NV3128 RS-422A Machine-Control Routing Switch 2-6
2.2 CONFIGURATION
2.2.1 THE UNIVERSAL CONTROL OR COMMAND INTERPRETER
The Universal Control Card (EM0134-XX) constitutes the current
control module for the NV3128 Router. It includes a Test/Normal
jumper near the front of the card that should always be set to Normal
mode. In addition there are two AES Ref jumpers that are not used in
the NV3128.
Partitioning, port configuration, and diagnostic interface settings are
done using the UniDiag PC software program. See the UniDiag Manual
for instructions.
The Command Interpreter and the Matrix Control II are obsolete
control cards for the NV3128 Router. Some instructions in this section
apply only to older systems having these cards. These instructions have
been retained for the benefit of customers who own older systems, but
they are labeled "(OBSOLETE)" so that they are clearly identifiable.
2.2.2 PARTITIONING (OBSOLETE)
In systems using the newer Universal Control Card, partitioning is done
with UniDiag. Older systems with the Command Interpreter are
partitioned using the steps that follow.
The NV3128 consists of a single physical partition whose I/O
dimension is the dimension of the routing switch, either 128x128 or
64x64. A shadow partition can be created to allow multidrop command
hookups. By enabling the second ghost partition, I/O ports are
addressed on either of two controller levels. A port addressed on the
first level is configured for point-to-point routes. The same port
addressed on the second controller level is configured for multidrop
routes. Section 3.1 discusses the distinctions between the two types
of Take.
