Section 5 — Router Configuration
Note See Sample Router Configurations on page 148 for examples of several con-
figurations of Physical and Logical Matrices, Segments, and Elements.
33. Click the Logical Matrix button on the System Configure Main menu.
34. Use the Select button in the Matrix section of the screen to choose an
undefined Logical Matrix (~Undef Matrix n).
35. Click in the Name field and type a more meaningful name, for example,
Washington SD.
36. Click the Level button to choose the Level to which you want this
Logical Matrix assigned.
37. Specify the number of Elements in this matrix by typing the appropriate
number in the
No. Elements field.
This will generate a corresponding number of Element n buttons in the
Map of Elements to Segments section of the screen.
38. Click each Element n button and choose the Segment to which you want
it mapped.
39. If you want Inter Level routing, click the desired Level(s) in the
Permitted Inter Level routing section to toggle them on/off.
Note Inter Level routing is only permitted within a single Crosspoint Group.
Virtual Crosspoints
Virtual crosspoints extend the physical crosspoints associated with a
Logical Matrix. All virtual crosspoints are processed entirely within soft
-
ware and only routes with a physical input and a physical output are for-
warded to the Matrix Controller via a communications channel.
Virtual crosspoints belong to Logical Matrices and are identified by a sepa-
rate range of connector IDs ranging contiguously from virtual point one to
the maximum virtual point for the Logical Matrix.
Where a Logical Matrix supports multiple Elements only a single virtual
crosspoint is used. This virtual crosspoint is used for all Elements in the
Level.
Sources
A Source is configured to contain one or more inputs, with each input
residing in a different Logical Matrix. When configuring a Source, you
assign specific inputs, or physical connections, to the Source name. There
-
after, when you specify that Source name, you are selecting the assigned
inputs residing on Logical Matrices in Levels enabled in that Take or other
operation.
