Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 321)

Using iTX with a matrix router
Configuring an iTX system after the installation of a GVG Acappella
Router Server
You need to configure the router-control service to work with the GVG Acappella router. For
this, you use the Acappella Router configuration panel.
You may need to add the panel to an iTX Desktop layout. You can do this while the layout is in
the editing mode. The panel is in the Routing, Basic category of the iTX Desktop Toolbox.
In configuring the router-control service, you enter network-connection details of the GVG
Acappella router that the service is to control.
These configuration instructions cover a single-level GVG Acappella router. If you have
problems when configuring a multiple-level router, contact iTX Support.
Add the Acappella Router configuration panel to a layout
1. Right-click the title bar or a clear area of the layout to display the iTX Desktop menu. Select
Edit to put the layout in the editing mode.
2. In the Toolbox, expand the categories ROUTING and BASIC. Select Configuration, GVG
Acappella and drag it to a clear area of the layout.
The Acappella Router configuration panel appears on the layout.
3. If you want to save the layout with the configuration panel on it, right-click the title bar (or
a clear area of the layout) to display the iTX Desktop menu; select Save Layout.
4. Return the layout to the normal operating mode.
Enter network-connection details
1. In the Router box on the configuration panel, select the GVG Acappella Router Server.
2. Do the following to set the router connection details.
• Enter the IP address of the router in the IP Address box.
• Enter the port number in the Port box: this must be 12345.
• In the Check for Router box, enter how often the GVG Acappella Router Server should
check its connection to the router.
Note: Do not include leading zeroes in the IP address. For example, enter 1.51.51.151, not
001.051.051.151.
3. To modify the types of log messages the service generates, do the following.
• Select the log message types (for example, Log Errors) you want the service to generate.
• Ensure log message types (for example, Log Warnings) you do not want the service to
generate are not selected.
4. Click Update.
