When switching levels are defined as part of the controller configuration file through Cattrax, each level
is assigned a number as it is created. While the number in no way determines priority or importance of
one level over another, it is a convenient way to order and identify the levels. Numbers assigned to
levels determine the sequence in which the levels are displayed in include lists. The number also
determines the left-to-right order in which the switching level columns are displayed on the sources and
destinations configuration pages of Cattrax, with switching level number one (1) appearing as the first
displayed (left-most) column.
For identification purposes only, this User Guide uses the term ranking to refer to a particular switching
level’s position in the numerical order of all switching levels. For example, the level assigned the
number 1 (or the lowest number in whatever sequence is used) would be, for identification purposes, the
highest ranking level in the system. The ranking of all other levels would be determined by their
assigned number in numerical sequence.
As it pertains to a Smart 32 control panel, a level ranking determines on which switching level the panel
displays status when the panel is in breakaway mode. If All Levels is shown on the display screen as the
Level for which the panel is currently showing status, the actual switching level for which source and
destination status is shown will be the level defined as the Status Level for the panel during panel
configuration. If a switch is initiated, the selected source group is routed to the currently selected
destination group on all switching levels authorized to the panel.
Any display other than All Levels indicates the panel is in breakaway mode, either for status display or
switching. If more than one, but not all, levels controlled by the panel are selected, as would occur when
setting up a panel for a breakaway switch, the panel will display status on the highest ranking of the
selected levels. For example, you might select three levels for a breakaway switch out of eight levels
that are authorized to the panel. In this case, the panel will display status on the highest ranking of the
three selected levels, but will switch on all three selected levels if a switch is initiated.
