1. OVERVIEW
1.1. INTRODUCTION
The 7700SRV-XRF is the system controller (SC) for multi frame L band matrices comprised of Evertz
Microsystems L band routers. A maximum matrix size of 512x512 is achievable with the XRF6 router.
The 7700SRV-XRF hardware consists of a maximum of two SC cards housed in a 1RU 7701 multiframe
with optional dual power supply. One card is designated the primary SC card and the other the
secondary SC card. The secondary is optional and provides redundancy. At any given time, one SC
card is deemed active. Only the active SC card initializes the individual XRF6 routers. If present, the
other SC card is deemed standby. Both SC cards monitor their communication paths to the XRF6
routers. By default, when the system controller is powered on, the primary SC card becomes active and
the secondary SC card becomes standby. Switchover between the active and standby system controller
cards is automatic and the conditions causing switchover are discussed in section 1.2.

Figure 1-1: Connection Diagram for System Controller with
XRF6 Routers for a 128x128 System
Four XRF6 routers are illustrated for a 128x128 configuration (RF splitters and combiners not shown).
Each XRF6 router has two frame controller (FC) cards that are designated as either primary or
secondary via the chassis orientation table of the SC.
It is strongly recommended that all equipment involved with the router system be located on its own IP
network.

7700 MultiFrame Manual
SRV-XRF System Controller
Page - 2 Revision 1.2
The SC uses SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to communicate with the FCs of each
router. The primary SC card communicates with the primary FCs and the secondary SC card
communicates with the secondary FCs.
Control of the router system can be accomplished by using any combination of SNMP manager software
(such as VL-Pro), X-NCP2 panels, or Evertz Router Control (ERC) protocol over the SC’s Serial Control
Port (SCP). The control system(s) must interface with the active SC card.
Automatic switchover from the active SC to standby occurs under the following situations:
•The active SC fails to communicate with one of its router FC cards.
•The active SC is removed from its chassis.
•The active SC fails to provide a watchdog handshake response to the standby SC.
Manual changeover can be forced using:
•SNMP (VL-Pro)
•A serial console connected to the upgrade port of one of the SC cards.
For any switchover to take place:
•The standby SC must be present within the chassis.
•The standby SC must provide a watchdog handshake response to the active SC.
•The standby SC must be able to communicate with all of its router FC cards.
Up to 8 X-NCP2 network control panels can be connected to the active SC card. If switchover occurs
between the SC cards, the operator must have the X-NCP2 panel initiate a communications session with
the new active SC card.

Status LED: The large green and red LEDs at the top of the board indicate the card status. Only
one of these LEDs will be on at any time after power up. The Red LED ON indicates
an error has occurred and has been logged in the event log. Reading the event log
returns the status LED to green. The green LED ON indicates the system controller is
operating normally.
Toggle Switch: The toggle switch is used to display either the active / standby status of the SC card or
the IP address of the SC card. Moving the switch to the left will display ACTIVE or
STANDBY on the dot matrix display to indicate the current operating status of the card.
Moving the switch to the right will display the IP address of the card on the dot matrix
display.

4.2. MATRIX CONFIGURATION USING SNMP
This section outlines an example configuration of a 128x128 router using four XRF6-64x64 frames via
SNMP. It is assumed that the system controller has been configured. Details on configuring the system
controller card can be found in the MIB file. (Please contact Evertz Microsystems for this information).
Information on each router in the system is contained in the chassis orientation table. To configure a
matrix, data on all the frames in the system must be entered and then applied in SNMP by performing a
set (set to ‘true’) on the MIB parameter xrf6ApplyOrientationData.
For each frame, the required information includes the primary and secondary ( if available ) IP
addresses, the input start and end values and the output start and end values.

5. X-NCP2 PANEL OPERATION
5.1. X-NCP2 CONTROL PANEL
Figure 5: X-NCP2 Control Panel
The Evertz X-NCP2 control panel is a multi-function control panel used to control the 7700SRV-XRF
system controller or XRF6 and XRF1 routers, as well as other Evertz products. When connected to the
7700SRV-XRF system controller, the panel can be used to set crosspoints, execute salvos or configure
parameters associated with inputs and/or outputs. The panel communicates with the active SC card
using TCP.
To configure the IP addresses of the SC cards on the X-NCP2 panel:
1. Use the rotary knob to highlight <setup> on the LCD and push the SETUP key.
2. Highlight add frame and push SETUP.
3. Use the rotary knob to select Non SNMP as the frame type.
4. Use the rotary knob, SETUP key, and PANEL LOCK key to set the IP address of the primary SC
card.
5. Repeat step 4 for any secondary SC card.
6. Highlight <back> and push SETUP.
7. The IP address(es) of the primary (and secondary) SC card(s) should appear on the LCD.
To establish a communications session with the 7700SRV-XRF:
1. Use the rotary knob to highlight the IP address of the active SC card.
2. Press the SETUP key.
Once established, the communications session will remain active until:
1. Switchover occurs between the active and standby SC cards.
2. It is terminated manually by the X-NCP2 panel.
To manually terminate the communications session using the X-NCP2:
1. Simultaneously press the [↑] and [↓] keys.
Once a session is initiated, the panel is in destination ( output ) selection mode. This is the home or root
mode of the panel. An output can be selected using the scroll knobs or numeric keys. Press [Input
Select] to select an input destination. Press the [TAKE] button to apply the crosspoint to the system
controller.

The examples listed below illustrate two different methods of initiating a crosspoint take with the router
and also configuring the gain setting on the inputs. To move up one level in the menus when in
configuration mode, press the [ESC] key.
5.1.1. Example 1: Pushbutton Control to Switch Input 2 to Output 5
1. Initiate a panel session by highlighting the IP address (or router name) of the router in the display
area of the panel. This is done using the leftmost scroll knob. When the frame IP address (or
name) is highlighted, press [SETUP].
2. Press [OUTPUT SELECT] to put the panel into output selection mode. The numeric buttons 0-9
will illuminate.
3. Use the numeric buttons to select the desired output (i.e. 5) by pressing [5], followed by
[OUTPUT SELECT] to exit output selection mode.
4. Press [INPUT SELECT] to put the panel into input selection mode. The numeric buttons 0-9 will
illuminate.
5. Use the numeric buttons to select the desired input (i.e. 2) by pressing [2], followed by [INPUT
SELECT] to exit the input selection mode.
6. Press [TAKE]. The panel display will display the input and output selected, plus a “take
successful” message. The router does not perform the input to output connection until the
[TAKE] button is pressed.
In short, the steps are [SETUP], [OUTPUT SELECT], [2], [OUTPUT SELECT], [INPUT SELECT], [2],
[INPUT SELECT], [TAKE].
5.1.2. Example 2: Rotary Knob Control to Switch Input 2 to Output 5
1. Initiate a panel session by highlighting the IP address (or router name) of the router in the display
area of the panel. This is done using the leftmost scroll knob. When the frame IP address (or
name) is highlighted, press [SETUP].
2. Use the left scroll knob (of the right side display area) to select an output. As you scroll through
the system outputs, the current input connection is displayed.
3. Use the right knob to select the desired input.
4. To make the crosspoint selection, press [TAKE]. A “take successful” message should appear in
the display.
