The information displayed in the first part is merely descriptive and shows previously assigned data:
•Code: the path of the resource that you are editing is displayed
•Type: shows the resource type
•Number: indicates the ordinal number that identifies that resource in case others of the same type coexist.
The following information must be entered by the user:
•Name: description of the resource you are editing.
•Driver:
❑ for the model SR and MC set ELCA232.
❑for the model MX set ELCAMX.
(The EtereSW driver is no longer in use, and it has been kept only for a matter of compatibility with past installations)
•Config: In the case of ELCAMX driver indicate the Destination no. commands (in the case of more routers on a 485 bus), ELCA Module that sends the replies. The default values are 1,1
•Model: choose a model among the available ones.
If the model is not included in the list, choose GENERIC and indicate the number of Inputs and Outputs of the model you have (this is the only case in which you have to set these parameters).
•Channel's number: insert the number of the router's inputs and outputs.
•Router switching levels: Some routers allow to determine the switching levels, that is to define what has to be switched (audio only, audio and video, video only, serial port, etc.). If your router offers this option, levels can be set here. In Etere you have three kinds of switching: AUDIO/VIDEO , SERIAL PORT, TIMECODE and for each of them you can determine the levels to be installed.
example.: if, on your router, Video corresponds to level 1 and Audio corresponds to level 2, you must activate level 1 and 2 in the AUDIO/VIDEO box
if the switching of a possible serial port corresponds to level 4, activate level 4 on the SERIAL PORT box
(if your router does not offer this possibility, leave all levels installed)

Elca SR8/SR16/SR32/MC2424/MC3225 resuorce editor - User
After indicating which user and which software the resource has to be installed for, you have to set other data:
Com port setting:
The video router can be controlled directly through a serial connection (in this case you have to set the com number), or through UDP with the ETERESARVAJI software (in this case you have to indicate the IP address of the PC that EtereSarvaji runs on and the Local Port which EtereSarvaji uses.
Com configuration:
The com is configured in a fixed way with the following parameters:
❑Baud : 9600
❑Parity : None
❑Stop bits: 1
❑Data bits: 8
(With the driver ELCAMX is It possible to set the Baud.)
Backup Router
If you wish to manage another router as the Backup router, activate this option and insert com data,
or leave the option blank.
The backup router must be completely THE SAME as the main one.
