Upgrading the Firmware” beginning with step 3 on page 23. If not, you must manually add the device to the Discovery or Network folder. To do this, see the next section.

Hex switch (mode select rotary switch)

Navigation toggle switch



Manually Adding a Device to the Discovery or Network FolderIf your device is not listed in the Discovery or Network folder, you must manually add it to these folders. After you add the device, use the Software Upgrade dialog box to continue with the module firmware upgrade.

1. Enter Build mode, and then drag or copy and paste the module’s device icon from the Catalog folder into the Network or Discovery folder.

2. Right-click the device icon, and then select Properties. 3. On the Device tab of the Navigation Properties dialog box, enter

the IP address of the frame that holds the module. (See Figure 2-8.)

Figure 2-8. Navigation Properties Box

Caution

If you make changes in the last field (located above and to the far right of the Set Default button), you may lose your connection to the module. If this happens, you will need to rediscover the module.

Do not make changes in this field

Enter frame IP address here

Frame number=0 Slot number=17Must be set to 1



4. In the third field, enter1.0.[slotnumber]

(where, for example, 1.0.17 would refer to the module in slot 17 of the frame number 0).

5. Close the dialog box.6. You can now continue your firmware upgrade as described in

“Upgrading the Firmware” beginning with step 3 on page 23.



Operating NotesWhen you set the control parameters on the DAS6801+ or OP+DAS, observe the following:• If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters

may also be affected. See “Parameter Interdependencies” on page 41 for more information.

• When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

• For best results, and to ensure SDI output jitter compliance, when video is sourced from low quality video sources such as VCRs, you should use the synchronizer mode (found at Synchronization > Frame Sync Mode > Sync Mode).

Q-SEE Compliant ThumbnailsWhen installed in an FR6802+QXF frame that also contains a 6800+ETH resource module, DAS6801+ module control windows have an extra Streaming tab in CCS Pilot and Navigator (version 3.2.1 or later). Here you can view output video from the module. In addition, video from the DAS6801+, displayed on the 6800+ETH control page at up to three frames per second, and (for CCS Navigator only) on Graphical Navigation pages.

Note

Both DAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules show a DAS6801+ label in CCS Navigator.



Activating DAS6801+/OP+DAS FunctionsThe following sections provide information about the DAS6801+ and OP+DAS special functions: • “Adding a License Key” on page 30• “Audio Test Tones” on page 31• “Audio Embedding Modes” on page 31• “Audio Embedding Errors” on page 38• “AES Non-PCM Processing” on page 38• “Video Frame Synchronization” on page 39• “Audio Synchronization” on page 39• “Audio Path” on page 39• “Test Pattern Generator” on page 40

Adding a License Key To enter a license key to activate 3D decoder functionality, your CCS software must be in Control mode. Follow these steps: 1. Select the DAS6801+ module in the Navigation pane, right click,

and then select Control to open the module’s Control window.

NoteBoth DAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules appear as DAS6801+ modules in Navigator.

2. Select the Parameters tab. 3. Select General in the tree view, and then type your license key in

the License Key field.If your license key is valid, the Installed Options field will display the features that are available on the module, which in this case will be 3D.



Audio Test TonesTable 2-5 describes the frequency and levels of each audio output test tone, available as a selection from each of the Emb Audio Ch (1 to 16) Source Select and AES Ch (1A to 2B) Source Select parameters (see page 65).

Audio Embedding ModesThe DAS6801+/OP+DAS audio embedder component is composed of several smaller subcomponent blocks:• One ancillary data stripper (ADS)• Four audio embedding subcomponentsThe first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding.Following the ADS block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each subcomponent has the ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a predetermined group onto the SDI stream.

Table 2-5. Audio Test Tones

Test Tone Frequency LevelTest Tone 1 400 Hz -20 dBFS

Test Tone 2 1 kHz -20 dBFS





The audio embedding modes are Audio Group (1 to 4) Embedding Mode parameters (see page 63). Table 2-6 describes the Off, Append, OverWrt, and Auto options available from each of the embedding modes.

Append EmbeddingWhen you select Append embedding, the DAS6801+ attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio group to be embedded does not already exist.

Table 2-6. Embedding Mode Options

Options DescriptionOff Deactivates embedding of the selected audio group

Append Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary region (see “Append Embedding” on page 32)

OverWrt Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data (see “Overwrite Embedding” on page 36)

Auto Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet (refer to the Audio Group (1 to 4) Exists parameters on page 63 to determine what audio groups are already present in the incoming SDI signal)



Figure 2-9 shows how append embedding will appear in the ancillary data space when there is no previous audio or other data.

Figure 2-9. In Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 1 When No Other Data is Present

When auxiliary data exists in the ancillary data space, appended audio appears following that data, as shown in Figure 2-10.

When Group 1 audio data exists in the ancillary data space, if you attempt to insert another audio into Group 1, an error will be returned, as shown in Figure 2-11.

Figure 2-11. Append Embedding Mode When Adding Group 1 and a Group 1 Already Exists

When there is pre-existing Group 1 audio in the ancillary data space, and no Group 2 audio, then if you insert Group 2 audio, it will be inserted following the Group 1 audio, as shown in Figure 2-12.

When there is pre-existing Group 2 audio in the ancillary data space, and no Group 1 audio, if you insert Group 1 audio, it will be inserted following the Group 2 audio, as shown in Figure 2-13.

Figure 2-13. Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 2 Following Group 1

An audio group cannot be divided, and in Append embedding, the audio group is always added following the last block in the ADS. If there is not enough room to append the audio group following the last block of auxiliary data or audio in the ADS, the attempt will result in an error, as shown in Figure 2-14.

Overwrite EmbeddingWhen you select Overwrite embedding, the module attempts to overwrite any existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data. This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample distribution, the embedder will mark some audio data packets for deletion (DID word will be set to 180h).

Note

To avoid sample distribution issues, activate the ADS Clean feature (see “ADS Clean Parameter” on page 41).

When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous audio (as in Figure 2-15), this will return an error because there is nothing to overwrite.

Audio Embedding ErrorsTable 2-7 describes audio embedding errors (also see page 63).

To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:• Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be

overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are actually warnings that the appropriate operation is not being performed.

• Do not overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with groups of 24-bit audio samples. The required extended data packet information appended to that group may overwrite a pre-existing audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature provided.

• Do not overwrite embedded groups of 24-bit audio samples with groups of 20-bit audio samples due to existing embedded extended data packets. For this mode, use the ADS Clean feature provided.

AES Non-PCM ProcessingWhen AES is selected as the assignment for an audio input channel and that AES format feedback is detected as Non-PCM, the output channel gain and invert controls that are assigned to that source channel will have no effect on the Non-PCM signal.

Table 2-7. Audio Embedding Error Descriptions

Error DescriptionGroup (1 to 4) Append Embedding Error

Occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI signal (in this case, the embedder will not embed another audio data and control packet of the same audio group, as this will result in incorrect audio sample distribution)

Group (1 to 4) Overwrite Embed Error

Occurs if the embedder is set to Overwrite mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group does not exist in the incoming SDI signal



Video Frame SynchronizationThe frame synchronizer offers two modes of operation: Synchronizer (Sync) mode and Delay mode, which can be chosen using the Frame Sync Mode parameter. (See page 60.)When in Sync mode, the output video is synchronized to the reference video. When in Delay mode, the output video is synchronized to the input video. In both Sync mode and Delay mode, there are several controls to manipulate the output video signal: • Horizontal timing and vertical timing • Adjustable frame delay• Options to determine the output video behavior on loss of input

video, including pass, black, and freeze• Manually freeze output video on first or second field, or on the

whole frame

Audio SynchronizationBy default, DAS6801+/OP+DAS synchronizes analog input audio or AES input audio with timing information from the video frame synchronizer prior to embedding the audio. (See page 64.)You can use the Audio Sync Bypass parameter to output non-synchronized audio.You can set the Audio LOV Output Mode parameter so that, in the event of loss of video, the audio is either passed or muted.

Audio PathYou can assign each of the 16 embedded audio channels, and the 2 AES output channels (with the AES option), to one of up to 10 sources, as listed below: • Ch (1A to 2B)• Ch (1 to 2) Sum • Test Tone 400 Hz• Test Tone 1 kHz, Test Tone 2 kHz, and Test Tone 4 kHz(The parameters are described on page 65.)



Test Pattern Generator When the Test Pattern Enable parameter (listed on page 61) is set to On, you can use the Test Pattern Select parameter to choose from the following: • 75% Color Bars• Modulated Ramp• Multiburst• Pulse & Bars

3D Comb Filtering If your DAS6801+/OP+DAS module has the DAS68OPT+3D option activated, then you will have two additional parameters: • Frame Comb Filter• Field Comb FilterThese parameters are in the parameter list under Decoder > Filtering. (Contact your Customer Service representative to purchase license keys. To activate a license key, see “Adding a License Key” on page 30.)

Note

These parameters do not appear in CCS Navigator if you do not have the option activated. They will always appear in + Pilot Lite, but if the option key is not activated, these parameters will be unavailable.



Parameter InterdependenciesWhen you configure certain parameters, you force a change in other associated parameters. The various conditions that affect parameter availability or settings are described in the following sections: • “ADS Clean Parameter” on page 41• “Channel Word Length” on page 41• “Parameter Ranges Depending on Video Standard Setting” on

page 42• “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 43

ADS Clean ParameterThe ADS Clean parameter removes all data from the Ancillary data space in preparation for embedding audio. Depending on the setting of the ADS Clean parameter (listed on page 63), the Audio Group (1 to 4) Embedding Mode parameters will have different options.

Channel Word LengthThe default value for all Emb Audio Ch (1/2 to 15/16) Word Length parameters is 20-bits. (The parameters are listed on page 65.)If at least one pair is set to 24-bits, the corresponding embedder will enable 24-bits embedding for that audio group.

Changing Parameter SettingsYou can change parameter settings at the card edge for DAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules, or you can change the parameter settings, view read-only parameters, and view alarms and adjust alarm settings using CCS software. See the following topics for more information: • “Changing Parameter Settings using Card Edge Controls” on

page 49• “Changing Parameters Using CCS Software” on page 51

Changing Parameter Settings using Card Edge Controls 1. Rotate the hex switch (mode select rotary switch) to 0.2. Once the hex switch is set to 0, toggle the navigation switch up or

down to select a bank. View the four control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected. (See Table 2-11.)See Table 2-12 on page 53 to view the various banks, hex switch positions, and corresponding parameter options and values.

Recalling Factory Default Parameter SettingsTable 2-12 on page 53 describes all of the parameter settings for the DAS6801+ and OP+DAS, including the original factory defaults. To return this module to its factory default settings, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall following this procedure:1. Rotate the hex switch to 0.2. Toggle the navigation switch to the bank number 0.

Use the control LEDs to verify which bank you have selected, or use an available 6800+ software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your bank selection.

3. Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter F.4. Toggle the navigation switch to On.

Use an available 6800+ software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming the parameter value.

Reading Software and Hardware VersionsThe current software version of your DAS6801+/OP+DAS module can only be viewed using a CCS-enabled control panel or a CCS software application, such as Pilot or + Pilot Lite. See your RCP-CCS-1U Installation and Operation Manual, CCS software application user manual, or CCS software application online help for information on viewing software and hardware version numbers.

Changing Parameters Using CCS SoftwareBefore using software applications to change your module’s parameter settings, you must refresh (+ Pilot Lite) or discover (Pilot and Navigator) the module. Refresh and Discovery are the processes by which your software finds, and then connects to your module.

Identifying Your Module in CCS SoftwareWhether your module is a DAS6801+ or an OP+DAS, when you discover it in CCS Navigator or refresh it in + Pilot Lite, the module will be identified as a DAS6801+. If your module has an optional laser OP+DAS component, the Laser Wavelength parameter displays the wavelength. If the module does not have an optical component, the Laser Wavelength parameter displays Not Installed.



In addition, if the module is an OP+DAS, it will have one additional alarm that standard DAS6801+ modules do not. This alarm is Laser Failed.

Refreshing Your Module Using + Pilot LiteWhen you use + Pilot Lite to change your module’s control parameters, you must “refresh” the control connection between your 6800+ frame and PC. To refresh the connection, from the + Pilot Lite menu bar, select File > Refresh. For information about controlling a device using + Pilot Lite, see your + Pilot Lite User Manual.

Discovering Your Module Using CCS Software To discover your DAS6801+ or OP+DAS module, your Pilot or Navigator software must be in Build mode.1. If the Discovery pane is not open, click Tools > Discovery in the

main menu. A Discovery pane appears, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen.

2. Click Options, and then click Add.3. Enter the IP address of the frame that contains your module, the

frame that contains your ICE6800+ module, or the frame that contains a 6800+ETH module that provides access to your module.

4. Click OK to close the Add IP address dialog box, and then OK again to close the Discovery Options dialog box.

5. Click Start. Pilot or Navigator runs a discovery.

6. When your discovery is complete, Discovery Completed is displayed in the Discovery pane. To continue, click Save. The objects you have discovered are saved to the Discovery folder of the Navigation pane.

You can now switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu. Double-click DAS6801+ in the Navigation pane (OP+DAS modules are also referred to as DAS6801+ in the Navigator pane). The Control dialog box opens displaying the module’s controls.



Setting DAS6801+ and OP+DAS Remote Control Parameters

The following table lists all of the remote control parameters and options for the DAS6801+ and OP+DAS.

Module Status LEDsDAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, module status LEDs on the corner of the module light up if an error is detected. See Figure 2-18 on page 68 for the location of these LEDs, and Table 2-14 for a definition of the LED colors.

Note

If the LED is flashing red, contact your Customer Service representative.

Table 2-14. Module Status LED Descriptions

LED Color MeaningOff There is no power to the module; the module is not

operational.

Green There is power to the module; the module is operating properly.

Red There is an alarm condition.

Flashing red The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault.

Yellow The module is undergoing configuration.



AlarmsIf a major or minor alarm is triggered within your DAS6801+ or OP+DAS module, the Status LED will light red. Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications (for example, + Pilot Lite or Pilot). You can only differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information. The following settings can be made for each alarm within Pilot or Navigator software:

Table 2-15. Alarm Options

Alarm Option EffectEnable/Disable This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If

the alarm is Enabled, an alarm condition will generate an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will be ignored.

Alarm priority This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will be reported as major or minor. The range is 1 - 10. A priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor alarm

Trigger (s) This option determines how long an alarm condition must exist (in seconds) before the alarm is triggered. If the alarm level is reached for less time than the Trigger duration, then the alarm will not trigger. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 (or two hours). If this option is set to 0, the alarm will trigger as soon as the alarm condition exists.

Clear (s) Determines the amount of time the alarm condition must be in abate in order for the alarm to be turned off. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 seconds (or two hours). If this option is set to 0, the alarm will clear as soon as the alarm condition ceases.

Ack When an alarm is active, click here to allow other users on the network to see that you have acknowledged the alarm.

Laser Safety Guidelines

Laser Safety

Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared light normally not visible to the human eye. Although a conventional laser produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high, and it can damage your eyes.If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina. Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4), according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules in this series are designated Class 1.

WARNINGUse of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.


Appendix B: Laser Safety Guidelines

Precautions for Enclosed SystemsIn its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables that interconnect various components of an optical fiber disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions. Also, technicians may be exposed to laser emissions during installation and servicing. Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent beam that decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for eye injury.

Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions: 1. Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers. 2. Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved

training course before performing installation or maintenance.3. Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports of

the modules.

Precautions for Unenclosed SystemsDuring service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow these practices:

1. Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at close distances.

WARNINGEye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the energized fiber end.

CAUTIONOnly authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance, and restoration.



2. Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during installation or servicing.

3. Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.

4. Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems during installation and service.

For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S., or outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.

LabelsThe label shown in Figure B-1 is applicable to Class 1 laser products.

Communication and ControlTroubleshooting Tips

Software Communication ProblemsThe frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with + Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot/Navigator.Solutions• Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.

See your frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification.

• Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame.

• Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame.+ Pilot Lite and CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802+ frame. Legacy 6800 products do not have the “+” symbol on their extractor handles.

• Check for bent pins on the back module by following this procedure:a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module.c. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the

back module (Figure C-1 on page 102), and verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.



d. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.

Figure C-1. Typical Back Module Spring Connector

The frame is powered up, but + Pilot Lite does not communicate with the module.Solutions• Ensure you have installed the correct cables between the PC and the

frame:• A null modem serial cable must be used between a PC and an

FR6802+ frame (not a straight-through cable). At minimum, this requires that pins 2 and 3 are crossed, but pin 5 (ground) is straight-through to pin 5.

• A USB cable must be used between a PC and an FR6802+QXF frame.

• Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame.• + Pilot Lite control is disabled if an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH

control module is installed in the frame.• Set the Frame ID DIP switch settings correctly (the Frame ID DIP

switch is located at the rear of the frame.)• If only one frame is connected, set the DIP switch to 00.



• If multiple frames are used in a daisy-chain, set the DIP switch numbers consecutively to the following:• 00 (frame 1)• 01 (frame 2)• 10 (frame 3• 11 (frame 4)

See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about frame ID switch settings.

• Check that the correct COM port is configured in + Pilot Lite and that another application is not using that COM port.

+ Pilot Lite and CCS software see the frame, but do not find all of the modules.Solutions• Remove any legacy 6800 series products.• Plug your modules in before starting the discovery.• Start your discovery after the frame and all modules have fully

powered up.• Refresh + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh), and ensure that the installed

modules are fully powered up first before discovery.

+ Pilot Lite and CCS Pilot/Navigator do not respond after they have been launched.SolutionClose either + Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot/Navigator. Both programs cannot be running at the same time on the same PC.

+ Pilot Lite and CCS software show a module in the Control window, but cannot control it.Solution1. Set the module’s Local/Remote jumper to Remote.2. Ensure the module name in the Control window matches the

module type in the frame. 3. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is

seated properly and powered up.4. Verify that the Control window indicates the device is ready.



Hardware Communication ProblemsAfter a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate.Solution1. Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure.2. Close the + Pilot Lite or CCS software, and then restart the PC.3. Restart the software application.

The module does not seem to work.Solutions• Ensure the correct frame is powered up.• Verify that all appropriate rear connections are secure.• Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is

seated properly.• Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this

procedure:a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module.c. Inspect the spring connector at the bottom of the back module

(Figure C-1), and verify the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.

d. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
