This safety manual contains important information about the safe installation and operation of 6800+ series products.
Installing 6800+ Modules

Required Frames and Back Connector Types
AFD6800+ modules have double-width back connectors that can be installed in an FR6802+XF, FR6822+, or FR6802+QXF frame. AFD6800+ modules cannot be installed in an FR6802+DM frame, a FR6800/7000 frame, or a frame without fans. See your 6800+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for details on installing back connectors in a frame. A FR6802+RM (Rear Support Extension Rails for 6800+ series frames) option is recommended for the AFD6800+ modules. See your 6800+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for installation instructions.
Installing and Removing AFD6800+ Modules

These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. However, if installing both front and rear modules, ensure that the back module is installed first before plugging in the front module. When removing both the front and rear modules, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame first, before removing the rear module.
See your 6800+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for information about installing and operating a frame and its components. See the 6800+ Safety Instructions and Standards Manual for important information about safely installing your module.
Once you have installed your AFD6800+ modules, you can connect them to the appropriate input and outputs.
Making Connections
Once you have installed the AFD6800+ module, you can connect it to the appropriate input and outputs.
Upgrading Module Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software on 6800+ modules. 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. Note: Firmware for the AFD6800+ must be updated in Boot Loader mode. In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, etc.), 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 10.
Upgrading the Firmware
You can upgrade your 6800+ modules 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 tool to upgrade module firmware. To upgrade your modules firmware, follow these steps: 1 2 Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your CD-ROM. Remove the module from the 6800+ frame.

Press Browse... to select the software upgrade package (ZIP file). A standard Windows File Selection dialog opens.
Choose the upgrade ZIP file on a local or network drive. The selected files path name is displayed in the edit box to the left of the Browse button. Note: The extraction process on the ZIP file is handled as 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.
10
Press Submit Transfer... A dialog box opens, requesting confirmation that you want to proceed with the request. If you have multiple devices selected, multiple transfer tasks are submittedone per device. The transfer now progresses. You may minimize the Software Upgrade window, continue with other tasks, or switch to the Progress tab to view the status of the transfers. Note: Closing the Software Upgrade window does not effect 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 notification window will alert you that processes are still active and will ask if you want to terminate these processes.
11 12
Click on the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that all files have correctly updated. When the update is complete, reboot the module by manually pulling it out and then pushing it back into its slot in the frame. You cannot click Reboot Device to reboot 6800+ modules that must be upgraded in Boot Loader mode. Your upgrade procedure is complete. If for some reason the upgrade fails, 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 10.
Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure

Firmware 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 Web site or from your CD-ROM, do so now.
Putting the Module in Boot Loader Mode

Follow these steps to put your the module in Boot Loader mode: 1 Remove the affected module from the 6800+ frame.

Operating Notes
Operation
When setting the control parameters on the AFD6800+, observe the following:
If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected. See the section Setting AFD6800+ Control Parameters on page 21 for more information. When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted. When you set the Factory Recall parameter to Yes, the module takes several seconds to reset all of the parameters to their default settings. For best results, terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75 terminator.
See Parameter Availability based on Operating Mode on page 18 for more operational information.
AFD/WSS/VI Detection and Insertion

AFD, WSS, and VI embedded video metadata specify the active area to be displayed from a video input. These codes do not do any aspect ratio conversion themselves, but indicate how the video should appear to systems capable of interpreting the data.
Seven input parameters (Input > Decoding) on AFD6800+ modules indicate the presence of AFD, WSS, and VI data when you determine the lines where this data is likely to appear, if present. Sixteen output parameters (Output > Embedding) determine the line to embed AFD, WSS, and/or VI codes on, the code(s) to be embedded, and what happens when a code disappears from the input.
AFD Descriptions
In the following pages, Figures 3-1 to 3-3 show the different AFD code descriptions.

Changing Parameter Settings

Note: For best results, use the available 6800+ software control options (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values. Follow these steps to change the AFD6800+ parameter settings: 1 2 Rotate the mode select rotary switch (hex switch) to 0. Once the hex switch is set to 0, toggle the navigation switch up or down to select a bank. View the two control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected.

See Table 3-4 on page 21 to view the various banks, hex switch positions, and corresponding parameter options and values. 3 4 5 Rotate the hex switch to the parameter number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) of the option you want to set. Toggle the navigation switch to select and set the value of the chosen parameter. Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current bank, and then repeat step 4. or Rotate the hex switch to 0 again to select a different bank, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
Recalling Default Parameter Settings

Table 3-4 on page 21 describes all of the parameter settings for the AFD6800+ modules, including the original factory defaults. To return this module to its default settings, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall following this procedure: 1 2 Rotate the hex switch to 0. 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 4 Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter F. Toggle the navigation switch to On. Use an available 6800+ software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming the parameter value.
Changing Parameter Settings Using CCS Software

Before using CCS Navigator to change your modules parameter settings, you must discover the module. Discovery is the process by which CCS Navigator finds, and then connects to your module.
Discovering Your Module Using CCS Software

To discover your module, your Navigator software must be in Build mode. 1 If the Discovery window is not open, click Tools > Discovery in the main menu. A Discovery window opens, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen. 2 3 Click Options, and then click Add. 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. Click OK to close the Add Host dialog box, and then OK again to close the Discovery Options dialog box. Click Start. This triggers Navigator to run a discovery.
4 5
21
When the discovery finishes, Discovery Completed is displayed in the Discovery pane. 6 7 8 Click Save to save the results of your discovery to the Discovery folder of the Navigation pane. Switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu. Double-click AFD6800+ in the Navigation pane. The Control window opens displaying the modules controls. You can now switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu. Double-click AFD6800+ in the Navigation pane. The Control dialog box opens displaying the modules controls.
Reading Software and Hardware Versions

The current software version of your module can viewed using a HTTP browser, a CCS-enabled control panel, or a CCS software application, such as Pilot or Navigator. 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.
Setting AFD6800+ Control Parameters

Table 3-4 lists all of the available parameters and options for the AFD6800+. All parameters clip unless otherwise indicated. Note: The sequence of options listed in the Options column mirrors the sequence achieved when you move the Navigation Toggle switch up. The On/Off combinations of the control LEDs on the card edge indicate the active bank number. See Changing Parameter Settings on page 19 for more information. Legend Bold option = Indicates that this is the default setting for the parameter. Rows of the table that are in grey are read-only parameters, and cannot be used to select controls.

Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
Software Communication Problems

Problem
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with Navigator.
Solution
Ensure you have specified the proper module slot. See your 6800+ 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.
FR6802+ frames only use ICE6800+ modules to communicate with CCS software and hardware. FR6802+QXF and FR6822+ frames use ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH modules to communicate with CCS software and hardware.
Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame. CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802+XF or FR6822+ frame. Legacy 6800 products do not have the + symbol on their extractor handles.
Check for pressed pins on the back module by following this procedure: i. Unplug the front module. ii. Unscrew and remove the back module. iii. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module (Figure A-1 on page 35),, and verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins. iv. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
Figure A-1 Typical Back Module Spring Connector

36
Appendix A Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips
Problem
The frame is powered up, but CCS Software does not communicate with the module.
Solution
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. CCS Software control is disabled if an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH control module is installed in the frame.
Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module 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 Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about frame ID switch settings.
Check that the correct COM port is configured in CCS Software and that another application is not using that COM port.
Problem
CCS software sees the frame, but do not find all of the modules.
Solution

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 the CCS software and ensure that the installed modules are fully powered up first before discovery.
Problem
CCS Software does not respond after it is launched.
Solution
Close any CCS software that is already launched.
Problem
CCS software shows a module in the Control window, but cannot control it.

Solution
1 2 3 4 Set the modules Local/Remote jumper to Remote. Ensure the module name in the Control window matches the module type in the frame. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly and powered up. Verify that the Control window indicates the device is ready.
Hardware Communication Problems

Problem
After a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate.
Solution
1 2 3 Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure. Close the CCS software, and then restart the PC. Restart the software application.
Problem
The module does not seem to work.
Solution

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: i. Unplug the front module. ii. Unscrew and remove the back module. iii. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support. Note: Pressed pins are ok and will not affect the functionality.
