Encore and Broadlinx

The Broadlinx board is equipped with a plug-in, rechargeable lithium-
ion battery that is used to back up the Routing switcher status for
Encore-controlled systems. This battery is rated for approximately 500
power cycles. If there is a power failure and the battery fails to provide
power, the Broadlinx board will need to obtain the router status from
the Encore System Control Module (this data will be sent automati-
cally). For the location of this battery, see

Figure 168 on page 264

.

Internal XPT (Crosspoint) Control

The XPT (Crosspoint) must be set to “closed” to be controlled by Encore.

The Closed setting is used when the Trinix Crosspoint bus is controlled by
an internal Crosspoint controller (for example, an NR-33000 Sync/NIC/
OPM board). This setting is used when the Broadlinx board (NR-33000) is
in turn being controlled through a LAN connection to a control system such
as a Grass Valley Series 7000 Signal Management System or Encore.
