45. Click the Alias button to give the Source an Alias.
A Source Alias is an additional name that can be defined and/or
changed from another application such as the Local Router Panel
without the potential risks associated with using Router Control appli
-
cation. Aliases enable operators to give more meaningful temporary
names to Sources and can then be displayed on Encore control panels
and the Local Router Panel instead of the underlying (actual) Source
name. For example: Let’s say you have a Source named SAT-1 (Satellite-
1). If the signal on SAT-1 happens to be HBO, then a meaningful name
might be HBO. If the signal changes to CNN, the alias can be changed
to CNN without re-configuring the router.
46. Click the Type button to choose a hardware type for the Source you’re
configuring.
