Reference Manual

You can also think of the commands as hierarchical: A frame (F) contains sections (S) and
sections contain cards (C).

The following is a small and simple example:

F 8144
S IN
C 1 0
C 2 0
C 3 3
C 4 1
END
S OUT
C 1 0
C 2 0
C 3 3
C 4 1
END

This example describes 4 input cards (in slots 1–4) and 4 output cards (in slots 1–4) in an
NV8144. In the example, the cards in the first two input slots are standard cards. The third input
slot has a disembedder card and the fourth input slot contains a MADI card.

Similarly, the cards in the first two output slots are standard cards. The third input slot has an
embedder card and the fourth output slot contains a MADI card.

Actual configuration files, of course, would be larger than this example, but just as simple.

If an NV8576-Plus has two frames, its configuration file(s) have 4 sections in order:

; Frame 1

F 8577
S IN

cards

END
S OUT

cards

END
;Frame 2

F 8577
S IN

cards

END
S OUT

cards

END

You must specify the cards in ascending order of the slots.

Important: the slot ordering follows the slot labeling on the rear of the router, although
some older routers might have different labels. See

Slot Numbers

on page 51.

Note that if DHP does not recognize the content of a line in the file, the line is treated as a
comment. You are free to intersperse comments throughout the configuration file.
Comments typically start with a semicolon (;) or an asterisk (*).
