Configure Ips - Ross NK Series User Manual

The Input (Source) Buttons
The Input buttons select the source or sources to be switched on the levels previously selected. The total number of
Input buttons shown is reliant on the number entered in the Configure IPS dialog box.
The Output (Destination) Buttons
The Output buttons select the destination for the source to be switched on the levels previously selected. The total
number of Output buttons shown is reliant on the number entered in the Configure IPS dialog box.
Virtual Routing Button
Press the Virtual Routing button to have NK Switchboard perform all switches in virtual routing mode. If
de-selected, any routing devices controlled through NK Switchboard will use physical switching.
The NK-VRC virtual routing core is required for virtual routing and resource management.
The Function Keys
The NK Switchboard function keys provide Machine Control switching (the MC button) and protecting of selected
inputs/outputs (the Protect button). For the Protect and MC buttons to be active, they must be enabled from the
Configure IPS dialog box.
Protects
The NK Switchboard displays protected outputs by either a yellow highlight, or a pink highlight (use the Key at the
bottom of the NK Switchboard tab as a reference). Outputs that are highlighted yellow are protected by that
computer and outputs that are highlighted pink are protected by another user or another panel in the system.
For the protect system to be accurate, each panel and computer operating DashBoard must have its own unique
address, configured in the Configure IPS dialog box.

Configure IPS

Use the Configure IPS dialog box to configure the number of inputs/outputs and levels, and to turn on protects and
machine control functions.
In NK Switchboard, click the Configure IPS button ( ) to open the Configure IPS dialog box.
