Appendix B: Resource Module X-Y Network Communication
Including the NSM Router(s) in the
RouterMapper Database
You can transfer NSM router information into a RouterMapper database
via a connection to a PC on which you have RouterMapper installed
and operating. To transfer the information into RouterMapper, connect
the router to the PC indirectly using a serial port/X-Y port, or use an
Ethernet connection to an Ethernet hub/switch.
Setting Up a Serial Connection
Follow these steps to set up a serial connection:
1. Connect the PC’s
serial
port to the serial port on a device (such as
an SPT-LSERIAL, a CCS Gateway, or other Leitch router) using a
null modem cable.
2. Connect the device’s
X-Y
port to the NEO frame’s X-Y port using a
coaxial cable.
3. Ensure power is applied to the NEO frame and that the frame is
configured for a coaxial X-Y network connection to RouterMapper.
4. Ensure the NSM router(s) in the NEO frame are configured for the
desired source, destination offsets, and X-Y level assignment.
See the Pilot/Co-Pilot/Navigator documentation for information on
setting the
SrcOffset
,
DestOffset
and
X-YLevel
parameters.
Transferring Router Information (Serial Connection)
To transfer the router information to the RouterMapper software
application using a serial connection, follow these steps:
1. Open RouterMapper.
2. Click
Comm Settings
at the RouterMapper main menu bar.
The
Communications Settings
dialog box appears.
3. Make the following selections:
•
Set the default connection to
Serial
.
•
Select the appropriate comm port.
•
Set the baud rate to match the rate selected for the device to
which you are attached.
Note
RouterMapper cannot
communicate directly to a NEO
frame via a serial connection.
For a serial connection to a
device on the same X-Y
network as the NEO frame,
follow the steps listed.
Note
Source and destination offsets
of the NSM routers must be
multiples of 16.
