Encore Control
The Trinix router was designed so it can be controlled by a variety of control
systems. Trinix can be controlled using a direct Ethernet (“CPL”) integra-
tion with the Grass Valley Encore or SMS 7000 control system.
The system is operated in the Internal Crosspoint Bus Control mode,
during which the Broadlinx board sends commands to the Crosspoint bus.
The Broadlinx option, which consists of Broadlinx software running on the
NR-33000 Sync/NIC/OPM board, allows Trinix to be controlled by SMS
7000 or Encore. This control uses Grass Valley CPL (Control Point Lan-
guage) through an Ethernet connection.
Refer to the SMS 7000 or Encore documentation for specific information
about either control system. LAN components are described in
Figure 265
on page 376 .
Encore Control of Trinix
When the Trinix routing switcher is under Encore control, a LAN connec-
tion will be used. The
Figure 265 on page 376 shows the recommended con-
nections when the system is equipped with redundant NR-33000 boards
and redundant Encore controllers. The PC is being used to configure the
Encore Control panel and is also available for Broadlinx or SNMP moni-
toring.
