Configuring a Router
You can use Jupiter, Encore, or SMS7000 router in your operation.
You need to configure your router on the Router Configuration panel in the GV STRATUS Control
Panel application.
When connecting to a Jupiter router, use the ESswitch interface protocol. If you are connecting a
Jupiter router using a serial hub, you need to configure a virtual COM port and install the software
before configuring the router.
You can also use Jupiter with the AccuSwitch application that can be configured in the GV STRATUS
Control Panel application.
Encore system can be configured to control cross points of a single routing matrix, or expanded to
control multiple matrices depending on your system needs.
Configuring Virtual COM port (Jupiter only)
In order to connect to Jupiter router via ethernet, a serial hub needs to be configured.
Before starting to configure the DIGI One SP RS422 Serial to Ethernet Device Server, write down
the MAC address located at the bottom of the hardware.
This serial hub will act as a virtual COM port, which enables serial-to-ethernet connectivity as
though Jupiter is communicating with GV STRATUS via the local COM port.

communications between Jupiter router and DIGI One SP Device Server. The appropriate pinouts
can be referred from the table above.
