Configuring Routers
Router Levels Page
A new row appears in the table (unless the table is already at its maximum size).
3 If you are updating a level, locate its table row.
4 In the ‘Signal Type’ entry for that row, select a signal type from the drop-down list. You must
do this before setting other parameters. The signal type determines the range of values for
the physical inputs and outputs. The signal type options vary according to the router type.
5 Enter the remaining parameters for the level. Click in a cell to activate the editable field:
6 Repeat steps 1–5 for other levels.
7 Click Update Control Card to send the level information to the control card.
8 Each control card must be configured separately and all control cards in the router must
have the same level settings.
Repeat this procedure for each control card in the router frame.
Or, copy the control card’s configuration to the remaining control card(s) in the router. See
Copy Settings Page on page 78.
9 Each control card in the router must be configured separately and identically.
Either repeat this procedure for each control card in the router . . .
Or, finish making all changes to the control card and then copy its configuration to the
remaining control card(s) in the router. See
Copy Settings Page on page 78.
Deleting Levels
You can delete levels at any time, but be careful. Heed the following warning:

Physical Input End
Controller Source Start The logical port number in the router control system that maps to the
physical input starting number.
Controller Source End The logical port number in the router control system that maps to the
physical input ending number. This number is calculated. You cannot
change it.

The levels defined in MRC must match the levels defined in your router control system.
If you change or delete a level in MRC, you must make a corresponding change in the
router control system.
