debugging. If the Telnet interface is disabled in the External Control configuration, the 9430 will refuse
the connection.
TCP/IP
You can open a TCP/IP session at a private port number (to be specified) to enable network control. As
with Telnet, this interface must be enabled in the External Control configuration in order for the 9430
to accept the connection. This is the preferred network equivalent to RS-232 and it works with both
ASCII and binary protocols and command sets.
Additional GPI and Serial Connections through JL Cooper
eBOX
Additional GPI and Serial connections for the Router can be made through the JLCooper eBOX, a third-
party device. It provides 24 GPI inputs, 24 GPI outputs and 4 serial connectors. Please see Using the JL
Cooper eBOX with Ensemble Designs Avenue Equipment for a detailed description of the process of
configuring the Router for GPIO (general purpose input/output) functionality using the eBOX.
SNMP Interface
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent in the 9430 supports Control and Status
queries from an SNMP manager.
Programming Reference Document
The Management Information Base (MIB) document, specific to the Router, is a required programming
reference while customizing the SNMP manager. You can either download the MIB document directly
from the Router’s web interface or request it from Ensemble Designs.
The SNMP interface will be active only if enabled through External Control configuration. SNMP
support will not be available on initial product shipments, but will be provided by a subsequent
system software upgrade.
Software Development Kit (SDK)
When control requirements go beyond straight forward functions, such as source to destination
routing and salvo execution, you may need to develop an interface more specific to your needs. To
that end, Ensemble Designs will be releasing an interface design guide, or software development kit
(SDK), to support such efforts.
Accessing Features Unique to the 9430 Flexible Matrix Router
That more extensive interface will be necessary when you need to access features unique to the
Flexible Matrix Router, such as:
• reading the input signal metadata;
• controlling the internal TSGs; and
• capturing video thumbnails remotely
