Miranda nVision 9000 Router Control
The Miranda nVision 9000 Router Control connector is used to view the status of an NV9000 Router Control System over TCP/IP and control its crosspoints.
This connector uses serial communication to configure and monitor routers supporting the nVision NV9000 Ethernet protocol.

Configuration
Connections
Serial Main connection
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION:
Interface connection:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
- IP port: The IP port of the device, e.g., 9193.
Usage (Range 1.0.0.x)
Crosspoints
This page contains the parameters that need to be configured in order to obtain the status of the router's ports. To be able to start the polling, you first need to configure which subset of the router control card's outputs will be polled. You can do this by specifying the Level Number and configuring the total number of outputs that are retrieved, using the Number of Outputs parameter.
The Crosspoints Table contains information about the connected Destination Ports and Source Ports.
It is possible to set a specific crosspoint by providing a Source Port Label, Destination Port Label, Source Level and Destination Level on the Set Crosspoint page.
Note: With the Set Command Mode parameter on this page, you can select the command for setting crosspoints: Take Input to Output (default) or Device All Levels Take.
Input
This page contains the Crosspoints Input Table, which stores the present input source ports.
Output
This page contains the Crosspoints Output Table, which stores the present output source ports.
Matrix
This page displays a Matrix that contains the connected inputs and outputs.
Usage (Range 1.0.1.x/1.0.3.x/1.0.4.x)
General
This page contains the parameters that need to be configured in order to obtain the necessary information. Physical parameters are displayed on the left, and device parameters are displayed on the right.
In order to start the polling for physical crosspoints, you first need to configure which subset of the router control card's outputs will be polled. You can do this by specifying the Level Number and configuring the total number of outputs that are retrieved, using the Number of Outputs parameter. It is possible to enable or disable displaying the physical matrix UI.
For device crosspoint parameters, the start and stop of the destination and source IDs must be indicated. You need to specify the Device Level Number in order to then enable or disable the polling of information.
Note:
- Range 1.0.4.x implements the default parking input feature. When this is active, whenever you disconnect a crosspoint, the output is connected to the default parking input.
- Range 1.0.4.x implements communication with the Virtual Matrix connector.
Physical Crosspoints
The Crosspoints Table contains information about the connected Destination Ports and Source Ports.
It is possible to set a specific crosspoint by providing a Source Port Label, Destination Port Label, Source Level and Destination Level on the Set Crosspoint page.
Note: With the Set Command Mode parameter on the General page, you can select the command for setting crosspoints: Take Input to Output (default) or Device All Levels Take.
Input
This page contains the Crosspoints Input Table, which stores the present input source ports.
Output
This page contains the Crosspoints Output Table, which stores the present output source ports.
Physical Matrix
This page displays a Matrix that contains the connected inputs and outputs.
Device Crosspoints
The Device Crosspoints Table contains information about the connected Destination and Source IDs. It is also possible to set a specific crosspoint by means of the Connected Source column.
Device Source
This page contains the Device Source Table, which stores the information about the source ports.
Device Destination
This page contains the Device Destination Table, which stores the information about the destination ports.
