Appendix A: NK-VCP and NK-Hub

The NK Virtual Control Panel (NK-VCP) communicates via the NK-IPS and enables monitoring and control of the

router matrix. If required, it is also possible to control multiple systems, alternating between each as needed.

As the NK-VCP works in conjunction with the NK-IPS, NK-VCP control can be password protected to only allow

authorized users to perform router functions.

The NK-VCP runs in the Java platform, using version 1.4.2 or later of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This

allows the application to run on any system that supports the Java Virtual Machine (VM). The same program can

run on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and other platforms.

For the NK-VCP to load, the JRE must first be installed.

Note:

• Although the NK-VCP will operate with Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 and later, it is recommended that users

have the latest JRE installed on their computer before using the NK-VCP.

For More Information on...

• installing the NK-VCP, please refer to "Installing NK-VCP" on page A–4.

After installation, the NK-VCP can be started from the link placed on the desktop or from the Start menu.

All communication requests and activity are shown in the bottom left corner of the NK-VCP interface.

Multiple NK-IPS configuration devices can be added to the one NK-VCP. When the NK-VCP is first loaded, the

default NK-IPS will need to be configured. To add or change the settings for the default NK-IPS, or add another

NK-IPS to the NK-VCP, first select Preferences from the Edit menu.
