The following lists each column and the information it presents:
If no mono audio partitions have not been set up, these fields are grayed-out. (See Setting Up
Partitions on page 51.)
6 Repeat steps 2–5 for each control card being viewed.
Testing Input/Output Switching ‘Takes’
Using the UniConfig ‘Connections’ window, current switching matrix can be tested. Testing is
accomplished by performing a series of ‘takes’. A ‘take’ is a specific moment in time when signals
are switched based on defined parameters. Both standard and mono switching configurations can
be tested.
For information on testing machine control signals for the NV5128 and the NV5256, see Managing
Machine Control Ports on page 101.
Standard Signals
The ‘X-Y/Standard’ tab displays for all routers except the NV5256. If no partitions have been set
up, this tab is inactive. (See
Managing Partitions and Signal Types on page 49.)
How to Test Standard Switching Configurations
1 Launch UniConfig. (See Launching UniConfig on page 9.)
2 Select a control card. (See Selecting a Control Card on page 10.)
3 From the menu bar, select ‘Window > Connections’. The ‘Connections’ window appears with
blank fields. (See Figure 10-6 on page 93.)

The ‘Connections’ window displays all crosspoints in a router as one large set whereas the
‘Configuration’ window displays each partition separately.
Column Description
Mono The number assigned to the signal for internal routing reference purposes. For example,
the left channel of stereo signal 1 (listed in the ‘Phys’ column) is assigned number 1 and
the right channel is assigned number 2.
Phys The physical signal being received or distributed. A stereo audio signal is comprised of
two channels: one left and one right.
Chnl The signal number assigned to the left channel or right channel of the physical signal.
LPR Indicates if the configuration has been locked/protected. Locks are set using the router
control system. To unlock, see Removing Locks on page 143.
Status Mono takes are reported as a breakaway in the ‘Status’ column on the tab.
Note Each control card must be tested separately.
