Configuring Routers
Miscellaneous Page
• Local Physical
If this section is enabled, enter the starting and ending numbers for the inputs and outputs
of the frame you are configuring. This is a sample for the NV8256-Plus:
(For the NV8576-Plus, this section is disabled.)
• Control Card Bus Type
When more than one control card is installed in a router, the control cards communicate
using an internal bus.
For certain routers, when the router frame is connected to another frame, communication
between the control cards on the two frames occurs through the 10Base2 connections on
the rear of the router frame. If that is the case for your router, this section will be enabled and
you can choose ‘10BASE2’: This is a sample for the NV8256-Plus:
In the ‘Index’ field, enter a number that serves as a frame “ID.” Each frame of a multi-frame
router must have a unique ID.
• Control Card Date Time
If the control card allows it, you can set the control card’s date and time values.
Check the ‘Use this computer’s date / time’ option if you want to use the date and time value
in your computer. When you click ‘Update Control Card’ — as you must do for any of your
settings to take effect — your computer’s values are sent to the control card. Thereafter the
check box becomes unchecked again.
• Configure Tally Status
You can specify whether the control card reports “effective status” or real status. Place a
check in the ‘Report Effective Status’ check box if panels are to report effective status.
Clear the ‘Report Effective Status’ check box if you want panels to report actual status.
“Effective status” applies to standard input cards (only). Audio sources from standard input
cards are tallied as if they were from a disembedding input card.
“Actual status” applies to disembedder cards or MADI input cards. Here, audio tally consists
of actual audio sources.
Effective Status is enabled by default.
Ethernet Protocol Settings
The ‘Ethernet Protocol Settings’ section has one section and that section is enabled if you are
configuring an NV8500 router that supports Sony’s ROT-16 protocol.
You must (1) check the ‘ROT-16 Protocol’ check box and (2) specify two parameters for the
protocol if you wish to use the protocol.
