Router Tools
After your router is configured, you can use the pages of the ‘Router Tools’ section to monitor
system status and module status, manage the switching matrices, and view alarm messages.
These are its pages:
MRC automatically updates system and status information every 8 seconds.
Configurator Tools
The ‘Configurator Tools’ section provides preference settings, application version information,
and online Help.
These are “tools” that help you use MRC.
Selecting a Control Card
To perform configuration tasks, you must generally select a router’s control card.
When a control card is selected, it is selected in all MRC pages associated with that control card.
For example, if you select a control card on the Control Cards tab in the ‘Crosspoints’ page, that
same control card is automatically selected on all pages in which the Control Cards tab appears.
