To Configure the SDPE for Acuity®

To configure the SDPE blade for Acuity® you must use the Carbonite DashBoard menus.

Important: The router must have an Acuity CPU installed to operate as an Acuity®.

Important: Ultrix Acuity v11.1 and earlier only supports SDPE blades in slots 1, 3, 5, and 7 in the Ultrix™ 5RU frame. Ultrix Acuity does not support the Ultrix™ 2RU frame

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > System > Global.
Click Ultrix Acuity.

Important: This process cannot be undone from Carbonite. If you convert an SDPE blade to Acuity® you must connect to the Acuity® switcher to convert it back to Carbonite.
Click OK to confirm the conversion.

The SDPE blade reboots as part of the Acuity® switcher. You may have to reboot the system for the new blade configuration to be recognised.
