Typical System Equipment
Routing switchers may be connected to other NK Series devices via the T-Bus control system to form a multi-level
routing switcher system. For smaller routing applications, routing switchers may be used individually to provide
switching across a single router level or signal type. The NK Series of routing switchers may be controlled by:
• an NK Series remote control panel
• the DashBoard NK Switchboard
• an automation system or RS232 terminal, via an NK-SCP/A ASCII/RS232 Control Interface
• the NK-VCP Virtual Control Panel
• the NK-GPI General Purpose Interface
DashBoard software may be used to set up each routing switcher via an NK-IPS Network Bridge. These parameters
can be saved in a configuration file and sent to a routing switcher at any time using DashBoard.
Typical equipment that is used in an NK Series routing switcher system includes:
• any of the NK Series routing switchers with its appropriate power supply
• an NK-IPS Network Bridge
• an RCP-NK1, RCP-NKM, or RCP-NKQ Remote Control Panel
• a PC running DashBoard, connected via a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the NK-IPS
• standard source and destination equipment (for example, cameras, VTRs, servers)
If you are connecting the PC directly to the NK-IPS, use a crossover CAT5 Ethernet cable.
If you are connecting the PC indirectly via an Ethernet switch to the NK-IPS, use a straight-through CAT5
Ethernet cable.
