1 Installation, Operation, and

Specifications
Overview The SEL-FR3 Selenio Frame supports primary and secondary (redundant) power supplies,
control modules, genlock input boards, and Ethernet boards. It has the capacity for 14
processing modules, and includes one GPI In/Out module.
The processing modules communicate to the control modules via a 100Base-T Ethernet
network., while a low-level communication bus (midplane interface) provides module
discovery, power down, command, and control for application modules. The SEL-FR3 also
supports an internal 1000Base-T GigE Data network between all processing modules and
control modules, and SDI internal routing (up to 3 Gb/s) between application modules and
controller modules.
The front panel houses four fans and a display board. Air cooling moves from the front to
the back.

Figure 1-2. Selenio Frame, Rear
Environment Selenio frames are cooled by forced air drawn in from the front of the frame, and exhausted
through vents between the back modules at the rear of the frame. There must be free
passage for air flow on to allow for adequate ventilation.
Selenio Frame frames require an ambient temperature of between 32° to 104°F (0° and
40°C), with a relative humidity of 10-90% (non-condensing). The frame can only maintain
proper operating temperatures when the front panel is closed.
The SEL-FR3 frame occupies a vertical space of 3RU. Both and use standard front mounting
ears located on the frame chassis. You must provide adequate space behind the mounting
ears, and clearance for the connecting cables at the rear of the frame.
CAUTION:
To ensure proper ventilation, keep the front panel closed, and install blank back
modules behind empty module slots. The frame will overheat if you do not
observe these precautions.

Installing Selenio Modules

You can insert a Selenio module into a frame with the power supply turned on or off.
Follow this procedure:
1 Remove a blank back module from the frame.

Do not discard the blank back modules and their captive screws. You may need them
for future configurations.
2 Attach the new back module to the empty slot, using the mounting screws provided.
Align the back module’s pin into the guide hole, and ensure that the EMI gaskets
separating the back modules remain in place during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit
tightly. To ease the installation of back modules, gradually press each back module into
place from the left side to the right side.
Align pin into

5 Open the front panel and then slide the correct front modules into the slots that match the
back modules.
6 Push the module until it seats properly, ensuring the edge of the module is flush with the
edge of the module guides, and the square extractor handle clicks into its slot.
7 Install the remaining back and front modules, make all of the necessary rear connections,
and then close the front panel.
CAUTION:
To prevent overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all
back module slots covered.
Removing Selenio Modules

8 SEL-FR3
Back Module
To remove a back module from a video conversion module frame, unscrew the module, and
then pull it straight out. Then re-attach a blank back module to ensure proper frame
ventilation.
Controller Modules
Selenio Frames operate with or without a redundant secondary controller module. To insert
a controller module, push the module straight into its slot until the LEDs near the handle
light up. To remove a controller module, place two fingers in the handle, and pull straight
out.
When a redundant controller is not installed, a blank airflow card must be inserted in its
space. This card ensures the proper cooling of the frame.
Optional Rear Controller Connections

The SELOPT-RR assembly provides dual RJ-45 connections to the controller module; the
SELOPT-RO provides a single RJ45 and single optical transceiver connection. (SFP
transceivers are available separately.)
To install an optional controller connection assembly, follow these steps:
1 Turn off power to the frame.

The frame cannot be operated during this procedure; the fans must be in operation at
all times for proper cooling, and a redundant controller or blank airflow card must
always be in place.
2 Remove the controller module.
3 Unscrew and remove the vent plate located behind the primary or secondary controller
module.
4 Insert the new SELOPT-RR or SELOPT-RO connector assembly, and then tighten the two
screws provided.
5 Reinsert the controller module, turn on the power, then close the front panel.
Optional Controller Video IP Submodule

A video IP (“mezzanine”) submodule is required if data Ethernet connections are used by
the frame, or if application modules must communicate with each other internally. If this
submodule was not installed as part of the ordered frame package, the SELOPT-VIDEO-IP
can be installed separately. (When a secondary controller module is in use, a secondary
submodule will also be necessary for complete redundancy.)
Follow these steps to install the submodule:
1 Turn off power to the frame.

The frame cannot be operated during this procedure; the fans must be in operation at
all times for proper cooling.
2 Remove the controller module.
3 Position the video IP submodule over the rear portion of the controller module (see
Figure 1-9), being careful to align the card-to-card multipin connector.

Internal Function
Controller The Selenio Frame supports a primary and a secondary controller (resource module); each
can draw up to 300W of power. One controller must always be installed in the frame. Each
controller supports an optional daughter /mezzanine module containing a GigE switch,
required for the data Ethernet network.
Each product module in the Selenio Frame has one dedicated low-level communication
(LLC) signal, which is connected to both the primary and secondary controllers.

SEL-FR3 15
Power The SEL-FR3 supports a primary and a secondary 12V power supply for redundancy. During
Supplies normal operation, the two power supplies will load share; if one power supply fails, a single
power supply can provide the requirements of a fully-stuffed frame.
The AC power supply operates between 90 - 250 VAC and will auto-detect the line voltage.

Laser
Safety WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified
in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit
infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a conventional laser
produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high, and it can damage your
eyes.
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the
retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times more than at
the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4),
according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules
in this series are designated Class 1.
Precautions for Enclosed Systems

In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally enclosed and
presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables that interconnect various
components of an optical fiber disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions.
Also, technicians may be exposed to laser emissions during installation and servicing.
Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent beam that
decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye,
and the less potential risk for eye injury.
WARNING: Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope,

magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the energized fiber end.
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely
enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:
1 Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers.

2 Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved training course before
performing installation or maintenance.
3 Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports of the modules.
Precautions for Unenclosed Systems

During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is
considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow the practices described below.
CAUTION: Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service,

maintenance, and restoration.
1 Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at
close distances.
2 Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during
installation or servicing.

SEL-FR3 17
3 Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
4 Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems
during installation and service.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace,
consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S. or
outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.
Label The label shown in Figure 1-11 is applicable to Class 1 laser products.

Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections

When connecting fibers to a back module, ensure that you do not touch the end of the
fiber, or allow it to become dirty. Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants
can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. If you touch the end of a fiber prior to
connecting it to the back module, or otherwise allow it to become dirty, you must carefully
inspect and clean the connection.
Table 1-13 on page 17 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection. The
inspection and cleaning procedure begins on page 17.
Table 1-13 Typical Contaminants

Contaminant Comments
Dust particle, 1 micron Can block up to 1% of the light transmission,
creating a loss of 0.05 dB
Dust particle, 9 Although microscopic, the particle can
microns completely block the fiber core
Human hair Typically 50 to 75 microns in diameter
Oil Frequently caused by touching
Film residues Can accumulate from vapors or smoke
Powdery coatings Can be left behind after water or other solvents
evaporate

18 SEL-FR3
Important • Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.
Points • Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a connection.
• Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.
• Do not touch the end of a fiber.
• Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located nearby for easy
access.
• Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.
• Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber end.
• Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a tissue or
swab.
• Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull.
• Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark.
Figure 1-12 describes the acceptable limits of defects in a fiber connection.
Zone 1
Scratches and dust (0 to 25 micron diameter)
No scratches or digs are allowed
Zone 2
(25 to 60 micron diameter)
Maximum of 3 scratches <3.0 micron width is acceptable;
Maximum of 1 light dig of <3.0 micron is acceptable
Zone 3
(60 to 120 micron diameter)
No scratches >3.0 microns are acceptable;
Maximum of 3 digs of <10 microns are acceptable
Maximum 10 micron diameter dig is acceptable
Figure 1-12 Fiber Optic Cross-Section
Inspection and Cleaning Procedure
Inspection
To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps:
1 Ensure the fiber is not “live.”
WARNING!
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying
glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
2 Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.

3 If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions.
If the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions.

SEL-FR3 19
Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge- or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manufacturer’s
directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1 Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the
cleaning surface of the wipe.
2 Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3 Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.
4 Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5 If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps.
If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning
Using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber:
1 Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.

2 Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8% alcohol, ensuring that a
portion of the wipe remains dry.
3 Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free wipe.
4 Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing any residual
alcohol.
5 Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with another
clean section of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION!
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6 Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.
7 If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is
clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer
Service for further instructions.
If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions.

Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
Initial Configuration
Before you can connect to a Selenio frame using a web browser, you must configure the IP
address of the frame. Follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of a crossover or passthrough cable to the Ethernet port on the front of
the Selenio frame, and connect the other end of the cable to a PC with the required
software.
The frame automatically detects the cable type and assigns an IP address to the computer
so that they are on the same subnet. You can also set the IP address on the frame itself if
the frame has a front control panel.
2 Launch a browser and type anything in the address bar.

The Selenio Control interface appears.
3 Select Configuration and ensure that the Frame Controller is selected in the tree view at
the left of the screen.
4 On the Frame Control Panel, select General.
5 On the Basic screen, enter an IP address for the frame.
The IP address should be consistent with your network’s configuration. For more
information, contact your network administrator.
6 Connect the Selenio Controller module to a hub on your network.

Setting Configuration and feedback parameters for various functional areas of the frame are
General divided into the following sections.
Parameters
Basic
On this panel, you can enter a name for your frame and set the frame’s clock to a specific
time server. You can also enter UTC day and time.
DejaView
The Selenio DejaView feature allows parameter settings for a specific slot to be saved on
the Controller module, so if the module is replaced in the slot with another module of the
same type, the parameter settings are automatically be loaded onto the replacement
module. DejaView can be enabled or disabled per slot.
By default, DejaView is off for every slot. If you make extensive use of module redundancy
within your configuration and need to replace a card, if DejaView is selected the controller
module will provision that slot the exact same way as the previous (failed) module. This
helps restore services quicker and allows for replacement hardware to be installed without
the help of engineering supervisors.
Note: You can achieve similar functionality using Presets. See Using Presets on page 70.
Hardware
Settings on the top portion of this panel determine whether a fault is triggered when
specific hardware (primary and secondary power supply and physical front panel display on
the frame) are not available. If these hardware components are not part of your
configuration, disable these faults so they do not trigger all the time.
Selenio also allows you to indicate which modules go in what slots. You can save this
configuration so that when inserting a new module that does not match with the
configuration, or when removing the module, the Controller triggers a fault. Module Save
saves the current detected setup (which device is in which slot). Module Clear deletes this
configuration.

SEL-FR3 37
Physical
This panel displays information about the frame’s environment, including whether various
LEDs are active (indicating that there are faults with protective hardware in the system, such
as fans and power supplies).
Setting The parameters in this panel group define the various communications systems the frame
Control can use for control.
Parameters
IP Settings
Settings on this screen determine how the frame is controlled using the Browser Control
interface (the interface described in this chapter). If you make a wrong choice on this
screen, you could lose connection with the frame.
Note: The controller module uses a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) to create a
broadcast domain which all modules within the frame will use to communicate among
themselves (for control and data traffic). A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical
network, including subnet and ID properties. Selenio systems have default settings for
Control and Data Subnet and VLAN IDs for both primary and secondary controller cards
(parameters found in the 'Advanced IP Setting' area). Unless there is conflict with your own
network settings, all these parameters should NOT be changed. If changes are required,
please consult a Harris Customer Service representative. Failure to do so might result in
improper control and monitoring of Selenio systems.
The Data Ethernet settings described on this screen only affect frames where the controller
module has an optional video IP submodule.
Interface Settings
This panel displays the current status of each control interface, and has buttons to enable
and disable that interface. The interfaces available are:
• Front Panel—A hardware panel display on the front of your frame that, when
installed, provides an opportunity for local control and monitoring when an operator is
physically in front of the frame.
• FTP—The frame’s FTP interface, responsible for all file transfers.
• HTTP—The server that allows you to enter the IP address of the frame and control and
monitor the frame using a web browser.
Note: If you disable the HTTP server on this screen, your browser will immediately lose its
connection with the frame.
• SNMP—The agent responsible for implementing the SNMP interface that sends traps
and allows parametric control via SNMP protocol.
• Telnet—The frame’s telnet interface, responsible for accessing the frame via telnet
(mainly used for troubleshooting purposes).
• SSH—Used for internal communications. Should not be disabled, unless directed to do
so by Customer Service.
• CCSP—Interface responsible for implementing the CCSP interface, allowing clients
(such as webpage, CCS Navigator, NUCLEUS, etc.) to control and monitor the frame.

38 Chapter 2
GPI
A Selenio frame has two GPI inputs and two GPI outputs.
For each GPI input, you can define:
• Function—Specifies the action for the specified GPI input, with options None*, Alarm
Close, Alarm Open, and Load Preset.
• Preset—Specifies the preset to load for the specified GPI input, with a range of 0* - 99
The Status field indicates the GPI input contact condition.
For each GPI output, you can define the Function. This specifies this GPI output's assigned
function, with options listed below.
• Closed
• Open (default)
• Backup (1-14; primary; secondary)—triggers when a device that is assigned to
redundancy takes over for another device, or when it gives up control of that other
device
• Minor Alarm
• Major Alarm
The Status field indicates the GPI output contact condition.
The Fault field indicates the GPI output fault state.
SNMP
The SNMP Agent settings are as follows:
• Location—A text string that indicates the location of the device.

• SNMP Community String—The setting here must match that in a MIB browser in
order for the two devices to share information.
You can define ten trap destinations, as follows:
• SNMP Dest Desc—Description of the host to which SNMP trap messages will be sent.
• SNMP IP Address—If non-zero, specifies the IP address of a host to which SNMP trap
messages will be sent.
Configuring If you have both a primary controller module and a secondary controller module, the
Redundancy secondary controller module automatically serves as backup to the primary module. You do
not need to configure anything for this to be so.
Your Selenio frame supports application module redundancy, where a module of a

particular type can be designated to protect one or more modules of the same type. If a
primary module fails, then the controller module automatically reconfigures the secondary
module to take over.

SEL-FR3 39
Protection Chains and Priorities

The controller module supports multiple protection layers, letting a backup module request
its own protection. The protection relationship could look like Figure 2-9 on page 39.
Figure 2-9 Example of Backup of Modules within a Selenio Frame
Modules A, B, and C designate D as the backup. Module D sets its backup to E, which
designates F. Consequently, modules A, B, and C have three potential backup modules: D,
E, and F. (For instructions on how to configure a module as a primary or backup module, see
Configuring Module Redundancy on page 44. Redundancy for processing modules
requires configuration of external equipment such as routers and supporting wiring. These
topics are described in Configuring the Router on page 46 and Using the Connections
Manager on page 52.)
All modules are eligible to carry service, regardless of their protection mode. A protection
module's service can be discarded if a failover selects that module to pick up a failed
primary module's service. The protection graph implicitly sets priorities for module selection
during failover. Modules with longer protection chains (e.g., module A, B and C above) have
a higher priority than those with shorter chains (modules D and E above). In Figure 2-9, the
services on modules A, B, and C have the highest priority, and these modules are not
designated as backups for failover duty. The service on module F has the lowest priority, so
F will be chosen first for backup duty.
The controller module tries to preserve higher priority services, potentially at the expense of
lower priority services. A backup module inherits the primary module's priority during a
failover. That backup module can be selected again for failover duty, if another module with
a higher priority needs protection.
A few examples illustrate the behavior (using Figure 2-9 with modules A through F).
Example 1:
• A fails; F serves as the backup, because F is the lowest priority backup available.
• D fails; E serves as the backup, because E is the lowest priority backup available.
• B fails; E drops D (because B is higher priority) and serves as B's backup.
• C fails; no backups are available (E and F carry B and A, which are the same priority as
C).
Example 2:
• D fails; F serves as the backup, because F is the lowest priority backup available.

40 Chapter 2
• A fails; E serves as the backup, because E is the lowest priority backup available.
• B fails; F drops D (because B is higher priority than D) and serves as B's backup.
• C fails; no backups are available (E and F carry A and B, which are the same priority as
C).
Example 3:
• A fails; F serves as the backup (because F is the lowest priority backup available).
• B fails; E serves as the backup (because E is the lowest priority backup available).
• E fails; D serves as the backup. Because E is currently carrying B's service, the controller
module identifies all backup candidates for B, not E. Consequently, D is available for
backup duty, and the controller module moves B's service from E to D.
• C fails; no backups are available. D carries B, which has the same priority as C. E has
failed and is out of service. F carries A, which has the same priority as C.
In Figure 2-9, since E is protecting D, and F is protecting E (i.e. D protected by E protected
by F), the module in F will take over all operations in case of module D failure. This is due to
priority level, where the last available module in the chain takes over a module higher in the
chain. If module F subsequently fails, module E takes over the duties of module D. After
module F is serviced, you need to manually failback to F in order to indicate that the module
is now operational. Failure to do so will keep the module F marked as not available for
protection operations.
Primary and Backup Compatibility

Only modules with the same type may share a protection chain. When a failover occurs, the
backup module inherits the configuration of the primary module. To prevent loss of service
because of feature conflicts, the backup's feature keys must be a superset of the primary's
keys. When the backup goes into service, this ensures it has the capabilities to supply all
required features. Note that redundancy configuration is not allowed in setups containing
companion modules (i.e. audio/video expansion boards).
Protection Router
Many redundant systems use protection routers to help recover from system failures. For
example, if a system has two modules of same type (one primary and one backup), video
and audio routers might switch a set of input signals between the two modules. During
normal operation, the router sends the video and audio signals to the primary module, and
the backup module is idle. During a failover operation, the router redirects the video and
audio to the backup module, thus ensuring continued availability of the incoming feed.
Triggering Failover
The controller module monitors primary modules for change in status. When a primary
module ceases operating normally, this triggers a failover:
• The controller module copies the primary module's configuration to the selected
backup module. This includes all interfaces, functions, and general values for the
primary module's slot. As long as the backup module carries the failed primary
module's service, the controller module copies updated configuration values for the
primary slot to the backup.
• In addition to slot-based configuration, the controller module uses the connection table
to adjust data flows for the new slot assignments. The connection table is not changed,
but the existing behavior might need adjustment.

SEL-FR3 41
The reconfiguration described above does not persist across a system reset. If a failed
primary module remains out of service after a reset, the controller module invokes the
failover actions again. Once a backup module goes into action, it does its best to perform all
the duties and obligations of the primary module.
Except when going through a failback operation, the backup module retains its
configuration when its role changes. Moreover, any connection entries associated with the
module are rewritten to reference the backup slot explicitly, thus directing the backup
module to carry the services from the failed primary module. Of course, the primary and
backup modules can be reconfigured after taking them out of mutual protection mode.
Triggering Failback
Selenio uses manual failback. Unlike the initial failover, which transfers control
automatically, you must explicitly restore service to the main module.
When an operator issues a failback command (as in Triggering Failback on page 41), the
original service transfers from the backup module to the original primary module. The
controller module updates the protection status for the primary and backup modules, and
updates the data flows in the connection table, restoring the role of the primary module.
The primary module resumes ownership of the configuration and status values for its slot.
The controller module restores the original configuration values for the backup module.
Manual service restoration avoids a potential situation where a service repeatedly switches
between an intermittently defective primary module and its backup. Also, manual operation
lets you schedule the service restoration, which can cause a brief service interruption.

The Module Table section of the screen indicates the following information:
Table 2-9 Module Redundancy Table

Column Function
Slot Displays the slot number (1-14) of the module
Module Type Tells the product code of the module in the slot. If no module is in
the slot, displays N/A.
Mode Determines whether a module is protected or not; options are:
• Protected—Another module is assigned to protect this module
• Unprotected—No other module is assigned to protect this
module

SEL-FR3 43
Table 2-9 Module Redundancy Table (Continued)

Column Function
Status Indicates the protection state of each module in the frame;
options are:
• Unavailable—The module is not operating normally (for
example, if it was removed from the frame) and has no
protection assigned to it. (If a module is assigned to be
protected by another module, then its status will be FailedTo-n.)
Modules that are Unavailable are not present in the Dashboard.
• FailedTo-n—The module has failed over to module n, either
manually using the Failover button or because it is not
operating normally (for example, if it was removed from the
frame). Modules that have failed over are still visible on the
Dashboard but are physically being managed by module n.
• Protecting-n—The module is protecting module n due to a fail
over. Protecting modules are not visible in the Dashboard until
the protection ends.
• Ready—The module is operating normally and is visible on the
Dashboard. A module that is Ready can be failed over or can be
used to protect another module if protection is assigned.
• Failback-Required—The module is operating normally but
must be failed back using the Failback button to restore it to
the Ready status. There are two cases where a module becomes
Failback-Required:
• If module A is protecting another module and then is no
longer operating normally, and a module B higher in the
protection chain is present, then B will take over protecting
the failed module. If A starts operating normally again, then
it will be Failback-Required. To move the protection back to
A, fail back on module A.
• If a module A is manually failed over and the protecting
module is no longer operating normally or has to protect a
higher priority module than A, then module A will be
Failback-Required. To make module A Ready, fail back on
module A.

44 Chapter 2
When you select a row in the Module Redundancy table, the parameters at the right of the
table update to indicate the status of the various parameters for that module. Parameters
are:
Table 2-10 Module Redundancy Parameters

Parameter Function
Module Type (1-14) Indicates the type of module and the slot that module is in
[RO]
Protect Mode (1-14) Specifies the backup for the specified slot (Module configuration
and signal routing will be redirected to the specified slot during
failure conditions.)
Protect Status (1-14) Indicates whether the module is in a failed state. Options are:
[RO]
• Unneeded—Indicates that the module is operating normally
• Needed—Indicates that the module is in a failed state and
protection is required
Failover When selected, Failover tests the redundancy. If you check the
Protect Status screen after triggering failover for a module, the
device that serves as backup for the module will indicate the device
it is protecting.
Loads DejaView settings to the protecting module, so that it has

the same configuration as the module it is now serving as (see
Triggering Failover on page 40)
Failback Restores a module with the status Failback Required (or a module
that has undergone failover test) so that the failed-over module
and protecting module perform their own standard functions
again (see Triggering Failback on page 41)
Configuring Module Redundancy

The idea with module redundancy is to assign functions of primary importance to a module,
and then have a second module of the same type that performs less-important
functionality. Assign this second, less important module as the backup/redundancy support
module for the primary module. When a module goes into a failed state for whatever
reason, the module assigned as the backup module drops the functions it normally
provides, in order to take over the functionality of the primary module. That means that
unless you have assigned redundancy to the second module, its functions will no longer be
performed.
1 On the Redundancy > Module screen, select the module in the Module Table that
requires backup.
The parameters at the right of the table update to display information for the selected
module.
2 Click the Protect Mode parameter, and select the slot that you want to provide backup.
Options include Unprotected, as well as every other slot in the frame, whether it currently
has a module in it or not, and regardless of whether the module in that slot is currently the
same type. This is so you can configure protection before the module is in the frame.

SEL-FR3 45
Testing Module Redundancy

If your Selenio frame has both a primary and a secondary controller module, you can test
failover by clicking the button in the Controller section of the screen. For module
redundancy, first select the row in the Module Table. The parameters to the right of the
Module Table update to display parameters, status, and buttons to test failover and failback
for the specified module (indicated by the module’s slot number).
To test module redundancy, follow these steps.
1 Click Failover for the module.

2 Check the Protect Status screen.
The device that serves as backup for the module will indicate the device it is protecting.
Failover loads DejaView settings to the protecting module, so that it has the same
configuration as the module it is now serving as. (See Configuring Module Faults on
page 76.)
3 Click Failback for the module.

The modules reset so that the selected test module and protecting module perform their
own standard functions again.
Note: If a module in Slot 2 is protecting another module in Slot 1, and a module in Slot 3 is
protecting module in Slot 2 (i.e. Slot 1 protected by Slot 2 protected by Slot 3), Slot 3 will
take over operations in case of failure of module in Slot 1. This is due to the priority level set
automatically by the system, where the last available module in the chain takes over for any
module higher in the chain. In case of failure of module in Slot 3, module in Slot 2 will take
over. After module in Slot 3 is serviced, you need to manually failback to Slot 3 to indicate
that the module is now operational. Failure to do so leaves the module in Slot 3 unavailable
for protection operations.
Operating With a Failed Module

When a module fails, if it has a protection module assigned, all functionality of the primary
module is transferred to the backup module. Any functionality assigned to the protection
module at that time is abandoned by the protection module, unless it in turn has its own
protection module assigned. For this reason, it is best to assign protection modules to lower-
priority functions.
When you configure a slot that has failed, you are actually configuring the protection
module, rather than the failed module. In this way, switching functions should be seamless,
and those functions are returned to the primary module when it is returned to service.
Returning to Full Functionality

When you insert a primary module back into the frame, or it returns to normal functionality,
it comes on in an offline state. You must manually return the protected, primary module to
its normal functionality by clicking Failback for that module.
Failback executes two operations: one that returns the functionality to the primary module,
and a second that returns whatever functionality the backup module may have been
performing to its original functions.

46 Chapter 2
Configuring the Router

To provide full module redundancy, the audio/video signals feeding a failed module need to
be transferred to its backup module during failover operations. This way, the backup
module receives the same signals from the upstream devices that were reaching the main
module prior to the failure condition. Similarly, the output signals from the backup module
need to feed the downstream devices that were once fed by the main module prior to the
failure condition. This is accomplished by having a router managing these signals via inputs,
outputs, and cross-points. You need to configure the router component within the
controller card so that the interaction between this component and the external router
happens smoothly during failover/failback (router protection) operations. To do this, you
need to configure the Routers section (found under Redundancy) on the Selenio controller
to represent your existing physical/logical routing system configuration.
The controller can perform cross-point switches to a 16-level router (with each level having
up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs). You can configure the protection router to route the signal
in case of module failure.

Using the Router Output Table

The Router Output Table represents the current state of the router crosspoints per level. This
is used to facilitate the module redundancy operations (failover and failback events).
To use the Router Output table, follow these steps:
1 On the Redundancy Router pane, click the level you want to modify.
The parameter list to the right of the Protection Router table updates to display parameters
for that router level.
2 Click Show Table.

3 The Router Output Table dialog box for the selected router level opens.
Figure 2-12 Router Output Table Dialog Box
4 Select a row in the table.

The parameter to the right of the Router Output table updates to display the input selected
for that output.
5 In the Input field, do either of the following:

• Click Up or Down to change the input number
• Enter a number between 0 and 32 using your keyboard
Outputs with a zero (0) in the Input field are not used during router protection operations,
and no crosspoint commands are sent to the router.
If you are concerned that another user may have changed the router output table since you
launched the service, click Populate to refresh the list. This downloads the current level
crosspoint status from the frame and populates the Output/Input (crosspoint) table. Set all
Inputs that are not part of your protection configuration to zero (0). The system will not
send cross-point commands down to the router when Inputs are set to zero (0), and
consequently will not affect other configurations that use these crosspoints.

SEL-FR3 49
Managing Using the Connections Manager within the Controller module, you can indicate all the
Connections transfer points, both external to the frame, and within and between the modules in the
frame. In this way, when removing a module from the frame and using the protection
function to replace the functionality of that module, the routings can be reproduced,
assuming the redundant, protecting module is configured to the same router.
When you need the redundant functionality out of the backup module, the Connections
Manager maps the functionality from one module to the other, by way of a crosspoint
switch.
The Connections Manager also allows you to route signals between different modules in
the frame, without having to run cabling along the frame’s internal bus. Some modules may
not use the frame’s internal bus.
Connections happen within the frame’s backplane and are subject to the same delay as the
outputs of the module. The connection system is limited to 1024 independent connections.
Connections are organized first by function, and then below that, by interface.
• Function—A capability of a module that can be connected to inputs or other

functions. Functions are divided into the following types:
D Encoder
D Multiplexer
D Demultiplexer
A function that has no inputs or outputs (interfaces) does not appear in the connection
manager.
• Interface—Each function has at least one interface, which is used to connect
functions. Interfaces are divided into the following types:
D CXN—Internal connection over Data Ethernet (available only if the Selenio
controller module has an optional video IP submodule)
D Ext-Ip—External connection over Data Ethernet (available only if the Selenio
controller module has an optional video IP submodule)
D Ext-Mod—External module connectors on back panel
D Xpoint—End points on cross-point switch
You can have multiple interfaces for the same thing. An interface can be a connector
on the back of the module, or it can be an internal connection for the module within
the frame.
Controller Module Functions

The controller module has two functions:
• Test Signal Generator—Provide test video feed and tone to other devices within the
frame.
• Protection router—Provides 7 x 2 backup routing for devices within the frame.
The test signal generator is always available in the Connections Manager. The protection
router must be configured before it appears in the Connections Manager. See Launching
the Router Interface on page 46 for more information.
Viewing Connections
The Connections viewer shows all defined connections within the frame.

To open the Connections Viewer, do either of the following:
• From the Dashboard, in the drop-down menu at the top right of the screen, to the left
of the Controller Status panel, select Connections.
• From the Configuration panel, select the Frame Controller, click Close to return to the
Frame Control Panel, and then click Connections. From the top of the Function
Browser, click Connection View.

you can click the button to open the Connections Manager.
To close the Connections Manager and return to the Control Panel, click Close.
Using the Connections Manager

The left side of the Connections Manager displays a list of interfaces within the frame. Each
row in the Functions list represents an interface within the frame. Rows are divided into
function types by bars with triangles. Click the triangle to the left of the function type bar to
hide or display the interfaces for that function.
You can filter the list using the Filter Options menu. Options are:
• All Interfaces
• Used Interfaces
• Unused Interfaces
Functions are divided into groups, depending on the functions that are defined within the
frame. All frames have a Test Signal Generator (TSG) and protection router, (see
Configuring the Router on page 46) because these functions are on the Selenio
Controller module. Other functions available are defined by the modules within the frame.
Some modules within the frame may have connection functions that are not, by default,
visible to the Connection manager. These functions may need to be activated by a
parameter before they become available to the Connection Manager. To activate a function
on a module, see the documentation for that module.

If the password created for the administrator user account has been lost or forgotten,
contact Customer Service.
Upgrading You can use the Selenio control interface to upgrade the firmware on any module in the
Module frame, including the controller module. Upgrading module firmware is a two-stage process.
On most Selenio modules (except the FS1 and XD1) you can copy the firmware to the
Firmware device and then switch the device to that new firmware when you are ready. Switching the
device to use the new firmware involves taking the module offline.
Selenio modules other than the FS1 and XD1 have non-volatile memories. This makes it
possible for two versions of firmware to be loaded onto a non-FS/XD module, by
transferring the firmware out to module(s) during the day, and then cutting over during
scheduled outage or maintenance windows. When a new version of firmware is transferred
to the module, the previous inactive version is overwritten. To upgrade the software on an
FS1 or XD1, you must take the module completely offline.
During normal operation, the Selenio controller holds a version of code for each module
type. Upon the insertion of a new module into the frame, the controller loads its version of
firmware onto the new module. This is true even if the module has a newer version of code.
However, each slot in the Selenio frame can independently be put into Test mode. When a
new module is inserted into a slot that is in Test mode, the controller does not load its
version of firmware onto the new module. Instead, the module runs with its current
firmware. This is helpful when testing a new version of firmware.
Note: This does not affect any parameter settings on the module.
To view the firmware upgrade options, on the Configuration pane, select the Frame
Controller module, and then select the Configurations tab, and then click Upgrade
Firmware.

SEL-FR3 57
Click Firmware Overview (if it is not already selected) to view a list of all the modules in all
the slots of the frame, and the upgrade status of each module.
Figure 2-17 Firmware Overview Page
The Firmware Overview table at the top of the screen lists all modules for which the
firmware is managed by the Selenio Controller module. There is a row for each module
type. By default, all modules have Test mode off, so by default all modules appear in the
Firmware Overview table.
Table 2-14 Firmware Overview

Item Function
Module Lists the module type, and then the slot numbers that contain
that module type that are not in Test mode.
Version Indicates the firmware version number in use on the modules.
When the field displays N/A, there is no firmware for that
module type on the controller module.
Alternate Version Indicates the other firmware version that is stored, but not in
use, for the module type.
Upgrade Status Indicates whether upgrade is available on the type of modules.

58 Chapter 2
The Version and Alternate Version columns indicate various statuses of the firmware loaded
on the modules:
Table 2-15 Version and Alternate Version States
Version Alternate Comments

Version
# N/A If a new module is added to the frame, the controller will
automatically upgrade/downgrade it to the same firmware
version found in the controller module.
# Higher # The firmware version on the module(s) is already
downloaded to the controller module. Any new module of
the same type inserted into the frame will be upgraded (or
downgraded) to that version. A newer version has been
downloaded to the controller module, but has not yet been
activated.
N/A N/A No firmware version has been found for this module type.
Each module of this type is running its own version of
firmware and no automatic upgrade/downgrade will take
place.
N/A # No firmware version for this module type has been found on
the controller module. Each module is running its own
version of the firmware, and no automatic upgrade/
downgrade will take place. However a firmware version has
been downloaded to the controller module, but not
activated yet. Once the firmware is activated, all modules of
this type will be updated automatically and the Alternate
Version will become N/A.
When you reboot the frame, modules in managed slots receive the most up-to-date
firmware automatically. If a module is removed from the frame, and another module of the
same type is inserted into the same slot, that module will be automatically updated to the
current firmware.
Below the Firmware Overview table, another table lists all modules in test slots. When a slot
is designated as a test slot, the controller module won’t force new firmware onto the
module.
Table 2-16 Test Slots

Item Function
Slot Lists the slot number that is in test mode.
Module Indicates the module type that is in the slot.
Version Lists the firmware version currently in use on the module.
Alternate Version Lists the alternate version of software available for the module i
n the slot.
Upgrade Status Indicates whether upgrade is available on the module in the slot.

SEL-FR3 59
Setting Test Mode for a Slot

Before you take firmware into production, you should first install it in a Test slot and ensure
that all presets, parameters, etc. will behave consistently on the new firmware. To set a slot
to Test mode, follow these steps:
1 To view the firmware upgrade options, on the Configuration pane, select the Frame
Controller module, and then click Upgrade Firmware.
2 Click Test Firmware.
The page contains a table with the following columns:

there is no module in the frame.
Version Lists the firmware version currently assigned to the slot, whether
there is a module in the slot or not
Alternate Version Lists the alternate version of software available for the module in
the slot
Test Mode Indicates Yes if the slot is in Test mode, or No if the slot is in
controller-managed mode
Upgrade Status Indicates whether an upgrade is available on the module in the
slot
3 Click the button in the Test Mode column and choose Yes or No.
You can change the mode of a slot whether or not it contains a module.
Note: When you set a module to Managed mode (select Yes), it appears in the Firmware
Overview area (top part of the screen), and the firmware is changed according to the
following conditions:
• If there are other modules of the same type in the frame and a different version of the
firmware is in the controller module (indicated by the Version column for the module
type), the new module is upgraded or downgraded automatically.
• If there are no other modules of the same type in the frame, and there is no version of
the firmware for this module type in the controller module, the new module runs its
existing firmware, and the system indicates N/A in the Version and Alternate Version
columns.
Upgrading Firmware
For best results, first upgrade firmware in a test slot, before propagating firmware to all like
slots in a frame. In the Selenio frame control panel, follow these steps:
1 On the Upgrade Firmware screen, click Test Firmware, select a slot that contains the type
of module you would like to upgrade, and click Yes to set this slot to Test mode (See
Setting Test Mode for a Slot on page 59).

Alternate Firmware on page 61.

SEL-FR3 61
Activating Alternate Firmware

Once firmware has been transferred to a module, as described in Transferring Alternate
Firmware on page 60, you can activate that firmware at your convenience. Follow these
steps:
Controller module, and then select the Configurations tab, and then click Activate
Firmware.
2 Select the modules you want to switch to alternate firmware.
• To activate firmware on all controller-managed modules, place a check beside the row
below Select Controller-Managed Modules.
• To activate firmware to individual test modules, place a check beside each test module
under Select Modules in Test Mode.
3 Click Activate.
The modules are reset and return to functionality with the new firmware in the Version
column, and N/A in the Alternate Version column.
Upgrade Failure Instructions

If the module detects a problem immediately after your upgrade, a System Recovery
Upgrade Required fault is triggered. In this event, you should activate the alternate
firmware and attempt the upgrade again. If this second attempt fails, use the failsafe mode
to install the new firmware.
See your application module instructions for details about the failsafe mode.
Activating To obtain a license, contact Customer Service. You will need the module’s serial number and
License Keys any license keys that are currently on the device.
To activate a license key using the Selenio control interface, follow these steps:

2 Select the Selenio Controller module in the System Explorer, and if any other configuration
tool is open, click Close to view the Configuration screen.
3 Click License Keys Activation.
A table displays all the modules in the frame, and all license-related information for those
modules.

62 Chapter 2
Figure 2-18 License Key Table
4 Click on the row for the device you want to change licensing information on.
The right portion of the pane updates to display information specific to the selected
module.
If you have not acquired a license key, use Windows copy-and-paste tools to copy the text
from the Serial Number and Current Licence Key fields to provide it to Customer Service.
5 When you have acquired it, enter your device key in the Change License Key field.
Use copy-and-paste tools to copy the license key from the message sent to you by
Customer Service (if the license was provided that way), for greater accuracy.
6 Click Apply.
The Licensed Options table updates to display changes to the installed license options,
including tokens and specific license keys.
You are now ready to configure the options you have unlocked.
License data is stored on the individual module for which the key is assigned, not on the
Controller module, so when you transfer a module from frame to frame, its complete
feature set travels with it.
Using the On the Frame Control Panel, click Tree. A list of all parameters for the Selenio Controller
Parameter module opens.
Tree The IP Advanced settings are intended for internal VLAN configuration. These settings
customize how the frame and modules communicate. For most networking configurations,
they should not be changed.

SEL-FR3 63
There are two Ethernet connections on the frame. The frame communicates with other
devices, including the web browser, using Control Ethernet. If the Selenio controller module
is equipped with an optional video IP submodule, you also have Data Ethernet. The Data
Ethernet settings determine how Tx (transmission) and Rx (receiver) packets are handled
and deals with compressed video over IP. The numbers will be constantly increasing, and will
create a lot of network traffic.
For a complete list of tree view parameters, see the HTML file that accompanies this
manual.
When you change a control parameter, the effect is immediate. However, it may take up to
30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will
be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.

1 The Module Input Fault fault indicates an interface fault occurred on a module in the frame. Interface faults are usually
generated by another fault condition in the module. For instance, the Loss of Video fault condition will generate an EXT SDI
In interface fault if this interface is defined. Check the Active Faults section of the Dashboard area when receiving an
Module Input Fault fault message.
2 When using an external reference to the frame, if the Input Reference Source Select field (General/Reference section) is set
to Auto, the controller module will automatically switch to the internal reference signal if it detects the absence of the external
reference. The Reference absent fault will not be issued if the fault trigger time is above the time that it takes to switch over
to the internal reference (usually within few seconds). Adjust the trigger time accordingly if a Reference absent fault is
needed.
3 The controller module will shut down any module if overheating occurs, and then issues a Module Shutdown fault message
to notify users about the problem. At this point, the power line reaching the module slot is disabled. Reseating the module
or inserting a new one in the same slot will not reactivate the slot. To restore power to the slot, reset the failed slot. To prevent
overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all back module slots covered.

SEL-FR3 65

• Favorites—Displays just the favorite parameters for the device. Only an administrator
user can designate favorites. An operator user can only control favorites. See Using
Favorites on page 70.
The Faults tab displays control settings for all faults on the module, input, or frame.
Depending on the type of module, controls and options may vary. See the documentation
for each module for complete descriptions.
Viewing Read-Only Parameters

Read-only parameters feed back the current state of a specific parameter. Figure 2-21
provides an example of an enumeration parameter.

66 Chapter 2
Figure 2-20 Example of a List Parameter
Changing a List Parameter

List parameters contain a list of possible values for a specific parameter. Enumeration and
string-list parameter changes are always delayed. List parameters are identifiable by the
arrow in the right corner of the button. In addition, when you roll the mouse over a list
parameter, the button highlights.
The button for a list parameter shows the current selection for that parameter.
Figure 2-21 List Parameter
Figure 2-22 List Parameter With its List Open
To adjust that parameter, click the list. The current parameter value is in the parameter bar.
Use the mouse or the arrow keys on the keyboard to select a different item in the list.
Changing a Range Parameter

Each Range parameter provides an incremented slider to choose a value within the range.
Numeric parameters values are represented by a sliding bar on the display screen. A
progress bar indicates where the current value is within the entire range the parameter
presents. The current value is shown at the right of the progress bar.
Figure 2-23 provides an example of a numeric parameter.
Figure 2-23 Example of a Numeric Parameter

SEL-FR3 67
To change the parameter’s value:
• Using the mouse, drag the slider to the left or right to decrease or increase the
parameter value.
• Click Up or Down in the spin control.
• Use the mouse or tab button to select the parameter, and then press the left and right
arrow keys on the keyboard to decrease or increase the parameter value.
As you adjust a numeric parameter, the value is immediately set on the product.
Changing a String Parameter

String parameters are items that can be renamed using text characters. String parameter
changes do not take effect until the entire string has been modified. Use a keyboard, or
copy and paste, to enter a value.
Figure 2-24 provides an example of a string parameter.
Figure 2-24 Example of a String Parameter
To modify string parameters, follow these steps:
1 Use the mouse or tab button to select the parameter you want to modify.
2 To modify the string, do one of the following:
• Type new data using your computer keyboard.

OR
• Copy and paste data from another program or another portion of the screen. Copy and
paste is particularly useful when adding nonintuitive data such as license keys.
Navigating Table Parameters

A table parameter links multiple instances of the same parameter or series of parameters.
This is particularly useful with multiple-stream modules such as encoders and multiplexers.
You can select multiple channels and apply the same settings to multiple inputs, outputs,
audio streams, etc. at a time, or copy multiple settings from one row to another within the
table.

68 Chapter 2
Some parameters are easily divided into groups, where much duplication occurs. Table
parameters provide an interface to view a large number of settings in a single screen. When
a large number of parameters are duplicated over a series of inputs, outputs, or controls,
Selenio Control Panel displays those parameters as a table, so you can view the various
settings for various streams.
Drag here
Figure 2-25 Table Parameter Initial View
The table parameter in Table 2-25 is for the Multiplexer, which is highlighted in the block
diagram.
The screen is divided into three panes when you use a table parameter. You can drag the
divider between these panes to view more or less of the table, parameters, etc.
The table portion of the screen, as shown in Figure 2-26, has a row for each item for which
the series of parameters applies.

SEL-FR3 69
Figure 2-26 Table Parameter Display
Use the slider at the bottom of the screen to see the complete list of parameters. Due to the
table structure, you can see where parameters vary from the norm, for example due to an
error condition or different type of input, etc. The table is not editable.
To change a parameter, first select the row. The Parameter pane updates to display the
settings for that row (it defaults to display the parameters for the first row in the table). The
top right corner of the screen updates to indicate which row the parameters are for.
Figure 2-27 Parameters for a Row in the Parameter Table
The individual parameter control types are the same as for regular parameters.

70 Chapter 2
Using Favorites for a module are usually the most commonly used parameters. Only an
Favorites administrator user can select favorites. An operator user can only modify parameters that
are designated as favorites. All other parameters in the other views are view-only for
operator users.
When viewing parameters in the Block or All mode, each parameter has a small star in the
top right corner. This indicates the Favorites state for that parameter.
Table 2-19 Parameter Favorites States

Color State
Grey Not a favorite
Yellow Favorite
Selecting Favorites
Follow these steps to select or update the favorites list for a device:

2 In the system explorer at the left of the screen, select the device for which you would like to
designate favorites.
3 Select the All view or the Block view (in the case of modules that have one).
4 Browse the parameters in the module.
• To designate a parameter as a favorite, click the grey favorite indicator in the top right
corner of the parameter control.
• To remove the favorite designation from a parameter, click the pink favorite indicator in
the top right corner of the parameter control.
5 When you are satisfied with the favorites designated for a module, click Save Favorites.
Favorites you have designated (checked) are saved in local memory until you reconnect to
the frame. When you select Favorites view, parameters listed there will reflect the items for
that device that are selected, even if you switch to another device (in the same frame).
However, users on other PCs will not be able to see the updated favorites list, and if you
browse away from the frame without saving favorites, your changes will be lost.
Favorite parameters are stored on the controller module, and once saved, can be used by
any operator on the system.
Keep in mind that if administrators on different PCs are adjusting the favorites list for a
module, their changes will overwrite each other’s. You will not see updated favorites from
another PC until you refresh.
Viewing Favorites
When you select the Favorites tab, all parameters marked as favorites appear on the screen.
Using A preset is like a snapshot of a module’s parameters. You can create a preset from one
Presets module, and then load it onto another module of the same type. (For example, if you have
a frame full of XD1 modules that you want to configure with the same settings, you could
configure one, and then create a preset from that module. You could then load that preset
to each of the other identical modules, applying the same settings.) Presets are saved on the
Selenio controller module, and can be backed up to a computer, USB key, etc.

SEL-FR3 71
Presets can be read like any other XML document. You can e-mail presets and perform
other normal functions just like any other file.
Presets can be created for the following parts of a Selenio system:
• Device preset—Contains the parameters for the selected node. The device can be any
module within the frame, including the controller module.
• System preset—Contains parameters for all devices in the frame, including the
controller module and all regular slot modules.
There are two types of presets stored on the controller module:
• System Presets - includes all parameters on the controller module and all parameters
across all modules installed in the frame
• Module Presets - all parameters for an individual module or modules that are
combined together (eg: FS1 + AAEX)
The controller has 20 memory locations for system presets and 90 memory locations for
module presets. System presets may be recalled on another frame if the module types and
slot locations are identical.
Module presets may be recalled even though the configuration of the module may be
different for the saved presets. For matching parameters, the parameter will be recalled
from the preset. A preset from a different module cannot be recalled by a different module
(eg: Does not allow recalling an XD1 preset to FS1, and vice versa).
Presets appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Figure 2-28 Preset Options
To view the presets available for any module in the frame, including the controller module,
select
• Module presets—When you select a device and then look at the presets available for
that device, all presets created for all versions of that device will appear. So if you had a
module in the frame and removed it, and then replaced it with another device of the
same type, then all presets created for both devices will appear as available for the
module.
• System Presets—Lists all system presets stored in the controller module.
• All Module Presets—Lists all frame and module presets stored on the controller
module, whether those presets are usable in the frame's current configuration or not.
This display mode is primarily intended for deleting unused, unneeded presets.
You can perform various functions, including the following:

72 Chapter 2
• Create preset—Saves a snapshot of the parameters on a selected module (can be any

module in the frame, including the controller module) or the entire contents of the
frame.
• Load preset—sends preset to the module.
• Refresh—Requests the list of presets that are stored on the controller module. The
display will not update if, for example, a preset is created on another system that is
connected to the frame, unless you refresh the view.
Creating a Device Preset

A device preset is a snapshot of the settings of all the parameters on an individual module
at the point when the preset was created. To create a preset using the Selenio control
interface, follow these steps:

2 In the System Explorer section of the screen, select the module for which you want to
create a preset.
3 Select Device Presets in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
4 Click Edit > New.
The Create New Preset dialog box opens.
Figure 2-29 Create new Preset Dialog Box
5 Enter a descriptive name of your preset.

You cannot look at the settings of a preset to find out if it’s the one you want; you have to
load the preset to view its settings, so a descriptive name is important.
6 Click OK.
Your preset is saved.
Creating a System Preset

A system preset is a snapshot of the settings of all the parameters at the point when the
preset was created. To create a preset using the Selenio control interface, follow these
steps:

2 Select System Presets in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
3 Click Edit > New.
The Create New Preset dialog box opens.

SEL-FR3 73

4 Enter a descriptive name of your preset.

You cannot look at the settings of a preset to find out if it’s the one you want; you have to
load the preset to view its settings, so a descriptive name is important.
5 Click OK.
Your preset is saved.
Loading a Preset to a Module

The process of applying the settings included in a preset file is referred to as Loading. When
loading presets, you may need to wait some time for changes on the module to appear.
To load a preset file to a module of the same type using the Selenio control interface, follow
these steps:

create a preset.
4 Click on a preset in the list that appears.
5 Click Load.
The selected preset is loaded to the selected module.
The Preset list only shows presets that are compatible with the selected device, so it is not
possible to load a preset to a device for which it does not apply.
If there are multiple of the same type of module in the frame, then presets created on all
like devices will appear in the list for each device. You may need to click Refresh to see the
preset on other applicable devices.
In this way, it is easy to copy settings between modules. You should be careful when
loading presets to ensure that the firmware is consistent with the firmware on each device.
If parameters are not available or have settings that are inconsistent with the firmware on a
device, those settings will be ignored, and the default setting will be chosen instead.
Using Factory Recall

Factory recall returns all parameters on a module (either a module in one of the 14 module
slots, or the controller module) to their default settings.

74 Chapter 2
To return a module to its default parameter settings, follow these steps:

2 In the System Explorer section of the screen, select the module you want to set to
defaults.
3 Select Edit > Factory Recall.
4 On the confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK to continue (otherwise, click Cancel
to abort).
The selected module returns to its default parameter settings.
When resetting to factory defaults, you may need to wait a few seconds for changes on the
module to appear.
Loading a Preset to a Frame

The process of applying the settings included in a preset file is referred to as Loading.
To load a preset file to a frame, follow these steps:

3 Click on a preset in the list that appears.
4 Click Load.
5 The selected preset is loaded to the selected module.
A system preset can only load parameters to devices list only shows presets that are
compatible with the selected device, so it is not possible to load a preset to a device for
which it does not apply.
If there are multiple of the same type of module in the frame, then presets created on all
like devices will appear in the list for each device. in this way, it is easy to copy settings
between modules. You should be careful when loading presets to ensure that the firmware
is consistent with the firmware on each device. If parameters are not available or have
settings that are inconsistent with the firmware on a device, those settings will be ignored,
and the default setting will be chosen instead.
Renaming a Preset
2 Click on a preset in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
Presets can be renamed in the Device Presets, System Presets, or All Presets lists.
3 Select Edit > Rename.

4 In the Rename Preset dialog box, enter a new name for the preset, and then click OK.
The preset’s name is updated immediately in the open list. The update may not appear in
other lists where that preset appears (in the All Presets list, in Device Presets lists for other
like devices, etc.) until you click Refresh.
Deleting a Preset
You can only delete one preset at a time.

SEL-FR3 75

3 Select Edit > Delete.

4 In the Delete Preset dialog box, click OK.
The preset’s name is removed immediately in the open list. The update may not appear in
other lists where that preset appears (in the All Presets list, in Device Presets lists for other
like devices, etc.) until you click Refresh.
Exporting a Preset
When you export a preset, you save it to the computer on which you are browsing to the
Selenio Control software (otherwise, all presets are stored on the controller module for the
Selenio frame, which is why you can see all presets created by all users for a device, and
why presets are easily shared between modules of the same type). To transfer a preset to a
different Selenio frame, you must first export it. Follow these steps:

3 Select Edit > Export.

The Export Preset dialog opens.
4 Select a location for the preset to be stored in, and then click OK.
Presets are stored as XML files.
Importing a Preset to a Module

When transferring a module preset from a different Selenio frame to the current frame, you
only need to import it once. After it has been imported, it will be available to all compatible
devices.
To import a preset using the Selenio control interface, follow these steps:

import a preset.
4 Click Edit > Import.
The Import Preset dialog opens.
5 Browse to the location where your presets are stored, and then select a preset.
6 Click OK.
If there are multiple of the same type of module in the frame, then the preset will appear in
the list for each applicable device. You may need to click Refresh to see the preset on other
applicable devices.

76 Chapter 2
Importing a Preset to a Frame

To import a preset file to a frame, follow these steps:

3 Click Edit > Import.
The Import Preset dialog opens.
4 Browse to the location where your presets are stored, and then select a preset.
5 Click OK.
If the preset is incompatible with the frame (has devices that are not in the frame, does not
have devices that are in the frame), then those portions of the preset will be ignored when
applied to the current frame.
Configuring On the home page for the Selenio frame, each module that has a fault condition appears
with a flashing border to indicate the severity of the fault.
Module
Faults You can configure the faults for a module (including the Controller module) by selecting
that module in the device tree, and then clicking the Faults tab on the control panel for that
module.
Figure 2-31 Module Faults
At the top of the panel, you can sort the faults list using the following check boxes:

SEL-FR3 77
• Sort all by active—Puts active faults at the top of the list. Active major faults are
highlighted in red. The row of a minor fault is highlighted in yellow.
• Show All—Displays all faults for the module in a continuous list.
When you select this option, you can filter the fault list by entering a keyword in the
Sort by Name field (which appears when Show All is selected. Click the page numbers
to the right of the check box to view other pages of faults.
You can also sort the faults by the column headers, as described in Table 2-20.
Table 2-20 Fault Column Headers

Column Header Description
ID [RO] A sequential label for the fault—each fault has an unique ID,
starting from 1
Fault Name [RO] A short description of the fault that you can use to find a longer
description in the module’s manual, or in its HTML parameter list
Error Level [RO] An indicator of the priority of the alarm:
• Major faults display red when active, and have a priority of
6-10
• Minor faults display yellow when active, and have a priority of
1-5
Enable/Disable The master setting that determines whether the alarm will activate
• Enabled—the defined condition generates a fault
• Disabled—the condition is ignored
By default, all faults are disabled.
Priority A number from 1-10 indicating whether a triggered fault is
reported as major or minor; a priority of 6 or higher is a major fault,
and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor fault
Trigger (sec) The duration over which the fault condition must exist (in seconds)
before the fault is triggered. If the fault level is reached for less time
than the Trigger duration, then the fault will not trigger. Choose
any duration from 0 to 100 seconds. If Trigger is set to 0 and the
fault condition exists for any period of time, the fault is triggered.
Clear (sec) The amount of time the fault condition must be in abatement in
order for the fault to be turned off. Choose any duration from 0 to
100 seconds. If Clear is set to 0 and the fault condition ceases for
any period of time, the fault is cleared.
Ack An indicator as to whether or not the alarm has been
acknowledged; when a fault is active, click this option to allow
other users on the network to see that you have acknowledged the
fault
Active [RO] An indicator of whether the alarm is active (triggered) or inactive
Modifying a Fault’s Properties

1 Click a row in the Fault table.
To the right of the table, that fault’s properties appear as parameters.
2 Use standard parameter modification tools to change the fault’s properties.

Changes take place immediately.
