If a backup connection is desired, it can be selected at this point as well. The same two options
are available: Automatic redundancy, where the 9220 will switch by itself after a configurable
timeout, and Manual redundancy, where the operator is responsible for switching. If Automatic
redundancy is selected, a field to configure the switch time becomes available. Valid values are
from 2 to 45 seconds. This is illustrated below.
If you select Automatic or Manual for the Backup Connection, a second set of Source
Port/Source Stream drop-down menus are displayed, to select the backup source. These operate
in exactly the same fashion as the primary source selections. The complete interface is shown
below.

Destination Selection
The Destination Selection operates in the same fashion as the Source Selection. It is again a two-
step process, where a port is selected, and then a stream on that port is selected. Note that only
one connection can be made to any given output; therefore, the 9220 will only offer unconnected
outputs in the Destination Selection. If you wish to modify an existing route, either delete and
recreate it, or edit it. This process is explained later in this section.
The Destination Port Selection is depicted below. The options are as follows:
•
IP Output 1: UDP/IP Output streams transmitted on Ethernet Port 1.
•
IP Output 2: UDP/IP Output streams transmitted on Ethernet Port 2.
•
ASI Output: ASI ports configured as outputs
