Note Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to perform a full reset Technical personnel might perform a full reset if they believe that the CPU card is operating incorrectly as a result of corruption of the microprocessor s internal data or instruction sequence ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX INSTRUCTION MANUAL PORT CARD DESCRIPTION Port cards connect the central matrix to intercom panels and interfaces In a linked system port cards connect trunk lines The analog card designated the MVX A16 supports normal audio feeds user panels and trunk lines All cards contain a voice detection mechanism VOX that you program from the ECS configuration software VOX detection allows you to know when the audio on a particular channel has exceeded a threshold This is particularly useful for channels that are inactive periodically so that you are visually cued when audio appears on the line Each port card has two system status lights A port card s FRAME DATA light illuminates to indicate the card s successful communication with the CPU card A port card s STATUS light illuminates to indicate a failure in communication between the port card and the CPU card When all port cards are lined up in the matrix the system status lights form a horizontal row showing the overall state of the system PORT CARD FRONT PANEL LIGHTS AND CONTROLS O Reset Button Pressing the reset button causes the card and all connected audio dev

The following procedure helps you isolate where the trouble is occurring Check the power supplies alarm lights If the alarm lights are indicating a problem with the power supply swap it out with a new power supply If this repairs the problem the problem was in the power supply If the problem persists even after the power supply has been replaced the problem is in the backplane Send the matrix back to Clear Com for repair or replacement In the meantime another matrix can be substituted for the damaged one Clear Com will send you a substitute matrix to use while the damaged one is being repaired ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX INSTRUCTION MANUAL 6 5 6 6 TROUBLESHOOTING DATA PROBLEMS General Principles The other type of problem that can occur in the system is when data is not flowing properly between the program software the circuit cards and the attached panels and interfaces A troubleshooting sequence in this situation would be to first check cabling then reset the card or panel then reset the entire system Port Card Reset Button Resetting the port card causes the configuration information for the card and its attached devices to reload to the card from the CPU card s operational memory located in its microprocessors RAM thus clearing up any corruption of data that may have occurred in the port card s microprocessor The card and all connected panels and interfaces momentarily stop their current activity and restart
