Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 333)

Using iTX with a matrix router
The Routing Configuration Tool displays the information stored in the System Database
for the selected crosspoint.
• Check the crosspoint name in the Name box.
• Check the address in the Address box. This is the router address that defines the
crosspoint. This number must be unique for each crosspoint.
• Enter any comment you want to in the Description box. The comment appears in tool
tips that give information about the crosspoint.
• Enter an alias in the UMD Alias box.
• Click Save.
Use the Routing Configuration Tool to perform test routes
1. Select a router in the Router box.
2. In the Test Crosspoint panel, do the following for each test route you want to make.
• Select a source in the Src box.
• In the Dst box, select a destination that is on the same router as the selected source.
• Select levels in the levels list.
3. Click Route. Check that the routing happens.
Viewing details of a router event in the Log Monitor
In the Log Monitor, a grey entry indicates a request to the router-control service to make a
route; a black entry indicates the response from the service.
Double-clicking an entry causes iTX to display a dialog containing full details of a routing event.
The destination status list displays routed levels to selected destinations.
Filtering by groups in routing configuration
It is possible to create categories for router sources and destinations via the Routing Data
Service and then use those categories to filter by in routing desktop components on the iTX
Desktop. This means the user does not have to scroll through the entire list of sources or
destinations, but can select a category to make the selection process easier.
