JUMPERS AND LOCAL CONTROLS
Several jumpers, located at the front of the module are used to preset various operating modes. Figure
4-1 shows the location of the jumpers.
5.1.
SELECTING WHETHER LOCAL FAULTS WILL BE MONITORED
BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
The FRAME STATUS jumper determines whether local faults (as shown by the Local Fault indicator) will
be connected to the 7700FR frame's global status bus.
FRAME STATUS:
To monitor faults on the 7707VT-8-HS with the frame status indicators on the Power
Supply FRAME STATUS LEDs and on the frame's Fault Tally output, install this jumper in the
ON position. (default)
When this jumper is installed in the OFF position, local faults on this module will not be
monitored by the power supply LEDs or the frame’s Fault Tally output but will only be indicated
by the local fault indicator on the card itself.
5.2.
CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
UPGRADE:
The UPGRADE jumper is used when firmware upgrades are being done to the card. For
normal operation, this jumper should be installed in the RUN position. See the
Upgrading
Firmware
section of this manual for more information.
To upgrade the 7707VT-8-HS’s firmware, begin by pulling the module out of the frame. Move
the UPGRADE jumper into the UPGRADE
position. Install the upgrade cable provided (located
in the vinyl pouch in the front of this manual) onto the SERIAL header at the card edge (see
Figure 4-1). Re-install the module into the frame. Run the upgrade as described in the
Upgrading Firmware
section of this manual. Once the upgrade is complete, remove the
module from the frame, move the UPGRADE jumper into the RUN position, remove the
upgrade cable and re-install the module. The module is now ready for normal operation.
