Page 20: Making Router Connections
In order for a NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 Family router to communicate with a SMS7000 system controller, the router must be connected to an EC9535. The router is connected using the serial control system connections, located on the rear of the EC9535, and a cable provided by Miranda (WC0152). -
Page 21: Making Diagnostic Connections
There are two sets of diagnostic connections: one set is located on the front of the control cards and one set is located on the rear of the EC9535, labeled ‘DIAG’. Which is used is entirely up to you and your facility needs. Usually the control card connection is used when the diagnostic connection to UniConfig is temporary. -

4. Maintenance The EC9535 does not require any periodic electrical or physical maintenance. However, it is rec- ommended that the system’s indicator LEDs be checked on a regular basis to ensure that the system is operating properly. (See Indicator LEDs on page 21.) It is also a good idea to regularly make sure... -
Page 30: Air Flow
Air Flow A fan in the EC9535 frame draws cooling air from the front of the frame, through the door, and exhausts heated air through the rear. The EC9535 must have the door correctly installed and closed for proper airflow through the chassis. -

3 levels: video, AES, and time code. A hypothetical device in this system is Camera 1, which consists of video on input port 1 of the video router, AES on input port 5 of the AES router, and time code on input port 8 of the time code router. (The EC9535 does presently include time-code routers.). - Page 34 Converter switches one type, or level, of a device’s signal set. Physically Matrix modules are said to be in physically contiguous slots in a EC9535 frame when both the Contiguous inputs and outputs associated with those slots are in numerical sequence. For example, input slots 5 and 6 are physically contiguous because inputs 1-16 and 17-32 are in numerical sequence.
- Page 35 A device can be both a source and destination. An example of such a device is a VTR. (Super Wide Band). A term originated by Miranda that refers to the ability of a router to pass a wide range of digital bit rates and formats. Miranda’s SWB supports data rates from about 15 Mb/s to 1.5 GB/s.
