Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 325)

Using iTX with a matrix router
Installig the Evertz 7700 Router Server
To enable iTX to operate an Evertz 7700 router, you install the Evertz7700 Router Service
component (from the Routers module). The Evertz 7700 Router Server in this component can
control one Evertz 7700 router. We recommend you install the component on the Database
Server machine.
Install the Evertz7700 Router Server
1. Double-click Setup.exe in the installation folder, iTX Suite, to start the installer.
The installer displays the iTX Installer dialog.
2. Click Select Software to open the Select Software to Install dialog.
3. Expand the Routing category and then the Routers sub-category.
Select the Evertz7700 Router Service component; select the Server Base if you are
installing the component on a machine that does not already have a Server Controller
installed. Ensure the other components in the Routers module are not selected.
Click OK to close the Select Software to Install dialog.
4. The iTX Installer dialog shows the components that you selected.
5. Click Continue.
The installer performs the installation.
6. Click Finish to close the iTX Installer dialog.
Running the Evertz7700 Router Server
The Server Controller on the same machine automatically starts the Evertz 7700 Router Server.
When the router-control service starts for the first time, it registers the details of the router in
the System Database.
Configuring an iTX system after the installation of an Evertz 7700 Router
Server
You need to configure the router-control service to work with the Evertz 7700 router. To do
this, you add the Evertz 7700 Router configuration panel to a layout. In the panel, you enter
network-connection details of the Evertz 7700 router that the service is to control.
Add the Evertz 7700 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, Evertz
7700 and drag it to a clear area of the layout.
The Evertz 7700 Router configuration panel appears on the layout.
