G.R.I.P. can control up to 16 levels of a switching system. The example above shows a 
routing switcher that has three layers, a 16 x 16 video level with two levels of 16x16 
audio. 
To add or remove a layer, click on the “Level Enabled/Disabled” Button. Select “Router 
Type,” from the drop down list. Enter the actual size of the routing switcher in the 
“Number of Destinations” and “Number of Sources” text boxes. A partially stuffed routing 
switcher should have the actual number of destinations and sources. For example, a 
64x64 Yosemite analog video routing switcher stuffed to 32 inputs and 32 outputs, “32” 
should be typed in each of the text boxes. 
A Partially stuffed Yosemite routing switcher or a mapped routing switcher can be setup 
and initialized using this window. Select the frame size and I/O type of each layer of your 
router. 
The routing switcher must be reset after a download for all the changes to take effect. 
Caution, if frame size and mapping information are changed, the routing switcher will 
make routing changes during a download, so do not download during facility operations. 
The router can be reset from the “Special Functions” menu. (See below). 
When this screen is completed;
“Save to Database” stores your settings in the GRIP database only.
“Send to Router” saves the information in the GRIP database and sends the information 
to the router’s processor. 
“Reset All” resets the GRIP database to the GRIP default settings (not the router’s 
default settings). 
Note:
The router must be reset to initiate the changes.
Click on “Router Reset” in the “Special Functions” menu and reset the router to initiate the 
changes in the router’s processor. The router can also be reset by turning power off and turning 
on again. 
Special Functions
Menu items include Sequoia Setup, PIK Software Upgrades, and a Router Reset 
function. 
Before making any changes in these screens, we advise you to call the factory for proper 
configuration settings.
