Third Party Protocols
The NK-3RD Third-Party Interface enables a third-party control system to control an NK Series routing switcher
system using the SW-P-08, SW-P-02, Jupiter ESswitch, or GVG Native protocol. Using one of these protocols, an
NK Series router can emulate a third-party router (limited to crosspoint switching and crosspoint status/tally
requests). This allows a third-party automation system using the third-party’s system protocol to control an NK
Series router.
For More Information on...
• these commands, refer to the appropriate third party equipment’s protocol documentation.
