DM NVX Director Virtual Switching Appliances
A DM NVX Director virtual switching appliance emulates the functionality of the
traditional hardware-based matrix switcher (for example, the DM-MD8X8-CPU3).
The virtual switching appliance allows comprehensive system configuration,
management, and signal routing of a DM NVX system.
The DM NVX Director web interface allows automatic discovery of each DM NVX
endpoint on the network and the assignment of each endpoint to a domain. The web
interface also enables custom endpoint naming and search tools, an XML-based device
map file for import and export, logging, diagnostics, and SNMP messaging support.
DM NVX Director models consist of the DM-NVX-DIR-80, DM-NVX-DIR-160, and
DM-NVX-DIR-ENT. The following sections provide information about each model.
DM-NVX-DIR-80
The DM-NVX-DIR-80 includes four 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces and a dedicated
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). Best suited for single large rooms,
the DM-NVX-DIR-80 supports 80 devices and a single domain.

DM-NVX-DIR-160
The DM-NVX-DIR-160 includes four 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces and a dedicated
IPMI. Best suited for groups of small rooms, the DM-NVX-DIR-160 supports 160 devices
and 20 domains.

DM-NVX-DIR-ENT
The DM-NVX-DIR-ENT includes six 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces, six 10-Gigabit
Ethernet SFP+ interfaces (four of which are also compatible with 1-Gigabit Ethernet),
a dedicated IPMI, and redundant power supplies. The DM-NVX-DIR-ENT supports 1,000
devices and 240 domains.
