NV5128 router
Paragon switch
Audio/video input devices, such as speakers and DVI monitors
User stations with a keyboard, mouse and monitor attached
Important: The audio/video routing function is only applicable to a
"one-tier" system with up to 16 user ports and 128 channel ports,
comprising either a single Main Unit or a Main Unit and Stacking
Unit(s).
To enable this function, three basic steps are required.
STEP (A): Install Appropriate Audio/Video Equipment
STEP (B): Associate Router Ports with Paragon Ports in Paragon
Manager
STEP (C): Keep Paragon Manager Running and Connected
You perform STEP (A) only when the audio/video equipment is not
installed, but it is always necessary to perform STEP (B) and STEP (C)
each time when you want to activate the audio/video switching function.
STEP (A): Install Appropriate Audio/Video Equipment
If you haven't installed audio/video equipment properly, follow this
procedure to install them.
To install audio/video equipment properly in the
Paragon/NV5128 configuration
1. Connect appropriate audio/video equipment to the NV5128 router,
including:
Connection of audio/video output devices, such as audio/video
editing devices and servers, to the source ports (input
connectors) on the router.
Connection of audio/video input devices, such as speakers and
monitors, to the destination ports (output connectors) on the
router.
For more details, see the user documentation that accompanies the
NV5128 router.
2. Place the audio/video input devices near appropriate user stations.
Tip: Note down the router's destination port numbers for these
audio/video input devices and Paragon user port numbers for user
stations. The information is required later when setting up the router
association.
