Configuring Zetron interfaces on legacy NexLog vs. NexLogDX Setting up resource name mapping via Alias Bank in NexLog DX Series

The virtual board templates for Zetron interfaces are the same between legacy NexLog and NexLog DXSeries. The difference lies in the introduction of Alias Banks, which allows for mapping of raw metadata field values to more useful alias values. Following explains the use of Alias Banks.

Scope: Additional reference guide to assist with setting up resource name aliasing for a Zetron IP recording virtual board. Primary resource with additional examples available in the NexLog DX-Series Manual, section 6.3.7. Alias Banks

Step 1: Start by adding an Alias Bank from the Recording, Alias Banks section, using the Add Alias Bank button.

Step 2: Start with filling in the form by giving a name in the Alias Bank Name section

Step 3: Setup Alias From -> Alias To fields for the “CHANNELNAME” field in both options.

Step 4: Select the IP recording interface/s that will use this bank. In this case, it will be needed for all resources so the Channels will say as “*”. If you have multiple IP recording boards, they can all share the same bank.

Step 5: Setup the rules based on raw/source and what you want to use as an alias. You will have multiple lines here, so click enter to start a new line/entry.

Last step: Click Submit to save the alias bank.

Note: With firmware version 2020.3 and prior, there is a known issue where you will have to enable the “Case Sensitive Matching” option for the Alias Rules to function properly.
