FR6822+ Frames

Installation and Operation Manual

 A Reply... message verifies that the device is connected to the CCS network.

 A Request timed out message signals that the ping command failed.The device is

either not connected or not reachable on the CCS network.

If you can ping the IP address of the 6800+ ETH module, but the CCS application cannot

find it even after waiting for several minutes after applying power to the frame, download

the latest 6800+ETH firmware from our website and repeat the discovery and pinging

process.

Using 6800 Series Modules in FR6822+ Frames

Most 6800 series modules (non + series) housed in an FR6822+ frame can be operated and

monitored using card-edge controls, or remotely using CCS Navigator, a web browser, or

SNMP-based control application. The FR6822+ frame is designed to house and power both

the 6800 and the 6800+ modules. Although the 6800+ modules have different features and

controls, both work in harmony with each other in the evolved FR6822+ frame. However,

6800 series modules cannot be discovered by CCS applications or remotely controlled.

There are a few 6800 series modules that are not fully compatible with FR6822+ frames and

may short communication or genlock lines in the frame. If you encounter one of these

technical problems, compare your installed 6800 series modules with the modules listed in

the document Installing Compatible 6800/7000 Modules in FR6802+XF Frames, which is

available for download from our website. Remove those installed 6800 series modules that

are not compatible with the FR6822+ frame.

If your 6800 series modules are in fact compatible with the FR6822+ frame and you still

encounter communication problems, ensure that the installed front module matches the

back connector.

Slow Response Time During Discovery

To improve response time during a discovery, you may need to remove invalid IP addresses

from the PC’s DNS Service Search Order list.

1 Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2 Click the Network icon in the Control Panel window.

The Network dialog box appears.

3 Select the Protocols tab in the Network box.

4 Select TCP/IP Protocol from the Network Protocols list, and then click Properties....

The Microsoft TCP/IP Protocol dialog box appears.

5 Select the DNS tab of the Microsoft TCP/IP Protocol box.

CAUTION

Note: The front module must match the corresponding

back connector; otherwise, the modules will not operate

correctly. Some module insertions may be prevented if the

modules are incompatible.
