A. Protocols
Protocols are applications that run on the router control cards. The NV9000 server supports several
protocols for both Miranda and third-party router. For information on adding and updating proto-
cols, see
Updating Router Protocol on page 84.
Available Protocols
The following is a list of currently available protocols. This list is subject to change without notice.
If you have any questions regarding the use or availability of protocols, contact Miranda technical
support.
Protocol Description Cable
NV Serial
Protocol, Private Supports communication with Miranda routers using
“Universal Series” control cards over an RS-422 serial
connection.
Use this protocol with newer Miranda routers under serial
control.
RS-422, wired straight
through. Port
configuration is in the
router table.
NV Serial
Protocol, Public Supports communication with other vendors’ routing
products that have implemented the Miranda protocol in their
controllers. This protocol also supports Miranda routers that
use older model control cards such as the EM0035 or
EM0127 controllers. The connection is RS-422.
Use this protocol with very old Miranda router models
(3xxx).
RS-422, wired straight
through
NV Ethernet
Protocol Use this protocol with all current generation Miranda routers.
It provides Ethernet connectivity between the NV9000 server
and router control cards at 100MB/s. This is the preferred
method of connecting current Miranda routers to the NV9000
server.
CAT5E patch cord. Do
not use a crossover
cable.
NV Master
Control Ethernet
Protocol
Supports connection to the Miranda NV5128-MC Master
Control System. Use this protocol when Master Control status
is required to drive the NV9550 tally interface. This
connection is 100MB/s Ethernet.
CAT5E patch cord. Do
not use a crossover
cable.
NV Compact
Router Ethernet
Protocol Use this protocol with all Miranda Compact Routers, such as
the CR1616-HD and CR3232-AES. It provides Ethernet
connectivity between the NV9000 server and compact routers
at 100MB/s.
CAT5E patch cord. Do
not use a crossover
cable.
Virtual Router
Protocol Use this protocol to emulate a router using Miranda protocol,
for testing or development work. Status is lost every time the
NV9000 is restarted. The protocol is useful for developing a
configuration without an actual router.
(not applicable)
Utah RCP-1
Protocol Enables the NV9000 to switch most models of Utah routers.
Contact Miranda for specifics on supported routers. A
properly configured Utah AVS2, SC1, SC2 or PL320
controller is required. The NV9000 does not connect directly
to a Utah matrix.
Dependent on the Utah
controller model.
