Technicolor - Thomson 8900NET Benutzerhandbuch

During initial polling, modules that do not respond immediately may tran-
sition to a 

 status. In this case, this is a tem-

porary status until a maximum number of sequential attempts fail and a 
Fault is reported.

The first release of 8960DEC module code causes a Fault condition because 
it never responds on the Frame Bus. There is no way for the 8900NET module 
to tell the difference between a fully functional early release of 8900DEC and 
a module whose Frame Bus Interface has failed.

Early releases of the 8960ENC, 8950DAC, 8950ADC, 8920DAC, 8920ADC, 
and the 8916 signal a warning condition due to limited capability over the 
Frame Bus. All of these, except the 8916, can be upgraded by the user with 
fully capable Frame Bus software.

The Properties section on the Frame Status page reports:

•

Vendor name,

•

Number of media module slots,

•

Software version (installed on the 8900NET module),

•

Network Config (whether the network configuration is stored on the 
8900NET module or on the frame backplane, depending on frame 
model). Refer to 

.

8900 and legacy Grass Valley modules that can reside in the 8900TFN frame 
are supported to different degrees by the 8900NET module. A compati-
bility matrix describing the hardware versions, software update methods 
requiredm, and remote control features of the various modules supported 
by the 8900 frames and 8900NET module is located in the 

When the 8900NET is first installed or when many modules are installed 
simultaneously, it may take some time for the 8900NET to poll, update status 
and build the HTML pages, especially if there are modules that do not 
respond as expected, such as legacy modules. During these periods the 
Frame Status Page may fall behind temporarily until the 8900NET board can 
catch up and present a true current status.
