Setting Up Input and Output Cards
*
Input cards allow the user to enable or disable cable equalization. When enabled, the cable equalizing input can adjust to the data rate and cable length to minimize jitter.
The output card allows the user to specify the type of signal and whether or not reclocking is applied to the output.
To set up an input card:
1.
In DashBoard, open or select an NK-IPS in the Basic Tree View.Double-click on a routing switcher from the list of devices connected to the selected NK-IPS.
The NK Series Router tab opens in the main window.
2.
In the NK Series Router tab, select the IO Cards tab.
The IO Cards tab is displayed.
3.
In the Details table of the Input Cards section, click the necessary input numbers of an input card to enable cable equalization for the selected inputs on the selected card.
Selected inputs are colored. Unselected inputs have no color.
4.
Click Set for the corresponding input card.
5.
Click Send Configuration to save the details and send them to the device.
To set up output cards:
6.

The IO Cards tab is displayed.
8.
In the Details table of the Output Cards section, observe the output signals (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) for any accumulated jitter.
9.
Selected outputs are colored. Unselected outputs have no color.
In some situations, it is recommended to disable reclocking to reduce cumulative effects of serial reclocking along a signal path.
10.
Click Set for the corresponding output card.
