4.1 Identificazione della porta

• Ethernet Output Ports (1-16): These 16 RJ45 ports are used for outputting converted signals to display devices or other network equipment.
• Control Ethernet Port: An RJ45 port labeled 'CONTROL ETHERNET' for connecting to a control PC or network for device configuration and management.
• Porta USB: A USB Type-B port for direct connection to a computer for configuration or firmware updates.
• Optical Fiber Ports (OPT 1-4): Four SFP+ slots for fiber optic input. OPT 1 and OPT 2 are designated as 'MASTER' inputs, while OPT 3 and OPT 4 serve as 'BACKUP' inputs for redundancy.
• AC Power Inputs: Two AC 100-240V~50/60Hz power inputs. One is a standard IEC C14 inlet, and the other is a Neutrik powerCON compatible connector, providing redundant power options.
• Interruttore di alimentazione: Accende o spegne il dispositivo.

5. Istruzioni per l'installazione

Follow these steps to set up your Novastar CVT4K-S Fiber Converter:

1. Collegamento elettrico: Connect the provided AC power cable to one of the AC power input ports on the rear panel and plug it into a suitable power outlet (AC 100-240V~50/60Hz). For redundancy, connect a second power cable to the other input.
2. Ingresso fibra ottica: Insert the SFP+ modules (not included) into the desired optical fiber ports (OPT 1-4). Connect your fiber optic cables from the signal source to these SFP+ modules. Use OPT 1/2 for primary input and OPT 3/4 for backup if redundancy is required.
3. Uscita Ethernet: Connect standard Ethernet cables from the 16 Ethernet output ports (1-16) to your receiving devices, such as LED display panels or other network equipment.
4. Collegamento di controllo (facoltativo): For device configuration and monitoring, connect an Ethernet cable from the 'CONTROL ETHERNET' port to your control PC or network switch. Alternatively, use a USB cable to connect the USB port directly to a PC.
5. Accensione: Flip the power switch to the 'ON' position. The device will power on, and indicator lights will illuminate.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

Once the Novastar CVT4K-S is set up, operating it involves ensuring proper signal flow and, if necessary, configuring settings via the control interface.

1. Flusso del segnale: The CVT4K-S automatically converts the incoming optical fiber signal into Ethernet signals, which are then output through the 16 Ethernet ports. Ensure your signal source is active and transmitting data.
2. Luci di segnalazione: Observe the indicator lights on the device. These typically indicate power status, signal presence, and data activity on the respective ports. Refer to the device's specific LED behavior for detailed status information.
3. Configuration (via Control Software): If advanced settings or monitoring are required, connect your control PC via the Ethernet or USB port. Use the official Novastar control software (available from Novastar's website) to access and adjust device parameters. This may include input/output mapping, redundancy settings, and status monitoring.
4. Ridondanza: If using the backup optical fiber inputs (OPT 3/4), the device will automatically switch to the backup input if the primary (OPT 1/2) signal is lost, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

7. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CVT4K-S Fiber Converter.

• Pulizia: Pulire periodicamente l'esterno del dispositivo con un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o spray. Assicurarsi che le aperture di ventilazione siano libere da polvere e detriti.
• Gestione dei cavi: Ensure all cables are securely connected and not under undue stress. Avoid sharp bends in fiber optic cables.
• Aggiornamenti del firmware: Controlla il sito ufficiale di Novastar website periodically for firmware updates. Applying updates can improve performance, add features, or resolve issues. Follow the provided instructions carefully during firmware updates.
• Magazzinaggio: When not in use, store the device in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your CVT4K-S, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nessun potere:
  • Verificare che il cavo di alimentazione sia collegato saldamente sia al dispositivo sia alla presa di corrente.
  • Assicurarsi che l'interruttore di alimentazione sia in posizione "ON".
  • Verificare che la presa di corrente funzioni testandola con un altro dispositivo.
• Nessuna uscita del segnale:
  • Confirm that the fiber optic input cables are correctly connected and the SFP+ modules are properly seated.
  • Check the signal source to ensure it is active and transmitting.
  • Verify that the Ethernet output cables are securely connected to the receiving devices.
  • Check the status indicator lights for the fiber and Ethernet ports; they should indicate activity.
• Connessione instabile:
  • Ispezionare tutti i cavi per verificare che non vi siano danni o collegamenti allentati.
  • Ensure the SFP+ modules are compatible and functioning correctly.
  • Check for environmental interference or excessive cable lengths that might affect signal integrity.
• Control Software Not Connecting:
  • Ensure the control Ethernet or USB cable is properly connected.
  • Verify network settings on your PC if using an Ethernet connection (IP address, subnet mask).
  • Restart the control software and the CVT4K-S device.
