System Overview
A routing switcher system may use distributed control across the internet, a LAN, or a VPN. The routing switcher
system shown in Figure 2.1 has been simplified.

All ethernet connections use standard CAT5/5e/6 Ethernet cables.
How the RCP-ME and Routing Switchers Communicate
The RCP-ME can operate in two distinct modes; physical and virtual. In physical mode switching, the RCP-ME
sends switch requests directly to the routers (via NK-NET, NK-IPS). The router/s respond via the same method to
the RCP-ME and the RCP-ME updates its display according to the result.
Virtual mode switching informs NK-VRC, Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller of the switch request, and
they in turn issue physical switch requests to the router/s
Physical mode switching restricts SRC button 1 to be physical IN 1 on a router when used with an NK series router.
Virtual mode switching removes this restriction and NK-VRC, Ultrix routers or Ultricore Central Controller
devices can 'map' this source #1 command to one or more unrelated physical inputs sockets.
The RCP-ME stores information on the menu, destination, level, breakaway (when used with an NK series router),
and machine control status. The routing switcher stores the crosspoint status in its internal memory.
