2. Click the Naming tab on the Resource Router Configuration dialog box.
3. From the Device drop-down list, select the switching router you wish to configure.
4. From the Level drop-down list, select the level you wish to name.
NOTE: The input and output tables will display the input and output port numbers for the level you selected.
5. (Optional) In the Level Name field, type a descriptive name to associate with the Level entry
you selected. This name can be from 1-8 characters.
NOTE: The Level Name field will display a name if one has been defined or the ASCII character for its number if
a name has not been defined. Leading and trailing spaces will be deleted when Save Names or OK is selected.
6. (Optional) In the Name fields of each table, type descriptive names for the input and the output
ports for each port number. The port numbers will be displayed in the Input and
Output
columns.
NOTE: The Name fields in the tables will display names if they have been entered or ASCII characters for the
numbers if names have not been defined. Leading and trailing spaces will be deleted when Save Names or OK

Defining TRGs
After you have added a switching router and named the levels and ports available in the router,
define a Target Resource Group (TRG) for a particular server. The TRG you define will associate a
router, an input or output port designation and an input port definition with the selected server for
each index in the group. When this server is connected to a user station, the AMWorks software
maps, by index number, the TRG with the corresponding Console Resource Group (CRG),
enabling the switching of the proper input ports to output ports. After defining the TRG for a
selected server, define a CRG and, optionally, a Default Resource Group (DRG) for AMX
switching system user stations.
The AMX switching system also enables you to define TRGs that group each of the following:
