mapped to a physical connector (on virtual-mapped routers) on one or more levels, those
levels are simply not changed.

If “U2” is in effect (see “U” command), the response will include one or more V, Y, or X
commands to report the new status of the outputs. The response will be the same as if
“O” commands were issued for the outputs immediately following the “W” command. No
response is generated if this command is being used to define a salvo.

“X”: Connect Crosspoint

Use command X to request that a connection be made. It must be followed by an output
number, a comma, an input number, a comma, and a level number. For example:

**X8, 3, 2!!

This string says that a connection is to be made between output 8 and input 3 on level 2.
If the level number is specified as “0”, this means that the connection is to be made on all
levels (AFV). For example, the command:

**X8, 3, 0!!

This string says that a connection is to be made between output 8 and input 3 on all
levels.

“Y”: Connect AFV

Use command Y to request that a connection be made. It must be followed by an output
number, a comma, and an input number. The connection is made on all levels (AFV). For
example, the command:

**Y2, 8!!

This string says that input 8 is to be connected to output 2 on all levels.

“Z”: Connect AFV

The command "Z" is used to request that a connection be made. It must be followed by a
comma-separated list of input numbers, one for each output, up to the number of outputs
in the router. Fewer than the number of outputs may be specified if desired, and the
remaining outputs will be left unchanged. The connection is made on all levels (AFV).

For example, the command:

**Z4,18,7!!

says that input 4 is to be connected to output 1 on all levels, input 18 to output 2 on all
levels, and input 7 to output 3 on all levels.

An input number of 0 means the output connection is to be left unchanged.

An input number of ë-ë (dash) means the output is to be disconnected. If the router does
not support disconnected outputs, the output connection will be left unchanged.

Any input or (implied) output number may be specified as long as it exists on at least one
level. No connection will be made on any level on which an input or (implied) output
number does not exist. If the requested connection has an output or input number that
isn’t mapped to a physical connector (on virtual-mapped routers) on one or more levels,
those levels are simply not changed.

If “U2” is in effect (see “U” command), the response will include one or more V, Y, or X
commands to report the new status of the outputs. The response will be the same as if
