Zodiak Installation and Service Manual
Appendix C — External Interfaces
Router control panels can also protect router destinations from being
changed by other control panels. A protected router destination cannot be
changed by a different control panel, but may be changed by the panel that
set the protection. Protections help prevent inappropriate router source
changes. The Zodiak system can be considered a type of router control
panel, and so the Zodiak system can protect router destinations. Zodiak
system router protect commands are applied to all router levels.
The names of router sources originate from the router system, and their text
cannot be changed from the Zodiak system. If a routed Zodiak source has
no connection to the router, an
X
appears in place of the router source name.
If the router connection exists, but no source has yet been selected for that
destination (which can occur during bootup),
No Src
appears.
