54 Glossary
Soft Key
A special type of data key whose assigned function may be changed locally by a panel user.
Win3500Plus is used to designate a data key as either a soft source key or a soft destination key.
The assignment of a specific source or destination to the soft key may then be made with either
Win3500Plus, or locally at the panel by using Store Mode.
Soft Source Key
See: Soft Key.
Source
One or more logical inputs (limited to one per level), on one or more levels, which are switched
together as a group.
Source names are constructed using one category followed by 0, 1 or 2 indices. If no index is
selected, the default “00” (which is not displayed) will be used.
Source Block
A means of ensuring that a particular source will not be switched to a specific destination,
inadvertently or without adequate permission.
When configuring a switching system, it may be desirable to use source blocking to restrict the
switching of certain logical inputs. This may be done while configuring either sources or
destinations.
Since a blocked source may contain a logical input that is shared (used by more than one source),
care should be taken to ensure that all sources using the logical input are blocked from the
destination to be protected.
Source Group
See: Source.
Source Include List
A named list of the sources a specific control panel is authorized to control.
A source include list may be shared by multiple panels.
Source include list names are one to eight characters in length and are constructed using uppercase
letters, numbers, and spaces. The first character must be a letter.
Source Number
A number assigned to each source by the controller and used by CPU Protocol 1.
Source numbers are also assigned to reentries.
Status
A list of all sources on all levels currently switched to a selected destination.
Sometimes also used to refer to the operational state of the control system (lock status, switch
status, and panel status).
