Connecting to the NK-IPS in the Routing Switcher System
Before you can set up and send a configuration document to the NK-VRC, you must connect an NK-IPS to the
NK-VRC. Once DashBoard locates the NK-IPS, the attached NK-VRC will be visible and can have configuration
documents sent to it.
Auto-Detect
By default, DashBoard attempts to auto-detect the NK-IPS on the network. If the device is not detected
automatically, the NK-IPS can be manually added using the New NK IPS Connection window in DashBoard.
For More Information on...
• automatic device discovery and manually adding a device, please refer to the section “Configuring Devices” in
the DashBoard User Guide.
• the NK-IPS Connection window, refer to the NK-IPS User Guide.
NK-VRC Interface Overview
The NK-VRC interface allows users to configure physical mapping and resource management for the NK-VRC, as
well as assign a name and brief details for the device itself. The options and features are displayed as a series of
tabs.
Any changes to the parameters on the NK-VRC interface will need to be sent to the NK-VRC using the Send
Configuration button before they take effect. Alternatively, clicking Refresh will discard any unsent changes.
