Connectivity

I am looking to have our Carbonite Switcher control 2 destinations on our Ultrix Router.  I was reading in the manual that this can be done with RossTalk triggering Salvos, but that will get really messy because I have to build a salvo for every possible combination of sources and destinations.  Is there a way to use RossTalk to trigger a spacific cross point?  For Example, Destination 3 get Source 12. 

Hi David, It sounds like what you need is to execute crosspoints with single commands. Unfortunately you can't do this using rosstalk.

We do have a couple options. 

1. If you are creating a custom dashboard page you can use the "button object " to include an on click function to execute a source to destination switch on a specific Ultrix. 

2. if you want to use an external protocol you can use PRobel or GVG native to send a command to the Ultrix to ask for the crosspoint to be set.

Here is an example of how I would use Probel SW-08 commands to control the ultrix.

Here is how I test

Download and launch Hercules https://www.hw-group.com/software/hercules-setup-utility

GO to the TCP client tab

Type in the IP of Ultrix and port 8190

Select the HEX checkbox

Copy and paste the commands below

If you want to send commands to test you can use these

Source 1 to destination 1

10 02 02 00 00 00 00 05 F9 10 03

Source 2 to destination 1

10 02 02 00 00 00 01 05 F8 10 03

Source 17 to destination 10

10 02 02 00 00 09 10 10 05 E0 10 03
