The NK Series routers have an input and output range of 1 to 65535 that can be set on up to 32 levels Routers may be configured identically using the web interface on the NK IPS or with Phoenix in which case they will switch at the same time Routers maintain status for their output range and also retain that status between power down cycles Routers also maintain protect information for their output range A control panel can protect a specified output if another device attempts to switch that output it will be denied Routers may be configured to have internal partitions These are always a factor of the maximum size for example a 32x32 router can be two 16x16 routers three 10x10 routers four 8x8 routers five 6x6 routers seven 4x4 routers or eight 4x4 routers Where there are unused crosspoints due to partitioning they will be the last inputs and outputs Configuration Options NK IPS The router Device Properties page accessible through the NK IPS allows users to configure interface and usability options for all NK Series routers and also displays the alarm status of the router as well as having the unique ability to assign names and brief descriptions for the devices themselves For details on how to query devices and use of the NK IPS refer to the NK IPS Internet Protocol Server User Guide 79 Ross Video IPS Windows Internet A 2 LA p ooge Serth pP Favorites Ross Video IPS l hd 9 X Wi Pages
4. Unpacking and Pre Installation After unpacking NK components please inspect all NK Series components for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transportation In the event of such damage please notify a Ross Video representative immediately NK Series components should be installed in an adequately ventilated rack frame ideally in an appropriate environment for audio visual equipment Relative humidity should be no more than 70 non condensing and temperatures should not exceed 30 C or 86 F If the above conditions are not attainable for operation it is advised that NK Series routers be installed with 1 RU space between them before use Connection Overview NK Series components are connected via the T Bus multi drop control system by a single CATS Ethernet cable Routers are supplied with their own power supply the NK1 panels are phantom powered by the routers they are connected to via the CATS cable Each control panel has two RJ 45 ports for phantom power and communications When connecting devices either port may be used to connect panels or routers to each other Address NK Series Control Panel e 13 Se NK Series Router Level Figure 3 38 Single Panel Connection Example 3 22 Installation NK Series User Guide v02 Panels can be linked together to expand the number of available buttons Panels are linked if they have the same address and a different device link address that is not 0 zero Linke
