Introduction I Overview The WJ-ASC960 is a software upgrade package for the WJ-MPU955A, and can be installed on top of the WJ- MPU955A CPU. Refer to WJ-MPU955A Operating Instructions. The WJ-ASC960 software creates a distributed IP- based network platform with one or more WJ-MPU955A CPU working together to form a large-scale security sys- tem.
CD-ROM. I WJ-GXE900/GXD900 Version To use WJ-GXE900 and WJ-GXD900 devices with WJ-MPU955A equipped with WJ-ASC960, the devices' firm wave must be version 2.00 or later. The version is displayed on the home page of either device when accessed via a web browser. Please refer to MPEG2 Encoder WJ-GXE900, MPEG2 Decoder WJ-GXD900 Operating Instructions.
A video switch node is a device or a group of devices that are capable of performing a video switch from any of its video inputs to any of its video outputs. In the WJ-ASC960 based system, there are three types of video switch nodes: GX switch node, SX850 switch node, and SX650 switch node.
SX850 or SX650 switch node. The domain is capable of performing system tasks as an independent entity, or working with other domains to create a distributed network security system. In a WJ-ASC960 based sys- tem, the system assigns its domain number equal to its unit number.

I Global Network and System Domains As stated on page 6, the WJ-ASC960 system only has one GX switch node. The digital video network is an IP-based network, which is created to transmit digital video streams within a system domain or cross multiple system domains.
I Video Link Network and Video Switch Nodes The video link network consists of one or more video links, which connect one video switch node to another, and passes analog video across different video switch nodes. The following diagrams show a sample of a video link net- work in a WJ-ASC960 system.
Panasonic system, we used to have separated global administration tool software just for global database. With WJ- ASC960 V4.2 and up, the global administration tool software is not required for global database setup. The WJ-ASC960 Admin Console should connect to the system’s global data network. It should be able to reach each system domain’s CPU units.
PC station with WJ-ASC960 Admin Console. The system’s WJ- MPU955A CPU must have the WJ-ASC960 upgrade software installed in order to perform all of the system func- tions. The sample Local database – 01=hybrid850.adm-and sys.ini file – 01A=sys.ini-for Administration Console are provided on the CD-ROM.
• Refer to WJ-GXD900 Operational Manual to set following configuration through the Web browser. Decoder # Operation Mode Main CPU mode Note: The rotary dip-switch valued should not be same as Encoder’s one. G L3SW Setup • Set the following IP Address to each port. Port # IP Address 192.168.1.1...
The system also has WV-CU950 controllers for system or local operators, and a PC station with WJ- ASC960 Admin Console. The system’s WJ-MPU955A CPU must have the WJ-ASC960 upgrade software installed in order to perform all of the system functions. The sample Local database – 01=hybrid650.adm-and sys.ini file –...

Within the domain, a PC with WJ-ASC960 Admin Console software installed is required to configure resources and operations within the domain. The two system domains can work independently as standalone systems.

The following system includes two system domains. Each system domain has its own SX650 switch node. The sys- tem domain has two WJ-SX650 matrix switchers. It contains a domain WJ-MPU955A CPU with the WJ-ASC960 upgrade software installed. Within the domain, a PC with WJ-ASC960 Admin Console software installed is required to configure resources and operations within the domain.

In each WJ-MPU955A CPU, there is a system configuration file named SYS.INI. You can view and edit the file through WJ-ASC960 Admin Console. For each new system domain that is set up, you need to enter the correct ID in the [UNIT] section of the SYS.INI file.
G GX Switch Node and its Domain For each GX switch node, there can be many encoder and decoder devices. In the case of a single domain system, such as the system on page 11, all the encoder and decoder devices will be assigned to that domain.
ASC960 Admin Console for the domain. In the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console, SX850 FRAMES screen, we need to configure the devices. Since these devices are part of the SX850 node, select SX850 from the Switch Nodes command on the Domain menu. Following are the sample data for matrix controller devices: 172.18.0.100...
G Enter Video Links in the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console (Global database) In the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console main screen, select Routing on the Domain menu. The LINK screen will be acti- vated. Then, enter the video link(s) information into the fields provided. In the following table, we used the example on page 11 to show what information you would need to enter.
G Enter Global Operators in the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console (Global Database) In the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console main screen, select Operators → Records on the Components menu. The OPERATORS screen will be activated. Then, enter the operator(s) information into the fields provided. For global operator(s), you can select one of the four global class levels.
I Upgrade MPU955A CPU to ASC960 To upgrade a standalone WJ-MPU955A system to a distributed WJ-ASC960 system, please refer to MPEG2 Encoder WJ-GXE900, MPEG2 Decoder WJ-GXD900 Operating Instructions. With this upgrade, you can create a multiple domain system that forms a large scale system.
The next highest priority operator gains control when the highest priority operator releases the resource. Here is a sample operation to switch video from local camera number 1 in domain 1, to another camera number 1 in domain 2, on a local monitor number 1.
G Global Camera Seize Operators must seize a camera in order to perform camera operations. After Global Video Switch and Video Routing (refer to page 26), you can seize a camera 200001, which means a camera in domain 2 with a camera ID of 1.
ID entered is greater than 64. The WJ-ASC960 can execute 20 tour sequence steps per second. If the WJ-ASC960 is asked to perform more than 20 steps in a single second, it will automatically form 20-step groups, and alternate their execution over a period of...
I System Wide Log View The system supports the following system logs: • Operator log • Alarm log In the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console main screen select the Tools, Logs, and System links to view system wide user logs and alarm logs. → →...
Check the video link direction in the “Routing Configuration” screen of the global admin. Video links on the decoder side should be the source node and matrix side should be the destination side. Reference page WJ-ASC960 Installation Guide P. 24 P. 26 P.
