5. Router configuration
5.1. Router level
Switch 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the
Triton - Router Control System, and other units in the NCB system. The panels on the NCB dedicated to
operate with the router must be configured to the same level as that router.
If several routers are combined to form an Audio Follow Video, RGB or similar system, these routers
must be configured to the same level.
The levels can be switched according to the following pattern:
- means switch down
* means switch up
Default level is 1.
Switch 1 2 3 4 Level
- - - - 1
- - - * 2
- - * - 3

5.2. Router orientation
There is always a bi-directional connection between an S-port and a D-port when a connection is made.
There is therefore an output on both the S-port and the D-port. A Status Request of the router will
normally (with DIP-SW 6 down) give the status of the Destinations ports from 1 to 32, i.e. which Source
ports D-1 through D-32 is connected to. This is called "Destination-oriented".
However, with DIP-SW 6 in the UP position, the router is "Source-oriented". A Status Request will then
produce the status of the Sources ports from 1 to 32, i.e. which Destination ports S-1 through S-32 is
connected to.
When using the "Destination-oriented" setup, the output buttons of a control panel will choose which
Destination to control, and the input buttons will choose which Source is to control that Destination.
