Introduction
A router protocol is the way the system controller communicates with a router under its control.
The protocol includes a command “language” (a set of commands that follow rules of syntax)
and hand-shaking methods.
NVISION are designed to operate under an NV9000 router control system, using ‘NV Ethernet’
protocol (or NVEP). NVISION routers can also use ‘NV Serial’ protocol (or NVSP).
NVISION series routers can also communicate according to certain third-party protocols and be
used in third-party systems. Third-party protocols for routers are licensed software components
that can be purchased and added to the control card of your NVISION router. Usually the router
is shipped with the purchased third-party protocol already installed.
It is in the router configuration pages (and tables) that router protocols are selected. These
pages are:
•
, (page 40) through the ‘Configuration’ pane or the ‘Tasks’ pane.
•
, (page 51) through the ‘Views’ pane.
These configuration pages are already discussed. Following is a list of the supported router
protocols.
