Destination Mode.
The destination mode button enables
destination
selection using the array of selection but-
tons.
When a panel operator presses the destination selection button, we say the panel is in desti-
nation mode. The 64 selection buttons turn
amber
and permit the selection of one of 64 des-
tinations.
•
Source Mode.
The source mode button enables
source
selection using the array of selection buttons.
When a panel operator presses the source selection button, we say the panel is in source
mode. The 64 selection buttons turn
green
and permit the selection of one of 64 sources.
Stand-Alone Definitions
The terms
source
and
destination
have specific meaning with respect to routers.
In general, a
source
is a set of associated input ports and a
destination
is a set of associated
output ports. (The
source’s
inputs connect to a device at which a signal originates. That can be
called a source device. A
destination’s
outputs connect to a device to which you are sending the
signal and that can be called a destination device.)
A
level
is the set of signals that are routed by one router. A network of 4 routers therefore has 4
levels — one for each router.
Breakaway
is defined as a route in which a destination receives input from different sources on
different levels.
For a Single Router
1 A source is an input (i.e., a connector) on the CR6400 router.
2 A destination is an output (i.e., a connector) on the CR6400.
(When you have just a single router, the set of inputs for a source is just a single port and the set
of outputs for a destination is just a single port.
For a Router Network (Up to 4 Routers)
1 A
source
is set of
N
inputs on the routers in the network, where
N
is the number of routers. A
source comprises the same input on all
N
routers. (All levels are included in the source).
Example: in a network of 3 routers, source 5 is the set of input 5 on router A, input 5 on router
B and input 5 on router C.
2 A
destination
is set of
N
outputs on the CR6400s in the network, where
N
is the number of
routers. It is the same output on all
N
routers. (All levels are included in the destination).
3 If the operator routes source
J
to destination
K
,
then input
J
on all routers is taken to output
K
on all enabled levels. (A level — i.e., a router — is enabled when a level button on a CP6464
panel selects it.)
4 Breakaway can occur by choosing different levels for separate takes to the same destination.
(The concept of breakaway is undefined for a single router.)
