UniConfig—Stage 2
Enter a number in this field. The number is typically 1 or some small value. The delay is the
time between the “break” of the previous connection and the “make” of the new connection (as
a number of frames).
Perform Takes in UniConfig
UniConfig is not intended to be a “GUI.” However, you can perform limited takes to test the opera-
tion of the router.
Follow these steps to perform individual takes in UniConfig:
S
You can do this with a serial connection, but it is more effective to do this with an Ethernet con-
nection.
1 Launch UniConfig. If your installation permits, choose ‘Ethernet’ from the Communications
menu. Otherwise, use a serial connection. Select and read the NV5256 configuration.
2 Choose ‘Connections’ from Window menu:
Click ‘Read Outputs’ to obtain the current crosspoint status. You can specify the range of out-
puts to read.
The table shows the status for each output. Remember that ports are both inputs and outputs, so
port 10, for instance, appears in the input column and the output column. The ‘LPR’ column
represents the “lock, protect, and release” status of the ports. The term “tristate” indicates that
the port is disconnected.
3 To perform a take is simple: specify an input and output in the ‘Single Take’ area at the top left
and click ‘Execute’. Then click ‘Read Outputs’. The example above shows input 10 taken to
output 3 where the ports are “machine control reverse.” That is to say, port 3, the output, is for
the
controlling
device and port 10, the input, is for the
controlled
device.
