7. In the case of a Redundancy Control device, select the appropriate main level and backup

The Frame ID in the physical level configuration is the frame address that is set by the
DIP switches on the router frame. The Physical Level ID is the internal identifier of the frame
and should be unique within each physical router. If it's not unique, then you will get an
error message when you try to save the changes. The Matrix ID is an optional entry for a
Probel router.
The Physical Router definition is now complete.
Adding Aliases for your Physical Input Ports
Aliases are names assigned to input and destination ports. Aliases are useful when trying to
remember specific ports on different routers or devices, or on different physical levels, that
have identical port numbers. For example, input port 1 on Router 1 can be assigned the alias
router1on1 and input port 1 on Router 2 can be assigned the alias router2on1 so that each port
can be easily distinquished.
Notes
• If you have several 16 × 2 frames configured to work together then you have
to add only one frame and select an appropriate frame type on the Edit
Physical Level window. For example, if you have three 16 × 2 video frames
configured to make a 48 × 2 router then you should select a Network Video
48 × 2 frame type.
• When the tab is opened, data boxes will appear in which the name, Frame
Type, Frame ID and Physical Level ID can be entered, and two charts (tab-
accessed) will appear below in which the Sources and Destinations can be
identified and labeled.. These should conform to the actual physical
connections made to the router being controlled.
