Table 3-1 WAVE Router Tabs

product/software information.

Router Table Tab
The Router Table tab provides a visual representation of the currently loaded salvo. The source inputs are located on the right of the table and the destination outputs are located at the top.

From the router table you can:

• View each connected route.
• View the RP-168 reference input status (Reference Input). The status will display the kind of signal feeding the router from a source.
• View the input signal type (Input Status). Examples include 3G, 12G and MADI. A loss of signal is displayed in a red shaded square with the label of LOS.
• Set the input mode to automatically detect all video modes except MADI or to force the input to detect MADI. When MADI is elected, other video modes are not detected; the Input Status will only display MADI or LOS. Select the desired item from the pull-down menu.
• Edit source and destination names by clicking on the desired input or destination output. By default, sources are named SOURCE-1 through SOURCE-64 and destinations are named DEST-1 through DEST-64. Clicking on the desired source input expands the entire column allowing you to rename the source. Clicking on the desired destination output expands only the selected destination.
• Reroute an existing route by clicking on the desired source/ destination location.

1. Click New Salvo. A blank salvo is added to the end of the list with a label of “UNNAMED” in the Name field.
2. Provide the desired name in the Name field.
3. Click Add Route and select the desired Source input and Destination output from the pull-down menus.
4. Repeat this step for each route you want to add.
5. To delete a route, click x under the Source input field you want to delete.
6. Click the Expand/Collapse button to close the route list.

New Salvo from Route
Use this option to create a salvo based on the currently loaded salvo.

1. Click New Salvo > New from Router table. A new salvo is added to the end of the list with a label of “UNNAMED” in the Name field.
2. Click the Expand/Collapse button to view the currently configured routes.
3. Edit, add, or delete routes as necessary.
4. Click the Expand/Collapse button to close the route list.
   Trigger a Salvo
   To trigger a Salvo, click the Trigger button associated with the desired Salvo.
   The Router Table is updated to reflect the routes associated with the Salvo.
   Delete a Salvo
   To delete a Salvo, click the trash icon with the Salvo you want to delete. The Salvo is immediately deleted.

Status Tab
The Status tab provides information on the current status as well as the ability to display or hide specific types of messages.

Status Settings
By default, users are notified whenever an event occurs. User can view the status message associated with the event. Users have the option to ignore any status messages that may be displayed.
To ignore messages, click anywhere in the Status Settings field and add a check mark to the desired message under the Ignore column. Selected status messages are immediately ignored from displaying in the status field and will also be ignored on the LED status lights on the front and rear of the router.

Current Status
By default, the Current Status field displays the current status. Clicking anywhere within the Current Status field expands the field to display the status. Outstanding issues with the unit, if any, are displayed. If no issues exist, the following message is displayed.

Any time a change is made (such as creating a new Pesa Panel) or an event occurs (such as triggering a salvo), the Status tab provides an indicator that a change or event has occurred. The indicator badge is displayed above the Status tab. Clicking anywhere within the Current Status field expands the field to display a description of the event that occurred.

Reference Input (Ext Ref Loop) Error/Alarm Condition
The reference input forces the router to comply with RP-168 during a switch if present. If there is no reference present or the reference is incompatible, the router will display a service-affecting error (RED). If an error/alarm condition occurs and the user chooses to switch to a different path, the switch will occur immediately and will not comply to RP-168. If the user does not want to use a reference input and also does not want the error/alarm condition to be shown, they have the option to ignore that error status by using the Status tab to ignore the status message. This will cause the RED LEDs to not show red and the status badge indicator to not display.

Note: Not all video signals can be used as a reference. Table 3-2 lists the RP-168 compatible video signals. Non-supported references will not switch within the RP-168 timing window.
