Setting Up Virtual Routing and Resource Management
The routing systems described in this use physical switching only. That is, source 1 on level 1 refers to the first
socket on the back of a routing switcher assigned to level 1. When an NK-VRC Virtual Routing Core is added to the
system, virtual routing is possible. With virtual routing, physical inputs and outputs are mapped to virtual sources
and destinations. For example, a virtual source may switch input 15 on level 1 and input 27 on level 2.
The RCP-NKM must have virtual routing enabled to use this feature. When virtual routing is enabled, the sources
and destinations that you assign on the RCP-NKM refer to the virtual sources and destinations, as defined in the
NK-VRC.

Virtual Routing must be enabled when using the RCP-NKM with an Ultrix routing system.
Additionally, resource management may be implemented on the NK-VRC to manage routing of different signal
types between one or more routers using external resources.
