4. OPERATION
4.1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The EQT router is a matrix router that provides a simple, cost-effective solution for small router
applications. The EQT-1616-3G-C consists of 16 equalized inputs and 16 reclocked outputs. Each input
and each output are interfaced through a common crosspoint that is controlled by the main processing
unit.
The processing unit interfaces the various control options such as Ethernet and serial with the crosspoint,
allowing full control of the routing resources. The processing unit also provides a video reference to the
crosspoint to maintain clean switching on the switch line.
The major components of the EQT router are shown below in Figure 4-1.
