1. OVERVIEW
The 7700PTX Universal Protocol Translator module provides an interface between third-party and
Evertz equipment. The 7700PTX communicates with third-party equipment either via one of four serial
ports or via a built in Ethernet port. These ports can provide bi-directional protocol support.
Function:
The function of the 7700PTX generally falls into one of 4 categories:
1. Third-Party Router Control: In this mode the 7700PTX affords VistaLINK®the ability to control
and monitor third-party routers. The 7700PTX can convey UMD information to Evertz
monitoring equipment.
2. Third-Party UMD Interface: In this mode the 7700PTX translates third-party UMD protocol data
into a format suitable for Evertz monitoring equipment.
3. Third-Party Switcher Interface: In this mode the 7700PTX extracts tally information from third-
party switchers and translates and conveys that tally information to Evertz monitoring
equipment.
4. Third-Party Device Control: In this mode the 7700PTX allows VistaLINK®to control third-party
devices such as satellite controllers.
Features:
•4 serial ports RS232/422 selectable
•Modular, conveniently fits into 7700FR-C 3RU frame
•Frame status trigger
•VistaLINK®- capable for remote monitoring and control via SNMP (using VistaLINK®PRO)
The 7700PTX-STP is designed to retrieve the serial tally information, via a RS-422 serial link, from a
DVS-7000 series switcher using the Serial Tally Protocol. The 7700PTX-STP can relay this information
for up to 12 MVP output cards via TCP. The user can select up to 4 switcher blocks from those listed in
Table 1-1. The 7700PTX-STP determines which of the switcher’s 80 primary sources contributes to the
output of the selected block(s).

1 PP on-air
2 PP standby
3 ME1 on-air
4 ME1 standby
5 ME2 on-air

2. CARD EDGE CONTROLS
2.1. DETERMINING CURRENT IP ADDRESS SETTINGS
To read the current IP address during normal operation, press the front switch DOWN. The IP address
can be read on the four-character alphanumeric display.
2.2. RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS
To restore all settings to factory defaults, apply power to the card while holding the toggle switch UP
until the green LED is illuminated.
2.3. CARD EDGE LEDS
LED 22 is illuminated when Ethernet activity is detected.
All other card edge LEDs are for factory use only.

4. CONFIGURATION
4.1. CONFIGURATION STEPS
To configure the 7700PTX-STP perform the following steps:
1. Connect a PC running a console application to the PTX debug/monitor port via the adapter
cable.
2. Configure the PTX network parameters.
3. Configure the parameters of the serial port to match those of the switcher.
4. Configure the Serial Tally Protocol parameters.
5. Configure the IP address and TCP port of each UMD peer (MVP output card) that will receive
tally information.
6. Power off the 7700PTX-STP.
7. Physically wire the serial port of the 7700PTX-STP to the serial port of the switcher.
8. Power on the 7700PTX-STP.
4.2. DEBUG/MONITOR PORT CONNECTION
The 7700PTX-STP is configured via the debug/monitor port, the header of which is labeled J1. A
special Evertz adapter cable allows this port to connect to the COM port of a personal computer. The
following steps describe this procedure.
1. Locate the small, keyed, four–pin end of the upgrade cable provided by Evertz.
2. Connect it to the four-pin interface (J1) near the front of the 7700PTX, directly above the card
unlock latch.

Revision 1.6 7700PTX-STP - 5
3. Connect the other end of the upgrade cable to a straight-through serial cable. Connect the
serial cable to the serial or COM port of the computer.
4. Initiate HyperTerminal on your computer by selecting:
“Start\Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal”.
5. Enter a name for your connection, for example: PTX.
6. Press the <Enter> key. A new “Connect To” window will appear.
Figure 4-2: ‘Connect To’ Window
7. In the “Connect using” region, select COM1 from the drop down menu. If COM1 is in use,
select an alternate COM port.
8. Press the <Enter> key or select OK. This opens the “COM Properties” window as shown in
Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3: COM1 Properties

7700PTX-STP Serial Tally Protocol Translator
7700PTX-STP - 6 Revision 1.6
9. Enter the information for the COM1 Properties settings as listed in Figure 4-3.
10. Press the <Enter> key or select OK. The “COM Properties” window closes, leaving the
HyperTerminal window open.
11. Apply power if the 7700PTX-STP does not have power. The boot sequence and Main Menu are
displayed in the HyperTerminal window.
12. If the 7700PTX-STP has power, press the <Enter> key to view the 7700PTX-STP’s menu
system.
13. Various 7700PTX-STP parameters are configurable via the 7700PTX-STP’s menu system, the
root of which is called Main Menu.
