Audio switching is provided by dry contact relays, with full balanced stereo capability. The unit incorporates a timer programmed to control the switch. The video/rf connectors are F type, and the audio connectors are detachable screw terminals. The unit has an embedded ethernet controller, functioning as an addressable server. Also provided is an input for a contact closure to ground (CTRL and GND) for manual control. The unit has a manual TEST switch, to allow the user to switch from primary to secondary as long as the switch is depressed. IF EITHER OF THESE TWO SWITCHES ARE CLOSED, [i.e, the TEST SWITCH IS DE- PRESSED OR THE CTRL SCREW TERMINAL IS CLOSED - SHORTED TO THE GND TERMINAL] THEY HAVE COMMAND OF THE SWITCH, AND NEITHER TIMED EVENTS NOR REMOTE CONTROL OF THE SWITCH IS POSSIBLE. THIS PERMITS USE OF THE SWITCH LOCALLY IF REQUIRED; i.e.. IF ETHERNET CONNECTION IS LOST SO THAT A LOCAL OVER RIDE IS REQUIRED. A Reset switch returns the unit to its default state if necessary. The CD provided contains a program to allow configuring of the included web server, as well as an instruction manual describing its operation. Description of the operation is shown later, with screen shots to illustrate the sequence of operations. The unit incorporates a real time clock, acccurate to better than 1 second per week, that may be set or reset with time sources from the intranet (or internet) depending upon how the user connects it. If a network time server is available on the ethernet connection where the 639 resides, the 639 may be set to update the clock daily for increased accuracy. Up to 100 separate weekly events, and up to 20 separate dated events may be entered. The unit stores the last 2000 events that have occured.

Included in Carton 1 639 1 Power Module 1 CD with setup software and Instruction Manual 2 9 pin jacks for audio INSTALLATION 6 The unit is supplied in an ABS flanged case for mounting wherever desired. F connectors are used for the Video/RF signals, one each for the primary and secondary input signals, and one for the ouput signal. Two 9 pin detachable connectors using screw terminals allow connection of the balanced stereo audio signals, the power input to the unit, and the attachment of an external control, if required. A green LED indicates that the unit is in the primary mode, with the relays in an off state. A red LED indicates that the unit has switched to allow the secondary inputs to be routed to the common outputs. The green LED blinks regularly to indicate that the unit is functioning. The user may use the Reset switch if the IP address of the NetBurner ethernet controller has been misplaced, to reset it to its default value. Refer to the included NetBurner manual on the CD for setup instructions. The Test switch allows the unit to be switched from primary to secondary during installation to provide an aid to wiring, or to ensure the unit is operational. The control from the embedded timer has control over the switches if the CTRL control is not used, as noted on page 4. The user may enter the control of the unit from the ethernet connec- tions, to manually change the state - ON or OFF - of the switches. The CTRL and TEST inputs will only change the state of the switches IF the unit is in the primary mode; i.e. if the primary inputs are routed to the common outputs. If the unit is in the secondary mode, with the secondary inputs routed to the common outputs, there will be no switching. It is intended primarily to test the connections when first connecting the unit, to ensure the proper routing has been accomplished. 7 SETTING UP THE NET BURNER A manual and a program for the 639 entitled IPSetup.EXE is included on the CD provided with the unit. Make sure that the 639 to be set up is powered up, and is connected to your computer or to your network, before opening this program. [If connecting di- rectly from your computer, use a crossover cable.] Notice, in the screen shot above that a 639 has been detected. If this unit has not been set up, it will have a default of 192.168.0.2. However, this particular device has been set up already. This should be one of the choices shown in the screen shot from your device. To change this to the IP address you desire, merely type into the NDK Settings the address IP, the Gateway and the DNS on the left side to program this address. Then click on Set, and the program will modify your device. Select Close to finish. If you forget the IP address or password used for the unit, you can reset the unit to the default address and/or password by: Removing power from the unit, inserting a paper clip or similar item into the reset switch, and keeping it depressed after you re-apply power as follows: When the reset button is held down while applying power, the 639 will go into reset process. The red LED is on. If the reset button is down for 2-7 seconds, the relay will click once and the green LED blinks. If the Reset button is released at this time, it will reset password to 639set. If the reset button is down for 8-29 seconds, the relay will click once and the green LED blinks. If the Reset button is released at this time, it will reset password and the IP to 192.168.0.2. If the reset button is down for 30 seconds or more, the relay will click twice and the green LED blinks. The 639 will go to normal operation and No Reset will happen. The Reset button is ignored in this case. Refer to the previous page to utilize NetBurner IPSetup to continue setting the IP information. If you are connected to the unit through a network, you must use the NetBurner IPSetup program supplied with your unit on the included CD. This program is also available on the NetBurner web page. 8 9 PROGRAMMING EVENTS After setting the IP address for the 639, we enter them into a browser and the following screen opens. To set up the unit, click on the Setup/Control button, and the following page opens: This page asks for the Password to allow setting parameters of the device. The default for this from the factory is 639set for the Password. The password is case sensitive. Enter the Password and click Submit, and you will see the following. 10 The menus on this page do the following: Label allows entry of a Device Name for the unit. Useful if more than one 639 is being used in a system. TimeClock lets the user set the onboard clock in several ways. Programming lets the user enter what the switch will be doing, how it will be doing it and at what time(s). The EventLog displays what events have happened in the switch. Network displays, and allows resetting the network settings. Password allows the setting of both the setup password, and the setting of the user password and whether it is required or not. Control takes the user to the Control page. Home returns us to the first page seen. Now click on Label Here is the Label Page: After entering a name for the device, click Save. Now set the clock. Click on TimeClock, and get the following screen: 11 The user may set the date/time by clicking Manual Set Time as shown below, then click Submit Date & Time: 12 Or use Set from Computer Clock as indicated here: The third choice is only available if your network has a Network Time Protocol server available, as shown below : If you select Set Time from NTP, the time will be automatically set immedi- ately. Also, the function of auto update time from NTP at midnight is the default setting. If you wish to disable this function, click on Disable auto update time from NTP at midnight. The advantage of using it with a network time function (NTP) is the constant synchronization of the clock in the 639. If the DNS function is not familiar to you, consult your IT department. 13 This allows the use of a unique and more secure password than the default one. Now click Save. The changing of the Network settings should be done with the concurrence of the IT department, and is done as below: Next check the Password and the following screen appears: When finished, click Save to enter your new settings into the 639. 14 After all the settings are done, begin programming. Click on Programming and we get this screen. Here, in the Weekly Programs list, select Add a Weekly Program at the End to add a new program to be executed every week. Continue adding events until all are entered. The user should note that the 639 looks at the program list, and executes the last entered if more than one are entered for the same day/hour. The next screen shows the screen and the entries to be made for each event. 15 We may enter two types of events; One type occurs regularly, every week. It may be every day, or only Sunday, but every week it occurs again as pro- grammed. The other type occurs only on a specified schedule. It may be on a single date, or on every day during a single month, during this year or an- other year. The unit allows only 100 weekly events and 20 dated events to be entered. The Event Name is to describe the action for later reference, the Switch Ac- tion describes whether Pri. or Sec. is to be routed to the output. Select one or more of the weekdays to perform the action, or Every day if desired. Enter the Hour the action will happen, and at what minute (0-59). If you want the action to occur every hour, for example, enter ** in the hours. If every minute, enter ** in the minutes. Then click on SAVE to save this event. Otherwise click on Reset if you want to start over, or cancel if you do not want to save it, and wish to cease entering events. 16 Here is a screen shot of the Programming page for Weekly Programs with several entries: The status line will show how many times this has occured in this example. Clicking on Reset Program Status resets these counters. If you want to export the program list, click on Export Program List. This will send your program list in a format for re-entering it into this or another 639 later. If you want to save the program listing in a .txt file, click on Download Program List, and it will be sent to your browsers download folder. To reload your program list that you have saved, click on Import Program List and the following screen appears: 17 Select the file you have saved labeled ME639.xpt, and import it, and you have re-programmed your 639. This is a simple way to program multiple 639 units with the same data. 18 To enter Dated Programs, which will occur at a specific date (or dates) click on Go to Dated Program List, as shown in the figure on the previous page. The screen on the next page shows the Dated Programs screen. To add a dated program, select Add a Dated program at the End, and see this screen: 19 This screen shows no dated program events entered. Enter an Event Name to describe this event, select the Switch Action to take. Then enter the Year (00-99), which Month you wish (or ** if you wish it to occur every month, the Date, 1-31 for one specific date, or ** for every day of the month, the Hour or ** if it is to occur every hour, and the Minute or ** if it is to occur every minute. Then select SAVE to save this entry. Editing and deleting of individual events is accomplished in the Programming page(s) of Switch Setup. The other commands in the Programming pages are self explanatory. Note that you can export the program list from a unit, and if you wish to program a duplicate unit, you may Import Program List to the new unit to do this. When programming is complete, click on the one of the other labels or to the Home label to return to the Home page. 20 This screen shows us we have added a Dated Program to the unit, and then clicked the Submit button. If you then select Monitor, the page shows like this: 21 This page shows the state of the switches, the date and time, the Next Event, and the Event Logged (up to 200 on this page), as well as the means to Download All Event Log. It also shows the Next Event, whether Dated or not. If the contact closure on the switch - or the test switch - is closed [Ctrl termi- nal is closed, or shorted to Gnd], you will see the following screen: 22 Click on View Program List, and this page occurs as in the example below.This page shows the Program List, and allows us to Download Pro- gram List. This concludes the programming of the 639. 23
