3 Creating Communication Patches
A patch in FlexGate represents a group of interfaces that are linked together in full-duplex communication. In other
words, when one interface receives audio, it will be transmitted to all other interfaces that it shares a patch with. You
can create patches on the configuration website, under the Patches tab. By default, you will have four empty patches,
labeled Patch 1 through Patch 4. You can have an unlimited number of patches, and you can name them however you
want. These names are for your reference, and they are only visible on the website or to HQi clients that have access
to them (see Chapter 5: Using HQi).
To avoid confusion, interfaces can only be associated with one patch. Interfaces that are not within any patches will be
listed in t
he “Available” section on the left. The “In Patch” section on the right will list which interfaces are located in the
patch selected from the dropdown box. There is no limit to the number of interfaces that can be in a patch.
To add interfaces to a patch, first select the patch you wish to add them to from the dropdown box. Then, select the
interfaces you wish to add from the “Available” box. Finally, click on the “Add to Patch” button. Similarly, you can remove
interfaces from patches by selecting them and
clicking on the “Remove from Patch” button.
Note: You can select multiple interfaces at a time by dragging your mouse while holding the
left mouse button, or holding the CTRL button and clicking each interface separately.

FlexGate communication patches.
