Each rectangle on the System Ports menu represents one of the 36
possible “port” connections in the system. A “port” connection is one of
the RJ-45 connectors on the PiCo’s rear panel to which remote panel
and interfaces are connected with shielded CAT-5 cable.
When a remote device is connected to a PiCo “port,” the rectangle will
first show a chequered pattern to indicate communications activity,
then will change to a solid light when the connected device is online
and communicating with the matrix.
In addition, a letter or number will appear above each rectangle to
indicate the type of connection, as follows:
