10.6Special Programming for “Cascaded” Satellite System Configurations
In a
There are two user configuration options available (starting in CPU firmware version 8.70) to eliminate or at least significantly reduce conflicts between operators when this type of system is being used.
Option 1: Using Factory default settings, previously selected satellite cameras remain on trunk lines even after the operator switches back to a local camera view. Although this mode of operation is more desirable in standard systems because it minimizes delays when previous satellite cameras are reselected, it is not advanta- geous to use in cascaded systems. In cascaded systems, all available trunk lines coming from the 3rd level satellite system may become used up, making them unavailable to the operators at the intermediate system.
In this situation, keyboard User Function 41 should be set to the NO REM CAM CACHE option at the master site location. In this mode, after the top level operator selects a locally connected camera, the trunk line between the top level and the intermediate level system will immediately be reset to its
For the monitors being used as trunk lines in the intermediate system, it is important for the
Option 2: If the top level master system and intermediate level system in a cascade configuration can or will be set to operate as “Dual Master” systems, a priority based satellite camera feature can be configured.
In default cascaded satellite system configurations, satellite switching commands are not associated with a user priority level. When a switching command sent from a master site is received by a satellite, the switch selection can immediately be over- ridden by operators at the satellite location who have any priority level. This situa- tion is more likely to be encountered in
Since dual master configurations support
the top level and intermediate level master systems. The satellite number assigned to the system that is currently being programmed must be specified here. This fea- ture will enable use of the operator’s user priority to determine if access to a desired satellite camera is provided or not. For instance, if no trunk lines are avail- able and an operator requesting a satellite camera has a higher priority than at least 1 of the existing operators, the requested camera will be switched. If the operator does not have sufficient priority, they will receive an error message (i.e., error 81) via the satellite communication path, and their camera will switch to the
