Port Mode
Function
Explanation
Pass
All programs and PID’s that are present at the ingress get passed directly to the Egress with no remapping
performed.
In this mode, no PID conflict detection is performed on the Egress, so it is the user’s responsibility to ensure
that no conflicts exist.
Manual
Recommended for most applications.
Only programs and PID’s that are manually added by the user are passed to the Egress.
PID values and program information are mapped using user-defined values.
As a default, the incoming values are used for the outgoing values.
In this mode, the DTA does prevent PID conflicts in the Egress as part of the auto-logic algorithm.
Auto
All programs and PID’s present in the Ingress that are added to the Egress by the user, will be added and
remapped by the DTA Router according an auto-logic algorithm.
In this mode, the DTA does prevent PID conflicts in the Egress as part of the auto-logic algorithm.
