Section 5 — Router Configuration
Note If a Concerto frame contains a mixed-format board set, a different Crosspoint
Group must be defined for each format. The same controller is used for all,
but there are controller attributes that relate a specific Crosspoint Group to
specific boards in the Concerto frame.
Crosspoint Groups also support interlevel routing for Sources and Destina-
tions within the same Crosspoint Group. The two Levels may either share
the same Matrix Segment (if declared as shareable) or may be different Seg-
ments within the same Crosspoint Group. In the second case, all additional
interlevel crosspoints must physically exist (are populated) in the Cros-
spoint Group.
Crosspoint Group Parameters
A Crosspoint Group is configured by defining the X-Y size and then parti-
tioning the group into one or more Segments. Note that each segment is
fully configured with all crosspoints whereas a Crosspoint Group may only
be partially so. The number of controllers used to control the Crosspoint
Group and the number of outputs controlled by each must also be speci-
fied.
The parameters for a Crosspoint Group are:
• Name. Must be unique for all Crosspoint Groups within a Router Con-
troller.
• Maximum input connector. All inputs range from 1 to this maximum.
• Maximum output connector. All outputs range from 1 to this max-
imum.
• Number of Matrix Controllers (default is 1).
• Number of segments (default is 1).
(Matrix) Controller Parameters
Each Matrix Controller has the following parameters:
• I/O channel index (the channel parameters such as baud rate belong to
the channel's configuration).
• Matrix Controller address (range 0 to 255).
• Outputs within the Matrix Controller (Range starts from the sum of
outputs for previous Matrix Contr 1 and must not exceed the
maximum for the Crosspoint Group). If only a single Matrix Controller,
this is not configurable and is set to the output size of the Crosspoint
Group.
