Permanent Route Configuration
It is possible to program specific inputs to be permanently allocated to specific outputs. Such routes are
‘permanent’ unless overridden by a higher priority input. The route is restored once the higher priority input is
removed.
The typical scenario is background music, which may want to be assigned to certain areas. An example
would be shop-floor areas in a factory complex. It is possible to allocate any output to any audio input by
means of the permanent route mechanism.
Although two music inputs, A+B, are provided, they are switched in the analogue domain before digitisation.
Therefore only one may be routed at a time. The Permanent Route mechanism is able to be used to route a
common ‘Music’ input, by default Music A. If, however both are switched via a contact Music A will have
priority over Music B and all routes using Music B will switch to Music A.
If concurrent Music permanent routes are required to disparate zones, then Mic/Line Inputs should be used
for additional music sources.
Another example is test tone, which is desirable to be permanently routed to specific outputs for the duration
of the commissioning or testing procedure without compromising the broadcast of the actual audio sources
connected to the VAR Router inputs.
L
A permanent route does not cause a busy indication on any microphone; otherwise all zones
would appear permanently busy in a scenario where background music feeds all zones.
In order to configure a permanent route proceed as follows.

.
2. Move to, and scroll the output list until the required output is displayed in the left field:
[OUTPUT 01] Not-conf
Default value:
output 1 name
Outputs:
4 output for VAR4
12 output for VAR12
20 output for VAR20
Note:
The output given above is the output 1 default name, however this may have been changed
according to each site’s configuration.
3. Move to, and scroll the right field list until the required input is displayed:
VAR20: Local inputs: 20 Mic/Line 12 DVAs + 1 music + Mute + Test Tone
OUTPUT 01 [Not-Conf]
•
[Not-Conf]
No permanent route associated with the output.
•
[MIC/LINE 01]
The output is permanently routed to this particular input.
Default value:
‘Not-Conf’
Inputs:
VAR4:
Local inputs: 4 Mic/Line 4 DVAs + 1 music + Mute + Test Tone
VAR12: Local inputs: 12 Mic/Line 8 DVAs + 1 music + Mute + Test Tone
Network inputs: 8 Mic/Line 4 DVAs + 1 music + Mute + Test Tone
Network inputs: 8 Mic/Line 4 DVAs + 1 music + Mute + Test Tone
