Configuring the Phoenix Fiber Optic Communications System

This section explains how to configure a Phoenix chassis using the front panel. The front
panel has seven status LEDs, an LCD display, seven push buttons and two RJ-45 ports.
These RJ-45 ports (labeled LAN and DATA) are currently unused. Do NOT connect any
cables or equipment to these ports; it may damage the Phoenix chassis.

Basic configuration of a Phoenix chassis is a three-step process:

1. Turn on power and check status.
2. Select the system topology.
3. Set the node ID.

If your system requires non-default settings (e.g. channel mapping, PAL video, etc.),
please refer to the section titled FRONT PANEL MENU TREE AND DESCRIPTIONS after
you have completed the basic configuration.

If you have not already done so, install the Power Supply Module(s), Optic Module, and
any other plug-in modules (i.e. Data, Video Input, Video Output, etc.) and connect cabling
as instructed in the previous sections of this manual
