V-Ports
System2 is an event driven system. This means when a button is pressed an event is generated on
the network. This event is visible to all connected boards and will be acted on by those boards
listening for that event.
At the heart of the system is the “V-Port” or virtual port. The system will allow V-Ports in the range 1
– 60,000 which should be big enough for the largest and most sophisticated layouts.
When you set a V-Port address under the “V-Port” column you are saying that the servo is to listen
for events on this V-Port and take commanded action if appropriate.
A corresponding V-Port should be configured on an output channel such as a Panel Controller, PC or
DCC interface.

Input ports (physical connections to the board such as a switch) are grouped on the leftmost
columns. Here is a description of the columns:
