Step 3: Installing & Configuring Densité Systems
Densité modules housed in your Densité frames process video and audio signals from set-top boxes and
relay all relevant monitoring data and alarms to the iControl Edge Application Server.
Installing Densité Frames
To install a Densité frame:
1. Install the housing frame directly into a standard 19-inch rack using 4 standard rack-mounting screws.
2. Fit all received Densité series cards and rear panels into the frame, referring to the Densité Housing
Frame Guide to Installation and Operation for detailed instructions (see “Reference Material” on page 6).
3. Make the appropriate video, audio and network connections, referring to the Densité CPU-ETH2
Enhanced Ethernet Controller Card Guide to Installation and Operation, to learn how to connect your
Densité system to the network, and to the documentation included with each card (see “Reference
Material” on page 6).
4. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the rear-panel AC receptacle, and secure it with the retainer clip
attached to the receptacle.
5. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet to turn the unit on.
Configuring Densité Services
Before you can begin operations, you must configure Densité Manager and Densité Communicator services
to make your Densité frames and the associated Densité modules available on your local network.
Specifically, you may have to:
• enable at least one Densité Manager service on the Application Server
• access the appropriate Densité Manager control panel and add a Densité Communicator service for each
Densité frame included in your system
• access your Densité card’s control panels to enable thumbnails and audio level meters, and to configure
video and audio alarms.
Enabling Densité Manager Services
To enable a Densité Manager Service:
1. Log on to Webmin (see “Logging on to Webmin” on page 22).
2. Click Miranda iControl Management Tool.
