So that control panel operators and UniConfig users can access and control monitor signals, you
must create a monitor level in UniConfig.
For the NV8280, NV8576, and NV8576-Plus, each output monitor backplane has two outputs.
The outputs must come from different output cards.
For the NV8280, NV8576, and NV8576-Plus, each input monitor backplane also has two outputs.
The outputs must come from different input cards.
The NV8144 has outputs for one output monitor and one input monitor. Therefore, the issue of
multiple cards is not present.
Mapping to the Monitor Level
A monitor level, in UniConfig, is a partition having a maximum of 4 outputs:
Port Description NV8144 Other NV8500 routers
1 Output monitor 1 Used Used
2 Output monitor 2 Not used Used
3 Input monitor 1 Used Used
4 Input monitor 2 Not used Used
The NV8144 uses only the first and third ports of the partition.
The following shows how, for each router, the associated monitor backplane connectors, map to
UniConfig Monitors on the Monitor Page, and to the ports on monitor Level:
How to Set Up a Monitor Level
1 Select a control card.
2 From the ‘Window’ menu, click ‘Configuration’. The ‘Configuration’ window appears.
3 Click Read All. The ‘Configuration’ window populates with the control card’s current configu-
ration data. If no prior configuration is stored, many of the fields are blank.
4 On a blank row, in the ‘Level’ column, enter a unique number between 1 and 240. (You will
also use this level number in the configuration of your router control system .)
