Step 3 – Adding Logical Routers
It is also useful to have manual control over the source/destination mapping in the
event a router card is removed.
KX Router also has a Logical router matrix ID, which can be used by an external router
control device or application to control the internal router modules.
Configuring the Internal Router in a Kaleido-X (14RU)
Once two Kaleido-X (7RU) systems are in a Kaleido-X (14RU) expansion configuration,
thereby giving you access to any source from either frame in your layouts, their respective
router cards are not automatically shared between the system’s Frame A and Frame B. To be
able to choose a source from one frame and send it to a router output on the other frame,
you must have connected the router cards of one frame to those of the other using special
Note:
The file must be formatted as three columns with no heading row.
Column 1 should contain numbers from 1 to N (the number of sources),
column 2 should contain the source labels, and column 3 should contain the
destination labels. Columns are delimited by commas, without spaces.
Sample label file:
1,VTR 1,OUT 1
2,VTR 2,OUT 2
3,CAM 1,OUT 3
4,CAM 2,OUT 4
5,SAT 1,PGM
6,SAT 2,PVW
Note:
The Get labels from physical level feature is not yet supported for
internal router cards.
Note:
In the case of a Kaleido-X (7RU), signals entering the input cards are
made available to the internal router cards via the midplane (i.e. there is no
cabling between the BNC outputs on the router cards and the BNC inputs on
the KXI cards).
