Router Tools
The pages in MRC’s ‘Router Tools’ section allow you to perform router management tasks after
configuration is complete. Using these pages, you can test crosspoint switching, create cross-
point salvos, view system logs, and view system and module statuses and alarms.
These are the ‘Router Tools’ pages:
• Crosspoints
• Logs
• System Status
• Module Status.
Each page handles a specific set of post-configuration tasks:
