1 Product overview
The Modular SDI Router is part of the VikinX Modular products range, offering up to 256x256
3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI X-points.
This top of the line router provides a very compact frame, fully hot-swappable architecture,
built-in dual redundant power supply and fully redundant controller functions.
Starting with the size of 32x32, the router can be expanded under operation with 32x32
increments. Advanced control features like TCP/IP interface and SNMP agent, as well as
comprehensive surveillance of the router’s vital parameters are available via the Multicon
Monitoring and Control system.
The Modular 3G/HD/SD-SDI router provides output reclocking and input (cable) equalization;
all of which can be turned on/off on an individual basis.
As for our well known VikinX compact router series low power consumption has been
important.
VikinX Modular provides a fully hot-swappable architecture, meaning that all components are
front loaded without any active components on the rear panel.
VikinX Modular provides all important 3rd party control interfaces allowing the control of our
routers through 3rd party management software. On top of that the THOR management
package allows control of the most common 3rd party routers. This enables you to utilize
existing routers and management systems from other manufacturers and still draw the
advantages of implementing VikinX Modular in your routing application.

3 Modules inside the Modular 256x256 router
In order to get an overview of the parts that form the Modular 256x256 Router this chapter
will highlight some of the main components.
3.1 How to access the modules
All active modules are accessible through the front of the router frame. If service or
inspection is required, open the unit from the front. The door may be removed for easy
access to the modules.
An important feature of all the modules in the Modular 256x256 Router frame is that they are
all hot-swappable. The user does not have to turn off the power in order to
remove/reinstall/replace a module with active components inside the Modular 256x256
Router.
When a board is hot-swapped and the reset button pushed, the router will restore the current
setting within seconds.
3.2 How to configure the router and modules
Setting up and configuring the router and its modules are done with the Nevion Configurator
software. The Nevion Configurator is shipped with the router, or could be downloaded from
www.nevion.com.
For further instructions on router configuration, please see the online documentation in the
Nevion Configurator.
When the size of the router is changed by adding or removing of Main X-point
modules and/or I/O X-point modules, the Nevion Configurator must be
reconfigured to fit to the new router size.
3.3 Power supply module
Each Modular 256x256 router frame comes with four power supply modules. The first two
power supply modules are inserted in the slots marked with (A and C), and the second power
supply pair is inserted in the slots marked (B and D).
3.3.1 Module insertion
In order to insert a power supply module one must insert the module via the special plastic
guide rails into its position. Once the module is inserted, fix the module by lifting up the
handle on the front and pushing it to the upright position.
In frames where two ground straps are mounted in the upper power section, these must be
connected to the power supply modules as described in the pictures below.
Just unscrew the screws. Then remount through the eye of the ground straps.
Be aware the horizontal direction.
Modular 256x256 Router Rev. 4
nevion.com | 11
3.3.2 Module removal
In order to remove a power supply module, one must pull down the handle on the front
downwards to a horizontal position, and pull the module out with the bar on top of the power
module.
3.3.3 How to connect power to the Modular 256x256 Router
On the back of the frame, there are eight power connectors. Four of these connectors are for
AC mains connections; the other four connectors are for optional DC battery connections.
Use an IEC 320 connector to connect AC mains to the Modular 256x256 router frame.
There is a switch on the right hand side of the power supply module that selects
mains voltage. The mains voltage can be either 110VAC or 230VAC. This switch
must be set in the correct position, depending on the mains voltage on the
router’s site.
Failing to select correct AC mains voltage properly may damage the Power
Supply Unit.
Since all power supply modules shall be mounted, all 4 AC mains connectors must be used,
each pair (A+C and B+D) preferably from two different mains circuits.
DC battery power is connected to the frame with screw terminals.
If the frame is equipped with two power supply modules, two DC battery connections are
used. However, if the frame is equipped with redundant power supply modules, all four DC
battery connectors must be used, each pair (A+C and B+D) preferably from two different
battery circuits.
A combination of redundant power supply, using both AC mains and DC battery, is possible.
The frame must then be equipped with two power supply modules of each type, and two AC
connectors and two DC connectors must be used.
Minimum load specification for VikinX Modular PSU is 10% of maximum load.
This means that unused PSU modules should not be connected to AC mains, or
DC battery. Unused PSU modules that are connected to AC mains, or DC
battery, may show blinking alarm LEDs and produce clicking sounds.
This is not dangerous, but we recommend that the user disconnects
unused PSU modules from their respective sources.
3.3.4 Status LEDs and relay contacts
The Status LED indications on AC PSU modules are slightly different from those of DC PSU
modules.
There are 2 LEDs on the front of each power supply module, and they indicate the following:
AC PSU modules:
Upper, RED LED:
Normally OFF. If it is ON, there is a power supply failure, indicating
that the power supply module must be replaced.
Lower, GREEN LED:
Normally ON. If it is OFF, there is no mains power supplying the
frame.
DC PSU modules:
Upper, RED LED:
Normally OFF. If it is ON, there is a faulty output voltage, indicating
that the power supply module must be replaced.
Lower, GREEN LED:
Normally ON. If it is OFF, there is no input power supplying the
frame.
