NK-VRC User Guide (v05) Setting Up the NK-VRC • 29
• The check boxes in the Used column are not selectable in DashBoard. The Used check boxes indicate if a
resource is currently part of a selected complex switch.
• The check boxes in the Deallocate column are selectable in DashBoard. If selected, and the configuration is then
sent to the NK-VRC (see “Sending the Configuration to a Device” on page 21), the resource will deallocate
from the complex switch and take the park source if assigned (see “Configuring Park Sources” on page 29).
Configuring Park Sources
The NK-VRC uses park sources to “park” resources and destinations when de-allocated. It is a method of
communicating to the NK-VRC which source to send to de-allocated resources and destinations. User definable
park sources for each class can be routed to the inputs of free resources and de-allocated destinations accordingly.
To set up a park source
1. In DashBoard, open the NK-VRC interface.
2. Select the Parks tab.
3. In the Park Source field, enter a virtual source that will be routed to the input of a de-allocated resource or
destination with that class definition.
4. Click
Send Configuration (see “Sending the Configuration to a Device” on page 21).
Configuring Resource Rules
User definable resource rules control which resource type to use when switching from a particular class to another
class. For example, resource type ADC will be used when switching a source with an analog class to a destination
with a digital class.
To set up a resource rule
1. In DashBoard, open the NK-VRC interface.
2. Select the Res Rules tab.
