User’s Guide
The page for the NV5128 lacks an expansion settings region but has a button with which to
select either partitions 1–4 or partitions 5–8:
All other routers can have up to 4 partitions (under NV9000 control).
 Routers under SMS7000 control can have up to 2 partitions only.
Partition Table
Each row in the table represents either a real crosspoint partition or an artificial partition. (See
Artificial Partition Types on page 30.)
The values in the partition table must be matched by the physical level definitions in the router
control system you are using. Exactly what is meant by a “match” depends on the router control
system.
Following are descriptions of the table’s columns:
• Level
A number that uniquely identifies a partition. The range of acceptable values is 0–250. A
value of 0 is used in some third-party control systems.
You must not create duplicate entries in this column.
• Physical Input Start and Physical Input End
Router port numbers that define the start and end of an input partition. The range of accept-
able values is from 1 to the upper limit of the router.
• Controller Input Start and Controller input End
Logical input port numbers — also to be defined in the router control system — that map to
the start and end of router’s physical input port numbers. You can specify the “start” value.
UniConfig derives the “end” value according to the signal type of the partition.
 You might note that for mono audio partitions (e.g., for the NV7512 router), the
controller partition range is double the physical partition range.
The value in the “start” field is typically either 0 or 1 — 0 for some third-party control systems.
• Physical Output Start and Physical Output End
Router port numbers that define the start and end of an output partition. The range of
acceptable values is from 1 to the upper limit of the router.
• Controller Output Start and Controller Output End
Logical output port numbers — defined in the router control system — that map to the start
and end of router’s physical output port numbers. You can specify the “start” value. UniCon-
fig derives the “end” value according to the signal type of the partition.
 You might observe that for mono audio partitions (e.g., for the NV7512 router), the
controller partition range is double the physical partition range.
The value in the “start” field is typically either 0 or 1 — 0 for some third-party control systems.
• Signal Type
This field contains a drop-down menu in which you specify the partition type. UniConfig
provides a list of only the signal types applicable to the router.
