Serial control protocols
You may use any of the following protocols with these ports:
PASHA/PageMatrix - same as the classic PASHA protocol on Miniframes and
Mainframes.
PASHA stands for Peavey Audio Serial Handling Adapter, and is a serial protocol for
controlling MediaMatrix systems from external control systems.
PASHA/XControl - Provides basic S (Set) PASHA functionality with X-Net2-style trigger
commands.
RATC1 - same as classic RATC, but via the serial ports.
RATC stands for Remote Access Telnet Command, and is a protocol for controlling
MediaMatrix systems from external control systems that are capable of TCP/IP and Telnet
communications.
RATC2 - RATC2 via serial ports.
XDAB communications
Connecting multiple NIONs
When you are connecting multiple NIONs together using the XDAB ports, as described in the
section Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet (on page 47), we recommend that
you connect them in the configuration shown below.
For information on the technical specification of XDAB, see XDAB performance (NION n3,
NION n6) (on page 86).
