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 user must enter the following information:
•Name: Description of the resource you are editing.
•Driver: Select LVIA for the serial router VIA. (The driver EtereSW is not in use any longer; it has been maintained for compatibility) set LPT for the serial router INTEGRATOR, which supports the pass-through protocol.
•Config: Enter the no. of cascaded routers (type 0 if there are no cascaded routers)
•Model: Choose GENERIC and indicate the number of Inputs and Outputs of the model you have.
•Channel's Number: Insert the number of the router's inputs and outputs.
•Router Switching Levels: Some routers allow you 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, and TIMECODE and for each, 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 levels 1 and 2 in the AUDIO/VIDEO box; if the switching of a possible serial port corresponds to level 4, start level 4 on the SERIAL PORT box.
(if your router does not offer this possibility, leave all levels installed)
Serial Connection Wire
RS-232 (standard wire)
RS-422 (beta72 wire)
Leitch VIA Integrated Series Resource 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 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 default com configuration has the following parameters:
Baud: 9600
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8
You can modify Bauds only.
Backup Router
If you wish to manage another router as the Backup router, activate this option, insert com data, or leave the option blank.
The backup router must ultimately be THE SAME as the main one.
