Chapter 4: Resource Switching Router 17
Configuring a Switching Router
The AMWorks software enables you to configure a switching router by using one of the Configure
Resource Router options (Define TRG, Define CRG or Define DRG). Using the Configure
Resource Router feature, you can create connections tables and associate them with system servers
and AMX user stations (supported by AMX5120, AMX5121 and AMX5130 user stations). These
connection paths enable any input to be switched to any output having the same signal type. Before
defining resource groups, you may name the router levels and ports on the selected router.
To configure a switching router:
1. From the AMWorks software main menu, select the Resource Routers tab and then click
NVISION - Configure .
2. (Optional) Name the levels and ports on the switching router. On the Resource Router
Configuration dialog box, click the
Naming tab and name the router as desired.
3. After naming the levels and ports, define CRGs, TRGs and DRGs for the switching routers in
your system by selecting the appropriate tabs on the Configure Resource Router dialog box.
For more information see
Defining TRGs on page 18, Defining CRGs on page 20 and Defining
DRGs on page 21.
4. After you have defined the resource groups for the switching router(s) in your system, view the
router information by selecting the
Router Info tab.
To change the IP address of a resource router:
1. From the AMWorks software main menu, select the Resource Routers tab and then click
NVISION - Configure .
2. Using the Device IP Address drop-down menu, select the IP address of the resource router you
wish to change and click the
Change Address button.
3. Enter the new device name, device IP and backup IP in the provided spaces.
NOTE: Changing the device IP does not automatically change the device name: the device name is purely a
label-string that is assigned by the user. Therefore, it is possible for the device-name to be inconsistent with the
device-IP.
4. Click OK to accept the changes
- or -
Cancel to exit without making the change.
Naming Router Levels and Ports
After adding the switching router(s), you may enter descriptive names for a router's level for the
input/output ports to replace the default internal numbers. These descriptive names will be
displayed in the Define TRG, Define CRG and Define DRG tab dialogs to assist in creating the
resource groups. After naming the levels, inputs and outputs for selected routers, begin defining the
resource groups.
