Summary
When setting up the NV8256-Plus for the first time, or reconfiguring an existing router configura-
tion, there are certain steps that must be performed. It is recommended that initial installation and
later reconfiguration tasks be performed in a specific order to avoid possible complications.
Perform installation and reconfiguration tasks in the following order:
1 Mount the router in a rack. If reconfiguring, skip this step if the router is already rack mounted
and not being remounted. See Rack Mount on page 27.
2 Connect power, being sure to install PS6000 modules after power is connected. See Making
Power Connections on page 28.
3 Install active cards in the appropriate front card slots. If reconfiguring, remove cards and rein-
stall in the newly desired slots. Make sure that the appropriate backplane is installed for each
active card. See
Installing Active Cards on page 32.
4 Make connections between the source of incoming signals and the destination of outgoing sig-
nals, and the router. If reconfiguring, change signal connections to match new backplane and
active card configuration. See
Making Signal Connections on page 35.
5 Make connections between the router and the router control system. If reconfiguring, skip this
step if all necessary router control system connections are still adequate. See Making Router
Control System Connections on page 37.
