4 Linking the NetWave
[SrcInclude]
Include_1_1=D40.65,95,257,259,261,263-287
Include_1_2=D40.M1-6
The above example lists sources and macros
on the card frame (device 40), with has one Net-
Wave console connected to Hub 0, facet 4. Since
this list might also include every source from
every device in the VistaMax system, a more
manageable list of sources, specific for each
channel, is derived from this all-inclusive
routers.ini
file list. This include list is saved
in the
edgedevice.ini
file, which is also
stored on the parent device.
The
edgedevice.ini
file has a separate
include list for each Dual Router channel that
limits the number of sources one has to search
through to find a useful source for each chan-
nel. This example was generated by the settings
in the illustration at the bottom of page 4-6:
Include_1_1_1=D40.71,73,87
Include_1_1_2=D40.M4-6
Include_2_1_1=D40.65-69,77,83,265,267,271
Since each Dual Router panel controls two
channels, there are two sets of include lists shown
above. The left channel has two entry lines
(
Include_1_1_1
and
Include_1_1_2
)
which separately list sources and macros. The
right channel on the Dual Router panel uses the
I n c l u d e _ 2 _ 1 _ 1
entry line to define the
sources available to that channel.
The
routers.ini
and
edgedevice.ini
entries are automatically generated by VMCC,
during provisioning, following the signals and
macros that were included on the parent device’s
main pane and set in the Sources and Macros
include pane for each Dual Router channel.
SECTION HEADERS
Macro files consist of sections, which are de-
fined by a section header followed by one or
more entry lines. The section header defines an
action while the entry lines define what occurs.
The most common macro section header used
on a NetWave is
[RouterCommand_1]
. Here
is an example of its use:
[RouterCommand_1]
take_1=D40.71,D40.265
take_2=D40.315,D40.93
The Router Command section defines routes.
There can be only one Router Command sec-
tion in a macro, but it can define up to 64 routes,
from
take_1
to
take_64
, in numeric order.
For info on using other macro section head-
ers, refer to the VistaMax or Envoy manual.
MACRO FILE ENTRY LINES
In the Router Command section, each route
is defined by an entry line. Each entry line
(take_x=source,destination)
must be
listed in numeric order and must be on a sepa-
rate line. The sources and destination signals
are identified by device number, a period and
their local signal number (e.g., D40.71).
Comments can be added to macro entry lines
to clarify what the entry line is for and help
others understand the purpose of the macro:
[RouterCommand_1]
take_1=D40.71,D40.265;Hybrid C to CH5
take_2=D40.315,D40.93;MM1 to Hybrid C
Here, the comment lines clarify the two routes
between Hybrid C and a NetWave console. This
type of route is the most common usage for a
macro on a NetWave console. The first line de-
fines Take 1, which routes source signal 71 (an
I/O card input on device D40, a VistaMax card
frame that is the parent device for the NetWave)
to destination signal 265. Signal 265, per the
VMCC Signal Summary, is the channel 5 input
for a NetWave console in Hub 0, facet 4.
Take 2 defines a route to send the mix-minus
output of Telco 1 (console source signal 315) to
destination signal 93 on device 40.
