This section describes physical connections, the connectors and cables, 
used for network communications. Setup procedures for each type of con-

An example of control and monitoring connectors on the 8900TFN frame 
are illustrated in

There are several versions of frames in the Gecko 8900 Series. Refer to the 
8900 Series Frames manual that came with your frame for the latest informa-
tion on cabling.

 

The Frame Alarm is accessed through pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232 connector. 
Details for connecting an external customer-supplied alarm are given in the 

 

.

 

Earlier version 8900 frames used a BNC connector labelled SMPTE ALARM 
to access the alarm connection. For information concerning the SMPTE 
Alarm bus cable, refer to the 

 

.

 

The nine-pin RS-232 connector is used to connect the frame to a PC to ini-
tially set the frame’s network communication parameters. After network 
communication is established, subsequent changes to these parameters can 
be made using the network GUI. 

 

The RS-232 cable should be removed after completing the initial frame setup. 
Leaving a long serial cable connected to the frame without a connection at 
the other end may freeze the 8900NET module startup routine.
