Making Router Control System Connections
6 Repeat the process in step 5 for the lower portion of the router frame.
Be sure when inserting the expansion connector into each expansion connection that the con-
nector is positioned as follows:
• Black side of connector faces
left.
• Silver side of connector faces
right.
Making Router Control System Connections
Routers in the NV8500 family must be connected to a router control system such as the NV9000.
Different kinds of connections are possible:
• Serial Control
—
use to connect to a third-party router control system requiring serial control
connections.
• Ethernet Control
—
use to connect to the Miranda NV9000 router control system and to create
network connections.
• Miranda Aux Bus
—
use to connect to a third-party router control system requiring an Aux Bus
connection. This connection is not supported at this time.
If connecting two expandable router frames together (NV8280-Plus, NV8576-Plus), only one
router is directly connected to the router control system. This router acts as the
primary
router.
Additional control system expansion connections are then made between the primary router and the
secondary, connected router. This enables the router control system to communicate with both rout-
ers through the primary router. (See
Control System Expansion Connections
For the router control system to communicate with the router, you must enter COM port, Baud rate
and IP address information in each control card using UniConfig. You must enter this information
using a diagnostic connection (the ‘DIAG’ port) between the router and the PC running UniConfig.
(See
on page 74.) After the information is entered, the router con-
trol system connections can “see” the router and the router control system connections can be con-
figured. Refer to the
UniConfig User’s Guide
for details.
Serial Control Connections
Serial control connections are used to connect a router to the router control system. Serial connec-
tions are often used for third-party control systems. Although serial connections can be used for the
Miranda NV9000 control system, it is recommended that an Ethernet connection is used instead.
(See
The serial control ports are divided into two sets that communicate with the primary control card or
the secondary control card. Additional ports enable you to connect to an alternate control system
Important
In the lower portion, the backplanes are inverted. Consequently, the expan-
sion connectors in the lower bay face the opposite direction as those in the
upper portion of the frame.
Caution
The connector pins are fragile and forcing the connector can cause damage.
