IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this equipment near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do no block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the equipment
instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other apparatus that
produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has
two blades and third grounding prong. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments and accessories specified by Ensemble Designs.
Unplug this equipment when not used for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
equipment has been damaged in any way, such as when a power-supply
cord is damaged, liquid has been spilled or subjects have fallen into the
equipment, the equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Risk of electric shock. Qualified service personnel should only access
power supply after frame has been unplugged from power.
This product may contain lasers. This is a Class A Laser Product. The
optical output emits invisible radiation. Do not stare directly into the
optical output beam or view directly with optical instruments.
If the equipment is installed in a moveable cart, use caution when
moving the equipment to avoid injury from tip-over.
Avenue Intersection Frame

AVENUE INTERSECTION FRAME OVERVIEW
The Avenue Intersection Frame is a compact, high-density, 1 RU unit that holds up to ten
fiber optic I/O modules. The Avenue Frame can be integrated into an Avenue network or
can be used as an independent optical product, depending on the application.
The front of the frame, shown in the illustration below, has LED status indication for
power, input signal presence and laser fault. The rear of the frame has one ethernet
connector and two AveNet connectors for the Avenue control interface.
Any combination of up to ten 3710 IS, 3720, 3750 and 3760 Electrical and Optical
modules can be used in the Intersection frame. BNCs and SC optical connectors are on
the modules, not on the frame. Modules plug into the frame from the rear.
The Intersection Frame has the following features:
• Use with Optical/Electrical Converter modules
• Optional System Control module provides AveNet and ethernet interface
• Use independently or tie to an Avenue 3RU frame for control
• SNMP monitoring
• Complete, integrated solution for using optical and electrical signals
in the same facility
• Optional Redundant Power
The Avenue Intersection Frame has a System Control module that enables the frame to
tie into the Avenue control system, just like any other Avenue frame or control surface.
The Avenue Intersection Frame appears as a frame device in the Avenue Control System.
Control and status in the Intersection frame are presented to the user through the
existing Avenue Control System, through Avenue PC or an Avenue Control Panel.
The Avenue Intersection Frame can also be matched to the modules in an Avenue 3RU
Frame through the control system. This matching provides superior integration, allowing
the customer to look at a signal path without concern for the use of both frames. For
example, a signal might pass through an 8500 converter and frame sync and then
through the 3710 electrical to optical converter. This signal could be viewed from one set
of menus through Avenue PC or an Avenue Control Panel.
Redundant power is optional and there are two AC line connectors.

INTERSECTION FRAME NETWORKING
In the illustration below, an Avenue Intersection Frame is interfaced to a complete Avenue
system via AveNet. Any number of Avenue frames, Touch Screens, and Tabletop or
Express Control panels can be connected via AveNet using twisted pair cable. PCs connect
to any frame via Ethernet.

Warning
Rick of electric shock. Qualifed service personael should only access
power supply after frame has been unplugged from power.
This is a Class A Laser Product. The optical output emits invisible
radiation. Do not stare directly into the optical output beam or view
directly with optical instruments.
INTERSECTION FRAME INSTALLATION
The 1 RU Avenue Intersection Frame is designed to be installed in a standard 19 inch
rack with four customer-supplied standard rack screws. This section explains any physical
installation and cabling instructions necessary for using Avenue Intersection Frames.
After physical installation, network configuration of the Local controls on the Control
module in the frame. Refer to the Configuration section of this data pack.
5065 Power Supplies
Each Avenue Intersection frame includes a single 5065 Power Supply module. It installs
in the upper right slot of the frame. Power is provided to all modules in the frame where
it is regulated to the required voltages for the module. A redundant power supply can be
ordered. Power supplies are hot-swappable.
Cabling
Network connection of an Intersection Frame is made on the rear of the panel as
illustrated below. The Intersection Frame can communicate with Avenue frames through
via Ethernet or through an AveNet connection.

AveNet:
AveNet is the Avenue control bus that allows communication between frames by the
System Control modules in each frame. Up to 20 frames can be connected on each
individual AveNet network. Any number of AveNet networks can then be connected
together via Ethernet. AveNet connection between frames requires looping between
the standard RJ11 LAN connectors of each frame with standard phone cable or
custom-made simple twisted pair LAN cable. The unused connectors must be
terminated with 100 ohm LAN terminations at the first and last frames in the group.
Pinouts of the RJ11 connector and termination are shown below.
Each Avenue device on the AveNet LAN network must have a different AveNet
address. The address is set using the Status menu functions on the front of the
System Control module in each frame.
Ethernet:
Avenue Intersection Frames may be connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet network. The
IP Address for each frame in the network is set on the System Control module in each
frame or frames connected to the Ethernet network. The Avenue backplanes have a
standard RJ45 connector for Ethernet interface.
Each Avenue device on the Ethernet network must have a different IP Address,
including the Express Panel. The address for the frame is set using the Status menu
functions on the front of the System Control Module in each frame, or a Touch Screen
or Express Panel. Refer to the Intersection Networking section for detailed
information.

5070 System Control Module
The optional 5070 System Control Module provides the Ethernet and AveNet interface
connections to an Avenue Intersection frame. The module is required for remotely
controlling and configuring the frame modules from the Avenue remote control options
which include the Touch Screen panels and the Avenue PC Control Application Software.
A Status menu on the front of the module in the Intersection frame provides Ethernet,
and Reference communication indicators. Status menu functions also allow viewing of the
current software version, viewing and setting of AveNet and IP addresses and a Touch
Screen Panel reset function.

SETTING AVENET AND IP ADDRESSES
Networking an Avenue frame is explained in detail in the Avenue System Overview. This
data pack is available online from http://www.ensembledesigns.com.
For networking the Intersection frame into an Avenue network, the AveNet and IP
addresses of each frame must be set at the frame using the Status menu functions on the
front of the System Control Module. The Status menu display and the switches are shown
in the illustration on the next page.
The Status menu is used for various purposes. It acts continuously as a status indicator
for showing system communication between the Avenue frame and external Ethernet and
External Reference connections. A series of menu functions can also be accessed through
the Status menu as listed below:
• Display current software version running on this control module
• View and change AveNet and IP addresses
• Enable AVIP function and set lower and upper AveNet addresses in frame group.
