User’s Guide

When you click ‘Slave - Expanded‘, additional fields appear in the ‘Expansion Configuration’
section:

Fig. 6-8: Expansion Section (Sample, NV8288-Plus, Slave)

In the case of an NV8288-Plus having 2 frames for a 576 × 576 switching matrix, the ranges
for the frames are

Frame

Index

Input Range

Output Range

Main 1

1–576

1–288

Slave 2

1–576

289–576

Other routers require different values in the ‘Expansion Configuration’ section. See

Router

Expansion

on page 129.

5 Enter a number in the ‘Index’ field provided in the ‘Expansion’ section. The frames in the

expanded router must have unique indexes. It is a good idea to specify 1 for the main frame.

6 Enter the range of inputs and outputs for the frame.

7 Click Write All to send changes to the control card.

The ‘Level’, ‘Physical Inputs’, ‘Controller Inputs’, ‘Physical Outputs’ and ‘Controller Output’
fields are greyed-out. All partition information is copied from the master router to the slave
router.

In addition, all crosspoint information is copied to each slave router to ensure synchroniza-
tion of all connected frames.

You can access crosspoint information in the ‘Connections’ window. (See

Connections Win-

dow

on page 69.)

8 Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the other control card on the slave frame and for control cards

on other slave frames if there are any.

Updating Partitions

You can update partition data at any time.

If you are updating an expanded router, it is necessary to make changes only to the master
frame. Those changes propagate to the slave frames automatically.

Important: If you make changes to the primary control card of a frame, copy the changes to the
secondary control card (if there is one). See

How to Apply a Configuration to Another Control

Card
