‘Find Routers’ Page

The ‘Find Routers’ page is available in the ‘Tasks’ pane. It is not an essential tool, but can be a
convenience if you want to view a list of accessible routers.

You can think of this page as NV9000-SE Utilities’ “ping” for routers.

This is the page:

There are 3 parts to the page:

‘Find Routers’ button

Router list

Partition list

Click the ‘Find Router’ button to generate a list of routers (actually router control cards) that are
detectable by your PC.

The router list, in the ‘Routers’ section, has 3 columns:

Type. Each router control card has, within its non-volatile storage, a router type ID. This field
shows the router’s type ID.

IP address. This is the IP address of the router’s control card. (Most NVISION series routers
have two control cards.)

Description. This is a brief description of the router.

If you click a row in the router list, the page will list data for one of the router’s partitions. None of
the fields in the page are editable. The page is a report only.

Virtual Crosspoints

Virtual crosspoints are a concept developed at NVISION (now Grass Valley) that allows re-entry
without consuming any physical ports (either input or output).
