Configuration
Once the ULTRIX-MODX-IO blade and the modules are installed, you can proceed to configure the
AUX ports, and module I/O ports in DashBoard. This chapter provides a brief overview of the
configuration options in DashBoard for the blade I/O ports.

Before You Begin
You may also need to install an:
• UltriSpeed license if the blade includes an SFP-HDB-IN-12G, SFP-FIBER-12G, and/or
SFP-HDB-OUT-12G.
• Ultriscape license for each port that will be used to provide an Ultriscape head output.
• UltriSRC license for each port to be configured for an asynchronous MADI input.
• Ultrisync-UHD - A per input frame sync license to support UHD video rates. Each slot supports up
to 3 Ultrisync-UHD ports. Requires software version 4.2.0 or higher and is applicable only to the
ULTRIX-HDBNC-IO, ULTRIX-SFP-IO, and ULTRIX-MODX-IO blades.
• UltriSync license for each 3G input to enable alignment to the router sync.
• Ultrimix-MXR license to enable the configuration and use of audio mixer soft panels.
Using the Device Configuration Interface
The Device Configuration interface in DashBoard enable you to define the physical outputs, inputs,
and communication ports of the Ultrix router. You can also monitor the overall status of the router,
or just the status of a specific signal path or port on the rear panel. The Device Configuration
interface is accessed by clicking the corresponding button on the top toolbar of the interface.
This chapter summarizes the steps specific to configuring the ULTRIX-MODX-IO blade and its
modules using the following Device Configuration pages:
•
Port Configuration — reports individual I/O port status and settings. Selecting a slot
updates the table for all installed ports. Selecting a port displays only the options for that port
(the label under the port icon is lit blue). You can also choose to filter the information displayed in
the table (e.g. only inputs, or only outputs).
•
SFP Configuration — configure each populated AUX port on the blade.
For More Information on...
• the Device Configuration interface, refer to the user guide for your Ultrix router.
Overview
The Ultrix router automatically detects when the ULTRIX-MODX-IO blade is populated with modules
and SFPs. Each signal is made available in the routing system. The signals are initially named using
