Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 327)

Using iTX with a matrix router
Perform test routes
On the Routing Configuration pop-up layout, use the Routing Configuration Tool to make test
routes. More details , page 333.
Installing the Quartz Router Service
To enable iTX to operate an Evertz (Quartz) EQX router, you install the Quartz Router Service
component (from the Routers module). The Quartz Router Service in this component can
control one EQX router. We recommend you install the component on the Database Server
machine.
Install the Quartz Router Service
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 Quartz 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 Quartz Router Service
The Server Controller on the same machine automatically starts the Quartz Router Service.
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 a Quartz Router
Service
You need to configure the router-control service to work with the Evertz (Quartz) EQX router.
To do this, you add the Quartz Router configuration panel to a layout. In the panel, you enter
network-connection details of the EQX router that the service is to control.
Add the Quartz 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.
