User’s Guide
These are the two parameters that apply:
• ‘Primary Station IP Address’
This is the IP address of the (Sony ROT-16) server with which the router will communicate.
• Secondary Station ID
This is an ID for the router. The ID is used by the server.
Refer to the Sony ROT-16 literature for further information.
Configuring Serial Ports
If your router is connected a to third-party router control system that requires serial ports, you
must configure the router’s serial ports.
How to Configure Serial Ports
1 Go to the ‘Miscellaneous Settings’ page. From the Control Cards table at the bottom of the
page, select a control card.
2 In the ‘Control 1 and 2 Baud Rate Setting’ section, select a baud rate from the ‘Baud Rate’
drop-down list.
3 In the ‘Control 1 Settings’ and the ‘Control 2 Settings’ sections, set serial port parameters.
In the ‘Protocol’ field, select either NV SERIAL or another installed protocol from the drop-
down list. (The only protocol available for CTRL 2 is NV Serial.)
Enable or disable the port.
In the ‘Reply When’ field, select how the control card responds to queries and commands:
• Active only — the control card replies only when it is the active control card.
• Always — the control card replies even when it is not the active control card.
4 (Optional) In the ‘Rear Diagnostic Port Settings’ section, select a port type (RS-485 or RS-232)
and a Baud rate from the drop-down menus.
5 Click Update Control Card, at the bottom of the page, to write changes to the control card,
overwriting any previous settings:
6 Each control card in the router must be configured separately and identically.
Either repeat this procedure for each control card in the router . . .
Or, finish making all changes to the control card and then copy its configuration to the
remaining control card(s) in the router. See
Copy Settings Page on page 78.
Expansion Settings
Certain routers comprise more than one frame. The NV8256-Plus and the NV8576-Plus are
examples.
