Glossary
The terminology used in this manual is defined as follows.
• Channel - A single, monaural audio stream. The E-SAT can switch up to 32
discrete inputs to 32 discrete outputs (16 x 16 stereo) per tier.
• Signal - Information from a single audio source. A signal may take up one
(mono) or two (stereo) channels.
• Chassis or Rack - A single unit backplane.
• GUI (pronounced “goo-eee”) - refers to the Windows XPoint program
Graphical User Interface.
• XYC GUI - refers to the XPoint program running in XY controller mode.
• Slot - A position within a rack where a single card is located.
• Tier - E-SAT is based on advanced X-Point software that support multiple
hardware levels called Tiers. While the software supports multiple tiers, the
E-SAT hardware only supports one tier.
• Salvo - A logical grouping of connections that may be made by the operator
via a single action (on the Configuration GUI, XYC GUI, or XY Controller).
The following terms apply to Router configuration.
• Switch ID - A unique identifier assigned to each E-SAT.
• Rack ID - The physical chassis ID number.
• Slot ID - The physical slot number in each chassis (numbered from 1-12).
• Channel ID - Channel IDs within a chassis run from 1-32. Input Channel IDs
are assigned directly to the input devices. Output Channel IDs are assigned
directly to the output devices.
• Signal Type - Each input and output in the E-SAT is associated with a type of
signal, either mono or stereo. The importance of this information at configu-
ration time is the number of channels each signal consumes. Mono signals use
1 channel and stereo signals use 2.
