2.4 PC-BASED SOFTWARE INSTALLATION (OBSOLETE)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The remainder of this section applies only to older systems using the Command Interpreter module. For newer systems using the Universal Control Card, skip the remainder of this section and go to the UniDiag manual.

GENERAL

NVUtils is a collection of PC compatible computer programs that provide diagnostics and control of the NVision family of digital routing switches. The utilities currently consist of two programs, NVTake and NVMap. Both programs communicate with the router Control Interface Module using RS-232 data-exchange protocol, requiring either the configuration of the module for that protocol or the intervention of an RS232/RS-422A converter.

NVTAKE

NVTake is a simple, minimally featured router control system. The program sends takes and take salvos to the routing switch Control Interface Module using controller commands from a long and growing list of protocols. Take salvos can be saved to disk and reloaded. For some protocols, the program affords crosspoint address queries and listings.

NVMAP

NVMap is a multi-purpose configuration and diagnostic tool. It allows the user to:

1.Query the router’s crosspoints connections

2.Query the router’s output monitor connections

3.Query and edit the configuration of the router/control interface.

4.Remap the correlation between the controller addresses and the physical switch addresses (the “scramble map”).

NVMap also provides diagnostic messages showing the results of controller commands sent to the router.

INSTALLATION:

NVUtils requires a PC compatible computer and at least one RS- 232 cable. A second cable is required for simultaneous operation of both programs in a multi-tasking environment.
