Envision Peripherals NV3128 manual Configuration, The Universal Control Or Command Interpreter

2.2 CONFIGURATION

2.2.1 THE UNIVERSAL CONTROL OR COMMAND INTERPRETER

The Universal Control Card (EM0134-XX) constitutes the current control module for the NV3128 Router. It includes a Test/Normal jumper near the front of the card that should always be set to Normal mode. In addition there are two AES Ref jumpers that are not used in the NV3128.

Partitioning, port configuration, and diagnostic interface settings are done using the UniDiag PC software program. See the UniDiag Manual for instructions.

The Command Interpreter and the Matrix Control II are obsolete control cards for the NV3128 Router. Some instructions in this section apply only to older systems having these cards. These instructions have been retained for the benefit of customers who own older systems, but they are labeled "(OBSOLETE)" so that they are clearly identifiable.

2.2.2 PARTITIONING (OBSOLETE)

In systems using the newer Universal Control Card, partitioning is done with UniDiag. Older systems with the Command Interpreter are partitioned using the steps that follow.

The NV3128 consists of a single physical partition whose I/O dimension is the dimension of the routing switch, either 128x128 or 64x64. A shadow partition can be created to allow multidrop command hookups. By enabling the second ghost partition, I/O ports are addressed on either of two controller levels. A port addressed on the first level is configured for point-to-point routes. The same port addressed on the second controller level is configured for multidrop routes. Section 3.1 discusses the distinctions between the two types of Take.
