Deleting a Component - To delete a component, locate the nickname of the component you
wish to delete in the Components box and click on the name to select it. Click "Delete" at the
bottom of the box.
•
Nickname – The assigned Nickname is a label (up to 8 characters) associated with the
component and is the character string displayed in the Component Nick Name listing area. In
order to assign the component a nickname, click the cursor in the Nickname field and enter the
nickname label text.
Once nickname text is assigned to a component, the nickname character string is displayed as a
sub-entry in the Components box. Any time you wish to return to the set-up screen for a
particular component, click on the nickname sub-entry under the Components Nick Name
header.
•
Name - The Name field is where a longer, more descriptive name is defined for the component.
Generally, when assigning names and nicknames, the NAME field is a more precise description
of the defined component and the NICKNAME field is a shortened acronym or mnemonic.
•
IP Address - Enter the IP address of the router frame in which the component sources reside.
•
Level Name - Level Name is a pull-down menu list containing the nickname of the levels
defined for the system. Highlight and select the level name from the list to which the component
being defined is a subset. You must have already created the level you want to use before you
can select the name in this field.
•
Input and Output Offset - Offset defines the numerical difference between the physical input
or output number and the level input or output number for a given source or destination.
•
Component Type - Component Type is a pull-down menu list containing the types of hardware
devices controlled by the SSC3 controller in the Cougar3 application from the following
options:
DRS – Identifies that the component you are configuring is tied to a switching level routed
-
through the DRS audio frame of the Cougar3 system.
COUGAR – Identifies that the component you are configuring is tied to a switching level
-
routed through the Cougar3 video frame.
•
Description - Description is a free text field where you can enter a full description of the
switching component or add notes or information as desired. This field is solely for
discretionary use and has no effect on the defined component characteristics.

Click the Sources entry under the Configuration Menu Tree to access the Source Configuration
Screen, Figure 5-24. This screen allows you to define source groups in the router configuration. Note
the Sources Screen is in the form of a database spreadsheet with data entries for each source group
made on individual rows from left to right. Each source group is assigned a name, and the physical
inputs to the router you wish to associate with the source group are assigned by switching level. In
router terminology, this screen essentially maps each physical source (input) to the router to its logical
input by switching level and source group nomenclature. Individual physical inputs to the Cougar3
router may be assigned to multiple source groups.
