Introduction

The RCP-200 Router Manager Software allows you to create a virtual routing environment

where physical router resources can be arranged into one or more logical configurations that

are optimized for operational needs. This document shows you how to configure and operate

router configurations using RCP-200.

Overview

The RCP-200 Router Manager Software allows you to create a virtual routing environment

where actual physical router resources are deployed and controlled by software into a

customized configuration optimized for your operational needs. Large routers can be

operated as if they were multiple smaller routers. For example, a 64 × 64 router can be

operated as if it were three separate smaller routers: for instance, a 64 × 15 router, a 12 × 5

router and a 32 × 44 router. Control and monitoring are handled by software, and are readily

changed. Each operator benefits by seeing only the resources actually being used. This

software can also be used as a bridge interface between a Kaleido or iControl Web system and

a routing device. In this configuration, it will be used to update UMD text, and for router

control functions initiated from the Kaleido or iControl Web user interface. The software

includes the following features:

• bridge interface via TCP-IP for Kaleido and iControl Web software

• distributed architecture

• highly configurable

• multiple number of levels

• support for logical routers

• support for a mix of different frame types from different manufacturers

Communications with Routers

The host computer and the routing devices you wish to control must be interconnected by a

serial or Ethernet cable. Most of the supported routers are serial (RS-422) devices. Some newer

devices may support TCP\IP connection.

Introduction

User Interfaces Available with RCP-200 Router Manager Software

Install the appropriate connection, either by using dedicated cabling or through an existing

network.

User Interfaces Available with RCP-200 Router Manager Software

RCP-200 Router Manager software includes two types of interfaces:

• a configuration interface

•operatinginterfaces

Configuration Interface

The configuration interface, called Router Manager Configurator, is used for router setup and

configuration. Use this application to define physical and logical routers.

Operating Interface

The operating interface used to monitor and control the logical routers is on the RCP-200

device.

For more information, see "Configuration Interface" on page 3.

Configuration Interface

The process of creating and configuring a third-party router or router control panel consists of

four steps:

1. Defining a physical router

2. Adding one or more physical levels

3. Adding one or more logical routers

4. Adding one or more logical levels

Overview

The Router Manager Configurator interface has two panes. The left pane always displays a

hierarchical list of folders which can be expanded to expose more detailed information.

The Router Manager folder is always at the top level in the list, and typically includes the

Physical routers and the Logical routers subfolders. The subfolder structure is variable and is

established during the system setup. There are two tabs at the top of the left pane:

Configuration and Dynamic Control.

•UsetheConfiguration tab to set up and configure your system, after which the router

service and clients must be restarted for changes to become effective.

•UsetheDynamic Control tab to perform any of a subset of live configuration changes,

after which no restart is required.

In either tab, click a folder or a list item to select it; double-click a folder to open it. Both tabs

also have a tool bar with buttons to open and close the router manager folder, at the top of the

list (not the currently selected folder). The Close button is available when the router manager

folder is open; conversely, the Open button is available when the router manager folder is

closed. The Configuration tab also has a Save button which becomes available whenever you

make some change to the system configuration.

The right pane displays data-entry zones and information areas associated with the current

left-pane selection. When a logical router is selected in the left pane, the right pane has

additional tabs.

System Recommendations

Grass Valley recommends the following hardware specifications for optimal performance:

Grass Valley requires that the following software is installed on your client PC:

Detailed Directions

The procedures outlined in the following sample workflow are tasks performed exclusively on

the Configuration tab:

Recommended hardware specifications for optimal performance

Memory Processor Operating System

2 GB RAM Intel Core i3 or better Windows 7 or Windows 8

Minimum software requirement

Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later.

Sample workflow: Configuring routers

1. Open Router Manager Configurator (see page 5).

2. Define all of your physical routers. Do one of the following, as required:

•"Adding Physical Routers" on page 6

•"Importing an NVISION Physical Router Configuration" on page 9

3. [OPTIONAL] Assign aliases to physical input and destination port (see "Adding Aliases for your

Physical Input Ports", on page 16).

4. [OPTIONAL] Remove any physical routers that you would like to remove (see page 22).

5. [OPTIONAL] Modify any pre-existing physical router configurations, if required (see page 19).

6. Define levels for your physical router definitions (see "Adding Physical Router Levels", on page 13).

7. [OPTIONAL] Modify or remove any pre-existing physical router level definitions, if required

(see "Modifying Physical Router Configurations", on page 19).

8. Define all of your logical routers (see "Configuring Logical Routers", on page 22).

9. [OPTIONAL] Remove any logical routers that you would like to remove (see "Configuring Logical

Routers", on page 22).

10. Define levels for your logical routers (see "Configuring Logical Routers", on page 22).

11. [OPTIONAL] Modify any pre-existing logical routers and their levels, if required (see "Configuring

Logical Routers", on page 22).

12. [OPTIONAL] Remove any logical router levels, if required (see "Configuring Logical Routers",

on page 22).

Router Manager User Guide

Configuring Routers

Opening Router Manager Configurator

To open Router Manager Configurator

• On the Main RCP-200 Web page, click iC Router Control.

Router Manager Configurator appears.

Configuration Interface

Adding Physical Routers

To add a physical router

1. In Router Manager Configurator, on the Configuration tab, select the router manager

folder (named RouterManager in the graphic, below), and then click Open.

2. Select the Physical Routers folder.

A list of all physical routers added so far to your system appears in the right pane.

3. Click Add Router.

A new Router N folder appears in the Physical Routers folder on the left, and detailed

data-entry areas appear in the right pane.

Note: Although it is possible to perform the following procedure as a stand-alone

task (assuming all stated requirements are met), Grass Valley recommends you

familiarize yourself with the sample workflow (see page 4) in which this procedure is

only one step within a sequence.

REQUIREMENT

Before beginning this procedure, make sure you have opened Router Manager Configurator

(see page 5).
