1) Fitting an MV-831 into a Sirius 830 Router
Router Power Supplies:
Sirius 830 routers have powerful power supplies. In most cases, these are sufficient for powering
MV-831(s). Grass Valley recommends checking your router power supply configuration with Grass Valley support before
fitting MV-831(s) into the router. (For contact details, see
https:/www.grassvalley.com/contact/support/
)
MV-831:
This is a double-width Sirius 830 module, comprising double-width Rear & Front modules. See
Fitting instructions
:
1. If SFP modules are supplied separately, fit them to the MV-830-RP rear module.
An MV-831 module occupies a pair of (front and rear) router input/output slots. For example: slot-pairs
1 & 2
; or
11 & 12
.
Note:
Router I/O slot numbering: From the
front
, numbering is
left-to-right
; from the
rear
, numbering is
right-to-left
:
2. Ensure a vertical ‘slot-pair’ of router input/output module slots are available and empty.
Go to the
rear
of the router:
3. Remove any blanking plate already covering the router rear slots.
4. Fit the MV-830-RP rear module. Secure with four screws.
Go to the
front
of the router:
5. Open the router front outer door; open the lower router fan door.
6. Insert the MV-831-MB front module. Push the module into the slots
with the module ejector handles.
Ensure the module is pushed fully into the slots with module ejector handles pushed fully inwards.
7. Close the router’s fan door and front outer door.
Caution:
Always keep router doors closed to ensure correct unit ventilation and
operation. Only open a router door for a maximum of 2 minutes.
Booting:
After the front module is fitted, the MV-831 begins to boot up.
Booting up lasts for approximately 1 to 2 minutes. During boot-up:
8. A splash screen appears on each active multiviewer head display output.
Connect a monitor to each. See
. IP addresses are shown.
9. After booting, each multiviewer head display output shows a default video
wall. See
Figure 5
on page 3.

In
RollCall Settings
, set up
Unit
number (default = 01) and
Domain ID
(default = 100) for the MV-831.

Unit number must be unique for each unit.
Typically, ‘Domain ID’ is the same for each unit.
Restart MV-831:
6.
In the
