The 5 port types are variations of “controlled” or “controlling”:
Controlling or Controlled
These port settings fix the direction of the router port to “controlling” or “controlled.” The port’s
connection for Tx and Rx
— made during configuration — is static and does not change during
operation.
Dynamic
A dynamic port can be a controlling or controlled port depending on whether it is connected to
a master port or slave port. The port’s configuration is dynamic and can change during
operation.
Dynamic ports are typically assigned to VTRs.
Master or Slave
Any dynamic port connected to a “master” port will be changed to a controlled port. A “slave”
port is the opposite of a “master” port: any dynamic port connected to a slave port will be
changed to a controlling port.
The compact router applies logic to the port direction setting when a master port is connected
to a dynamic port. In this case, the machine at the dynamic port is always controlled and the
machine at the master port is always controlling.
Configuration
Configuring the ports of a machine control router requires CRSC.
The Control Panels
Control panels are optional if you have an automation system.
