SYSFILES FOLDER
The SysFiles folder holds the remaining con-
sole configuration and initialization files. It also
has a number of files automatically maintained
by the BMX
digital server. These include route per-
sistence files (PF_xx.bin) that allow audio routes
to be automatically reestablished if power is lost
to the console.
The following descriptions cover user files in the
SysFiles folder:
SERVERID.TXT
This text file lists the ID number of the KSU
card’s Single Board Computer (SBC). It consists
of a single line of text:
Server ID is 123-456-789
.
The number (e.g., 123-456-789) is the Server
ID for that particular SBC. This number can be
given to a Harris tech support representative in
order to receive a License Code (entered into
VMCC) to unlock optional extended features on a
specific console.
INVENTORY.TXT
This text file lists the modules plugged into the
console and how many DSP cards are in the frame.
This information is updated whenever the con-
sole is restarted or a module is removed or
changed. The inventory is also saved in the Map-
ping section of each session file.
Modules are listed by hex numbers. The num-
bers are the hex equivalent of session file channel
ID numbers.
ROUTERS.INI
This file, also maintained using VMCC, sets
which sources and destinations are available for
routing on a console. There are three sections to
the file: router definitions; source include list; des-
tination include list, as shown below:
[Routers]
; Router types supported: VistaMax
Type_1=VistaMax
;
[SrcInclude]
Include_1_1=D3.225-231
Include_1_2=D11.173-233,257-291
;
[DstInclude]
Include_1_1=D11.129-159,209-215
Headers (
[Routers]
,
[SrcInclude]
,
[DstInclude]
) define the sections.
[Routers]
sets whether a VistaMax or another type of router
is networked with the console.
[SrcInclude]
(Source Include) lists all of the input signals that
could be shown on the router or telco modules’
source selectors. In the example above, only sig-
nals 225-231 on device 3 and signals 173-233
and 257-291 on device 11 would be shown in the
source selectors.
DstInclude
(Destination Include) lists the
destinations that are available to Edge Devices
served by the console. In the example, the only
destinations that would be shown on a VM-SDS
(source/destination selector) would be those on
device 11, destinations 129-159 and 209-215.
Each include statement line lists sources from a
single VistaMax device. However, when there are
a lot of sources from one device, there could be
multiple
Include_x=
statement lines for that
one device.
EDGEDEVICE.INI
This file, maintained using VMCC, configures
edge devices (console or rack-mount source or
source/destination selector panels) that receive
their information from the BMX
digital Server. An
edgedevice.ini
file example, for a single VM-
SSD selector panel, is shown on the next page.
