Snell Wilcox Nucleus
The Snell Wilcox Nucleus is a router controller that maps the physical inputs and outputs of the router to the software inputs (sources) and outputs (destinations).
This protocol is used to set the input/output connections of the router. It also polls and displays the input/output port information and PSU and fan fault status.
About
The connector first retrieves the destination-specific information, which includes which output ports are connected to which input ports. It then fills in and displays the connection information in the matrix. When a new connection is set by the user, the protocol updates the destination-specific information table and and displays the new connection information in the Matrix.

Installation and configuration
Creation
SNMP Main Connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the main device/controller.
- Device address: When the matrix is partitioned into different levels, the level of the matrix has to be set as the device address (required in order to get/set crosspoints). The default value is 1.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
SNMP Redundant Connection
This connector supports redundant polling and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the redundant device/controller.
- Device address: When the matrix is partitioned into different levels, the level of the matrix has to be set as the device address (required in order to get/set crosspoints). The default value is 1.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
Note: If there is no redundant device, you can simply fill in the same settings as for the main device.
Usage
General
This page contains general information on the device, such as the Name, Model, IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, etc.
The Matrix Size page button allows you to customize the number of inputs and outputs of the matrix. The Maximum Number of Inputs/Outputs parameters are read from the device, while the Number of Inputs/Outputs Visible are custom settings that allow you to overrule the Maximum Number of Inputs/Outputs.
Main Matrix View
This page displays the Matrix, where you can view and set the input/output crosspoint connections.
Matrix Table
This page contains the destination-specific information table, which contains the input/output connection information. The input/output crosspoint connection can also be set from the table.
Faults
This page contains the PSU and Fan fault statuses.
I/O Status
This page contains the input/output port information in the Digital Video Input/Output and Installed Input/Output Ports tables.
