evertz XRF6 - Controlling the XRF6 Router Via the XNCP2; Example 1: Pushbutton Control to Switch Input 2 to Output 5

XRF6 RF Router Manual
Page 6-2 Revision 1.0 OPERATION
The same procedure can be followed to remove a FC from the XNCP2 list, except in step 2, select
<remove frame> instead of <add frame>. The panel will not require specification of frame type to remove
the frame address.
6.1.2. Controlling the XRF6 Router via the XNCP2
To control the router matrix, a panel session with the frame controller must first be initiated. This is
accomplished by scrolling to the IP address of the XRF6 frame controller and pressing the [SETUP] button
on the panel. The XNCP2 will display the input and output range of the router on the left hand side display
and the output destination selection mode on the right hand side display facing the panel.
A session may be terminated by pressing the [↑] and [↓] buttons simultaneously.

To release a session with the X-NCP2 panel (return to list of IP address selections),
press the [↑] and [↓] buttons simultaneously.
If there is more than one device on the network, the panel will show multiple IP addresses (or names, if
configured) in the display. Use the rotary knob to highlight the desired device, then press [SETUP] to
initiate a session with that device.
Once a session is initiated, crosspoint changes may be made by using the [Output Select] and [Input
Select] buttons, followed by the [TAKE] button. As an alternative to using the pushbuttons for input and
output selection, the scroll knobs on either side of the display may be used for output and input selection,
followed by the [TAKE] button.
The examples listed below illustrate two different methods of initiating a crosspoint take with the router.
Both examples illustrate making a connection between output 5 and input 2.
6.1.3. Example 1: Pushbutton Control to Switch Input 2 to Output 5
1. Initiate a panel session by highlighting the IP address (or router name) of the router in the display area
of the panel. This is done using the leftmost scroll knob. When the frame IP address (or name) is
highlighted, press [SELECT].
2. Press [OUTPUT SELECT] to put the panel into output selection mode. The numeric buttons 0-9 will
illuminate.
3. Use the numeric buttons to select the desired output (i.e. 5) by pressing [5], followed by [OUTPUT
SELECT] to exit output selection mode.
4. Press [INPUT SELECT] to put the panel into input selection mode. The numeric buttons 0-9 will
illuminate.
5. Use the numeric buttons to select the desired input (i.e. 2) by pressing [2], followed by [INPUT
SELECT] to exit the input selection mode.
6. Press [TAKE]. The panel display will display the input and output selected, plus a “take successful”
message. The router does not perform the input to output connection until the [TAKE] button is
pressed.
In short, the steps are [SELECT], [OUTPUT SELECT], [2], [OUTPUT SELECT], [INPUT SELECT], [2],
[INPUT SELECT], [TAKE].
