How to Monitor NV8144 Switching
• To monitor one of the router’s inputs, switch any of the ‘Controller Inputs’ to the ‘Controller
Output 1’.
The router knows that a router’s input is to be monitored because the input is being switched to
‘Controller Output 1’, which is associated with the router’s monitor card ‘OUT 1’ connector.
Example: Using the example partition in Figure 13-3 on page 134, a ‘take’ command is sent to
the router using Level 1, Source 5 and Destination 1. This switches the router’s physical Output
5 to the router’s monitor card ‘OUT 2’ connector.
• To monitor one of the router’s outputs, switch any of the ‘Controller Inputs’ to the ‘Controller
Output 3’.
The router knows that a router’s output is to be monitored because the output is being switched
to ‘Controller Output 3’, which is associated with the router’s monitor card ‘OUT 2’ connector.
Example: Using the example partition table in Figure 13-3 on page 134, a ‘take’ command is
sent to the router using Level 1, Source 5 and Destination 3. This switches the router’s physical
Output 5 to the router’s monitor card ‘OUT 1’ connector.
How to Monitor NV8280 or NV8576 Switching
Unlike the NV8144, the NV8280 and NV8576 router frames have separate monitor cards for inputs
and outputs. For details, see
Overview on page 127.
• To monitor one of the router’s inputs, switch any of the ‘Controller Inputs’ to the ‘Controller
Output 3’ or 4.
The router knows that a router’s input is to be monitored because the input is being switched to
‘Controller Output 3’ or ‘Controller Output 4’ which is associated with the router’s Input moni-
tor card ‘OUT 1’ or ‘OUT 2’ connector, respectively.
Example: Using the example partition table in Figure 13-3 on page 134, a ‘take’ command is
sent to the router using Level 1, Source 5 and Destination 3. This switches the router’s physical
Input 5 to the router’s Input monitor card ‘OUT 1’ connector.
• To monitor one of the router’s Outputs, switch any of the’ Controller Inputs’ to the ‘Controller
Output 1’ or ‘Controller Output 2’.
The router knows that a router’s output is to be monitored because the output is being switched
to ‘Controller Output 1’ or ‘Controller Output 2’, which is associated with the router’s Output
monitor card ‘OUT 1’ or ‘OUT 2’ connector, respectively.
Example: Using the example partition table in Figure 13-3 on page 134, a ‘take’ command is
sent to the router using Level 1, Source 5 and Destination 1. This switches the router’s physical
Output 5 to the router’s Output monitor card ‘OUT 1’ connector.
Note The NV8144 differs from the NV8280 and NV8576 because it uses only one Monitor card.
