Creating and Editing Profiles
A Profile provides each Control Point with a configured view of the Sources and Destinations on the
Router. A Profile defines which Sources and Destinations can be accessed from any given Control
Point.
A Profile also defines the order in which Sources and Destinations display for a Control Point. This
ordering feature is of particular interest in the case of RS-232 and TCP/IP control for automation
because it provides a simple means to map Sources and Destinations to suit the automation protocol.
Every Control Point, such as a web browser, an iPad, or a serial interface for external control, must have
a Profile assigned to it in order for that Control Point to be able to use the Router. Multiple Control
Points can share the same Profile.
Each Profile can be customized to have access to unique combinations of not only Destinations, but
also Sources.
Characteristics of Profiles
• Required for every Control Point
• Show only Sources and Destinations
• Define which Sources and Destinations can be accessed
• Define the order in which Sources and Destinations are displayed
• Can be assigned to multiple Control Points
Creating an Initial Set of Profiles
Complete the process of creating as many profiles as your Router users will require. While you can
always create additional Profiles or edit existing ones, you may want to systematically think through
your users’ needs to determine what the initial set of Profiles will be. This will simplify the overall
configuration process as you begin assigning Profiles to Control Points.
To Create a Profile
1. From the left navigation panel, click Profiles. The Profiles page displays.
2. Enter a profile name in the New Profile field.
3. Click Create. The new Profile is listed on the Profiles page.
4. Next to the newly created Profile, click Edit. The Edit Profile page displays. At the outset of creating
a new profile, all the available Sources and Destinations are presented.
5. Click and drag unassigned Sources and Destinations up to the assigned area as needed for this
specific profile. Note that you can rearrange the order as desired. Additionally, you can include
empty spaces to create groupings of Sources and Destinations by clicking and dragging a Space
icon up to be a source or destination.
6. When finished, click Save Changes in the upper left part of the screen, then click Done.
This newly created Profile is now available to assign to one or more Control Points.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 until you have as many Profiles as you need.
