Stand-Alone Network Characteristics
In a stand-alone router network, control panels have the following characteristics:
• The meaning of buttons is fixed and the mapping of buttons to I/O connectors is fixed:
SRC button N corresponds to source N. Source N comprises inputs N on all routers in the
stand-alone network.
DST button N corresponds to destination N. Destination N comprises outputs N on all routers
in the stand-alone network.
• Source buttons are illuminated in green (high- or low-tally) and labeled ‘Source’. Destination
buttons are illuminated in amber (high- or low-tally) and labeled ‘Dest’.

Characteristics of Panels in CRSC Systems
In a CRSC system, control panels have the following characteristics:
• The meaning of buttons is configurable. The mapping of buttons to I/O connectors is config-
urable. Any button except the two lock buttons can be configured as source, destination,
level selection, or salvo button.
• That a button is green or amber has no particular meaning. The labels ‘Source’ and ‘Dest’
and the numbers identifying the buttons have no particular meaning, although you can use
the numbers to guide your hand to the button you want to press.
Under CRSC, source buttons and level buttons can turn red to indicate breakaway.
Characteristics Common to Both Systems
Control panels have the following common characteristics:
• Each button has a clear plastic cap that can be easily removed to accommodate customer-
defined button legends.
• Panel Lock, Destination Lock buttons (at the top right).
The Panel Lock button is normally low-tally green. It turns bright red when the panel is
locked.
The Destination Lock button is normally low-tally amber. It turns bright red when a selected
destination is locked (unless none of the destination’s levels are selected).
• Two LEDs indicate whether the power supplies of the router or remote panel module on
which the control panel is mounted are connected and functioning.
