Find which Video Router Source and Destination Ports to Use
A SAM IP routing system is presented as a traditional video router to the user, with source
and destination ports; these router ports have numbers and user-friendly names.
A range of source ports and a range of destination ports is required for the MV-805 to use:
•
MV-805 multiviewer display outputs
(source spigots):
These need to be assigned to be source ports of the video router.
A contiguous range of source ports is required (i.e. 4 ports for MV-805-16
,
8
for
MV-805-32).
•
MV-805
multiviewer video inputs
(destination spigots):
These need to be assigned to be destination ports of the video router.
A contiguous range of destination ports is needed (i.e. 16 ports for MV-805-16
,
32
for
MV-805-32).
If port ranges are not known, they can be found by inspecting the list of router source and
destination ports which is available in SAM Orbit.
8.3.1 To Find Used Router Source Ports
1.
View the
Router Src Ports Tab
(for example, see Figure 74)
and inspect the list of router source ports for a suitably-sized gap in the port
numbering.
2.
In Figure 74, a gap in the
Router Source Port
numbering has been found:
•
Router Source Ports
114 to 207 inclusive are unused and available for the new
MV-805 to use.
This has identified candidate router source port numbers to use for the new MV-805.
