to send changes to the control card.
The ‘Level’, ‘Physical Inputs’, ‘Controller Inputs’, ‘Physical Outputs’ and ‘Controller Output’
fields are greyed-out. All partition information is copied from the master router to the slave
router. In addition, all crosspoint information is copied to each slave router to ensure synchroni-
zation of all connected frames. Crosspoint information displays in the ‘Connections’ window.
(See
Managing Inputs and Outputs on page 87.)
9 Repeat steps 2 through 8 for each control card on all slave routers.
Updating Partitions
Partitions can be updated at any time. However, changing partition parameters may have a direct
impact on how signals are switched. Before implementing any changes, it is recommended that the
new partitions be verified through the router control system.
If updating routers that are connected together, changes are made to the master router only, which
then automatically copies changes to all connected slave routers. (See
Multiple Frames on page
56.)
