Figure 5: Front View of Selenio Frame (Shown with Local Control Panel)
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.
The Selenio Frame requires an ambient temperature of between 32 to 104F (0 and 40C), 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. It uses 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.

GPI In/Out
One GPI In/Out module provides two GPI inputs and two GPI outputs, configurable by the control
system software. The GPI outputs ware relay-controlled contact closures that are in turn controlled by
the active control module. GPI outputs are normally opened when the Selenio Frame is powered up and
one resource module is operational and active. GPI outputs are closed when the system is powered
down.

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 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.

Power Supplies
The SEL-FR3 supports a primary and a secondary 12V power supply for redundancy. During 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. SEL-FR3 power supplies are available in swappable AC
or DC versions; both versions share the same LED descriptions.

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.
2016 Imagine Communications Corp.
Selenio MCP3
Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 1
Installation, Operation, and Specifications
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.

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,

Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge- or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manufacturers 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.

Getting Started
System Requirements for Device Monitoring
The network and computer used to monitor and control a SEL-MCP3 frame must meet or exceed the
following hardware and software requirements:
A Selenio frame installed and connected to the LAN
A PC connected to a LAN with:
Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 operating system
Intel Pentium III 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent)
A minimum of 128MB of RAM
JavaScript enabled web browser; for best results use Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0
Silverlight version 5.0 (You can install the plug-in from the controller. See Installing the
Silverlight Plug-in (on page 40).)
Quicktime version 7.6.8
A standard crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a PC (the frame auto-detects
the cable type)
Accessing MIBs
MIB files for all modules can be downloaded directly from any SEL-MCP3 frame. MIBs are generated on
a per-device basis. For example, if there are three SEL-ENC2 modules in a frame, only one of the three
MIBs is required, assuming all of the modules are using the same version of software. If the frame
includes multiple modules of the same type, but different software versions, the module with the latest
version should be used to generate the MIB.
Selenio MCP3
Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 2
Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
If an older MIB is used with newer firmware (for example, an older version of firmware was used instead
of the latest firmware), the new parameters added to the new version will not be available on the MIB,
and thus, will not be accessible via the MIB.
Before downloading module MIBs, you must first download the InfrastructureNetwork.mib file. Copy
the following into a browser to access the InfrastructureNetwork.mib:
http://<IP address>/InfrastructureNetwork.mib
<IP address> is that of the primary controller in the frame
Once any MIB file is downloaded from the frame, you should rename it immediately to prevent
overwriting.
To download a specific module MIB file, copy this line into a browser:
http://<IP address>/mib/slot<slot#>/snmp.mib
<IP address> is that of the primary controller in the frame
<slot#> is the slot in the frame, as seen from the front
Examples:
http://137.237.173.15/mib/slot0/snmp.mib
Accesses the controller MIB from frame 137.237.173.15.
http://137.237.173.15/mib/slot2/snmp.mib
Accesses the MIB for slot 2 from frame 137.237.173.15
Default IP Address
The default IP address of a SEL-MCP3 frame is: 192.168.100.250.
Initial Configuration
Before you can connect to a SEL-MCP3 frame using a web browser, you must configure the IP address
of the frame. To configure the IP address using the SEL-MCP3 Control interface, follow these steps:
Note: You can also set the IP address on the frame itself if the frame has a front control panel.
1. Set Network on the PC to DHCP.
2. Connect one end of a crossover or straight-through cable to the Ethernet port on the front of the
SEL-MCP3 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.
3. Launch a browser and type anything in the address bar.
The SEL-MCP3 Control interface appears.
4. Select Configuration (the middle part of the banner in the figure below).

You can also manually configure the UTC day and time if a time server is not available.
The Service Degrade Delay parameter controls when the connection failover/failback occurs from the

connection fails over to the backup connection 10 secs after detecting a service degrade fault. This helps
avoid unnecessary automated connection failovers/failbacks.
DejaView

parameter settings are automatically loaded onto the replacement module. DejaView can be enabled or
disabled per slot.
By default, DejaView is Enabled for every slot. If you make extensive use of module redundancy within
your configuration and need to replace a card, if DejaView is enabled, the controller module provisions
that slot in the same way as the previous (failed) module. This helps restore services quickly, and allows
for replacement hardware to be installed without the help of engineering supervisors.
If you want a backup module to have its original configuration restored after performing a failback,
DejaView must be enabled on its slot.
Note: You can achieve similar functionality using Presets. See Using Presets (on page 120).
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

Under Module Type Setup, you can indicate which modules go in what slots. Module Save saves the
current detected setup (which device is in which slot). Module Clear deletes this configuration. When
inserting a new module that does not match the expected configuration, or when removing the module,
the Controller triggers a fault.

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.
The frames default IP address is 192.168.100.250.
Data Ethernet
The Data Ethernet settings described on this screen only affect frames where the controller module has
an optional video IP submodule.
The Data Ethernet jacks are used for sending compressed video streams to and from the modules in the
frame. The Primary external Data Ethernet jack connects to an Ethernet switch on the video IP submodule of the frame Controller module.
Advanced IP Settings
You will normally only change these on the advice of customer service.
Note: The controller module uses a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) to create a network domain that
all modules within the frame use for control and data traffic communication. A VLAN has the same
attributes as a physical network, including subnet and ID properties. The SEL-MCP3 frame has 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, these parameters should NOT be changed. If changes are required, consult a Imagine
Communications Customer Service representative. Failure to do so might result in improper control and
monitoring of SEL-MCP3 systems.

Configuring Redundancy
If you have both a primary controller module and a secondary controller module, the secondary
controller module automatically serves as backup to the primary module. You do not need to configure
anything for this to be so.
Your SEL-MCP3 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 within the same frame. When
configured, if a primary module fails, the controller module automatically reconfigures the backup
module to take over.
Some modules that are designated to be a similar type can serve as backup for each other. For example:
SEL-ENC1 and SEL-ENC2 in distribution mode
SEL-DEC1 and SEL-DEC2
SEL-MDX1 and SEL-MDX2
If a module is not sufficiently similar in type or configuration to back up another module, then the action
will not be allowed during the configuration process. For example, an ENC2 configured in contribution
mode cannot back up an ENC1.
When a module with an expansion module (for example, a SEL-XD1 with AAEX audio expansion module)
fails, both modules go offline. If the module configured to serve as backup for the main module also has
an expansion module, both the main module and the expansion module will fail over or back at the
same time. This happens automatically and does not require configuration.

Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
Note: For instructions on how to configure a module as a primary or backup module, see Configuring
Module Redundancy (on page 78). Redundancy for processing modules requires configuration of
external equipment such as routers and supporting wiring. These topics are described in Configuring the
Router (see "Configuring the Protection Router" on page 81) and Using the Connections Manager (see
"Connections Manager Overview" on page 89).
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., the module in slot 1 above) have a higher priority than those in redundant slots
(modules in slots 2 and 3 above). In the figure above, the services on module 1 have the highest priority,
and that module is not designated as backups for failover duty. The service on the module in slot 2 has
the lowest priority, so 2 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 the figure above with modules in slots 1 through 3).
Example 1
1. The module in Slot 1 fails.
The module in slot 2 serves as the backup, because slot 2 is the lowest priority backup available.
2. The module in Slot 3 fails.
No backups are available (slots 2 carries the content of slot 1, which are higher priority than slot 3).
Example 2
1. The module in Slot 3 fails.
The module in Slot 2 serves as the backup, because slot 2 is the lowest priority backup available.
2. The module in Slot 1 fails.
The module in Slot 2 drops the content for slot 3 (because slot 1 is higher priority than slot 3) and
serves as slot 1's backup.
3. The module in Slot 2 fails.
No backups are available. All slots have failed and are out of service.
Example 3
1. The module in Slot 1 fails.
The module in Slot 2 serves as the backup (because slot 2 is the lowest priority backup available).
2. The module in Slot 2 fails.
The module in Slot 3 serves as the backup to Slot 1 (because slot 3 is the lowest priority backup
available).
3. The module in Slot 3 fails.

Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
No backups are available. All slots have failed and are out of service.
After module 2 is serviced, you need to manually failback module 2 in order to indicate that the module
is now operational. Failure to do so will keep the module 2 marked as not available for protection
operations.
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. During a failover operation, the router redirects the
primary module's 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 parameter 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.
On failover, the connection table information is unchanged, however, internally, connections are rerouted from the primary module to the backup module such that the duties and obligations of the
primary module can be performed by the backup module. If a protection router is configured (see page
Configuring Module Redundancy (on page 78)), the controller will also re-configure the protection
router to route signals of the primary module to the backup module. If a failed primary module remains
out of service after a reset, the controller module will invoke the failover action again.
Note: DejaView must be enabled on the primary slot for the backup module to take on the settings of
the primary slot.
Selenio MCP3
Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 2
Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
Triggering Failback
SEL-MCP3 uses manual failback. Unlike the initial failover, which transfers control automatically, you
must explicitly restore service to the primary module.
When an operator issues a failback command (as in Returning to Full Functionality (on page 81)), the
updated 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.
Note: For a backup module to have its original configuration restored after performing a failback,
DejaView must be enabled on its slot.

Protecting-N(where N represents the module this module is assigned to
protect) The module is protecting the specified protected module due to a
fail over. Protecting modules are not visible in the Dashboard until the
protection ends.
ReadyThe module is protected and operating normally. It 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-RequiredThe module is operating normally but must be failed
back using the Failback button to restore it to Ready status. There are two
cases where a module becomes Failback-Required:
If this module is protecting another module and then is no longer
operating normally, and another module higher in the protection chain is
present, that will take over protecting the failed module. If this module
starts operating normally again, then it will be Failback-Required. To move
the protection back to this module, fail back the module.
If this module is manually failed over and the protecting module is no
longer operating normally or has to protect a higher priority module than
this module, then this module will be Failback-Required. To make this
module Ready, fail back the 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. This primary/secondary relationship is explained in Protection Chains and Priorities (on

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.
The Router Output Table dialog box for the selected router level opens. Outputs are numbered
based on setting of the Router Port Offset parameter.

The Input parameter updates to display the input selected for that output.
4. In the Input field, do either of the following:
Click Up or Down to change the input number
Enter a number between 1 and 512 using your keyboard
The inputs defined in the Router Output Table are used by the controller to switch the output router
connections feeding a failed module to the backup module as defined by the Connection Manager.
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. You can route any of the router physical inputs to the
output being configured.
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.
Note: Any reference router destinations will be controlled by the SEL-MCP3, and will not be controllable
by other clients until the connection is removed from the Connection Manager, and becomes not
reference anymore.
Input
An external router connection which an output from the Selenio frame can

Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
The inputs defined in the Protection Router are used by the controller to switch the output router
connections feeding a failed module to the backup module as defined by the Connection Manager.
Note: When a connection is Associated, the SEL-MCP3 will take over that destination, and make it
uncontrollable via other clients. To make it controllable again, the connection should be removed from
the Connection Manager.
Managing Connections
On the Configuration screen, select the Frame - Controller, and then click Connections to open the
Connections Manager.
Using the Connections Manager within the Controller module, you can indicate all the transfer points,
both external to the frame and within and between the modules in the frame. If this is done correctly,
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 to modules within the same frame. It may not be possible to route some
or all signals from one module to another within the frame using the internal bus, and may require
external cabling.
Connections are subject to the same delay as the outputs of the module. The connection manager is
limited to 1024 independent connections.
Connections are organized first by function, and then below that, by interface.
FunctionA capability of a module that provides a particular feature or group of features. A function
that has no inputs or outputs (interfaces) does not appear in the connection manager.
The controller module has two functions:

Test Signal GeneratorProvides test video feed and tone to other devices within the frame.
The test signal generator is always available in the Connections Manager.
Protection routerProvides external routing interfaces between the protection router and the
Connections Manager. The protection router must be configured before it appears in the
Connections Manager. See Launching the Router Interface (on page 81) for more information.
InterfaceEach function has at least one interface, which is used to connect functions. Interfaces are
divided into the following types:
CXNInternal connection over Data Ethernet (available only if the SEL-MCP3 controller module
has an optional video IP submodule)
Ext-IpExternal connection over Data Ethernet (available only if the SEL-MCP3 controller
module has an optional video IP submodule)
Ext-ModExternal module connectors on back panel
XpointEnd points on cross-point switch within the frame
You can have multiple interfaces for the same function. 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.
Use the Filter interface types menu to hide different types of interfaces. For example, you can filter
out the external connections (which are infrequently changed in most environments) to reduce the
list size.

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 (see
"Configuring the Protection Router" on page 81)) because these functions are on the SEL-MCP3
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.

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 alarm
only triggers when Reference mode is set to Primary or Secondary, and the matching external reference
is not present. The internal reference is used regardless of the reference mode selected if no external
reference is present.
The controller module will shut down any module if overheating occurs, and then issues a Module
Shutdown fault message. 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, reboot the failed slot (from the General > Reboot section of the Frame control panel). To prevent
overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all back module slots covered.

Using Presets
A preset is like a snapshot of a modules parameters. You can create a preset from one module, and
then load it onto another module of a similar 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 can be shared between modules designated to be similar types. Presets can be shared between
the following modules:
SEL-ENC1 and SEL-ENC2
SEL-DEC1 and SEL-DEC2
SEL-MDX1 and SEL-MDX2
If a preset was made for a module that is not sufficiently similar to the selected module, then that preset
will not be available to that module.
Presets are saved on the SEL-MCP3 controller module, and can be backed up to a computer, USB key,
etc.
Note: When a module is in Failsafe mode, you cannot load presets to the module. The Module Presets
option does not appear for any module in Failsafe mode.
Presets can be created for the following parts of a SEL-MCP3 system:
Device presetContains the parameters for the selected node. The device can be any module within
the frame, including the controller module.

System presetContains 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
The controller has 20 memory locations for system presets and 100 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 (for example, you cannot recall an XD1 preset
to an FS1 module).
Viewing Presets
1. In the SEL-MCP3 control application, select the Configuration tab.
Presets appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.

The selected preset is loaded to the selected module or the entire frame. During this process, an
indicator appears near the top of the screen. This indicator appears for all PCs that are connected to the
frame. The module or frame to which the preset is being loaded is in locked mode until preset loading is
complete so no parameter changes can be made.
Figure 67: Indicator that a Preset is Being Loaded in the Upper Right Near the Frame's Name
It is not possible to load a preset to a device for which it does not apply. The Preset list for a module only
shows presets that are compatible with the selected device. A system preset can only load parameters
to compatible devices.
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 presets on other
applicable devices.
Be careful when loading presets to ensure that the firmware is consistent between like devices. If
parameters are not available or have settings that are inconsistent with the firmware on a device, those
settings will remain unchanged.

Renaming a Preset
1. In the SEL-MCP3 control application, select the Configuration tab.
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 presets 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.
1. In the SEL-MCP3 control application, select the Configuration tab.
2. Click on a preset in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
Presets can be deleted in the Device Presets, System Presets, or All Presets lists.
3. Select Edit > Delete.
4. In the Delete Preset dialog box, click OK.
The presets 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.
Overwriting a Preset
To overwrite a preset, follow these steps:
1. In the SEL-MCP3 control application, select the Configuration tab.
2. Click on a preset in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
3. Select Edit > Overwrite.
Selenio MCP3
Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 3
Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
The Preset Name field indicates the preset that will be overwritten. A preset cannot be renamed
from this dialog box.
4. Click OK.
Exporting a Preset
All presets are stored on the controller module for the SEL-MCP3 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.
When you export a preset, you save it to the computer on which you are viewing the SEL-MCP3. To
transfer a preset to a different SEL-MCP3 frame (without physically moving a module from frame to
frame), you must first export it by following these steps:
1. In the SEL-MCP3 control application, select the Configuration tab.
2. Click on a preset in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
Presets can be exported in the Device Presets, System Presets, or All Presets lists.
3. Select Edit > Export.
The Export Preset dialog opens.
4. Select a location for the preset to be stored in, and then click OK.

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.
Protecting a Preset
A preset that is protected cannot be deleted or overwritten. To protect a preset, follow these steps:
1. Select the preset.
2. Click Edit > Protect.
A Protect Preset dialog box opens.
3. Click OK.
The dialog box closes and the preset's name is prefixed with a # sign.
To unprotect a preset (so you can delete it or rename it, etc.) follow these steps:
1. Select the preset.
2. Click Edit > Unprotect.
A Protect Preset dialog box opens.
3. Click OK.
The dialog box closes and the # symbol is removed from the start of the preset's name.
