G2 Series 1U Router Control Panel

User Manual

Specifying Destinations and Sources

Destination and source port selection requires specifying particular destination(s) and 
source(s). This can be difficult on a small panel with a larger-sized router and many sources 
and destinations. To help, the specifying of the ports may be done by:

• Router  port  number.

• Router  port  name.

• User-defined categories.

Panel configuration enables the user to set up a panel in the required operational mode.
