Understanding Ports

The images below show how different port types are displayed within the I/O patching screen.
FIGURE 2 - PORT TYPES AS VIEWED IN THE IO PATCHING WINDOW
Port groupings are always displayed within sortable tables under the following headings:
Numbers
The port number is a combination of the I/O box hardware ID (HID) and the port number within the box—See H2O user
guide for more detailed information. This is the port's native label and is generated directly from the I/O box itself.
Port labels
The port label can be either the user label, the port user label or the system label. See the port labels information box on
this page for more information.
Description
The network administrator can include a brief description of a port, if so, this will be included in the I/O patching screen
table. The description cells can be changed to display the connected source/destination if preferred.
Connected Source/Destination
The label of the source/destination that is connected to the port is displayed.
