6 Make permanent or temporary diagnostic connections. Diagnostic connections enable the
router and UniConfig to communicate. This is important when initially configuring the router
and any time the router is reconfigured. See
Making Diagnostic Connections on page 41.
7 Make connections to signals acting as references for video signals. If reconfiguring, verify that
all necessary reference connections are made for the signals being routed. See Making Video
Reference Connections on page 43.
8 Make connections to monitoring equipment so that outgoing signals can be monitored for qual-
ity and consistency. See Making Monitor Connections on page 44.
9 Connect the alarm connection on the router to an external indicator. If reconfiguring, skip this
step if alarm connections are still adequate. See Making Alarm Connections on page 47.
10 Install UniConfig. If you are reconfiguring, you do not have to reinstall UniConfig. Please refer
to the UniConfig User’s Guide.

contents. If the contents are damaged, notify the carrier immediately.
As the shipping container is unpacked, look for the packing slip and compare it against the contents
to verify that everything ordered was received. If anything is missing (or if you find equipment
damage unrelated to shipping), please contact Miranda. For Technical Support contact information,
