PESA Cougar 3 User Manual page 83

Let's look at an example. Suppose you assign a panel a requestor code of 201 and a lock
priority of 2, and assume we issue a protect function to a destination through this panel.
Since it is the originating panel, it may continue to switch the destination, but other panels
in the system may not switch that destination unless the panel attempting to make the switch
also has a requestor code of 201 and lock priority of 2, or unless it has a lock priority of 1 or
0, regardless of its requestor code.
Now suppose this same panel issues a lock function to a destination. The lock could only be
cleared by the originating panel or by a panel with a higher lock priority. A panel with a
lock priority of zero (0) can override any protect function or clear any lock function.
Description –The Description column is a free text field where you can enter a description
-

Status Level – Status Level is the default switching level displayed or controlled by the
panel. To assign or edit the Status Level click in the cell and change the level selection
from the pull-down menu.
Status Method – The pull-down menu in this cell should always be set to Level in the
Cougar3 system application.
Data Key List – This entry determines the function of the configurable panel keys by

down menu associated with the cell. Only data key lists which are valid for the panel
type are included in the pull-down menu.
Default Destination – This entry assigns the default destination to the panel. In
operation, the default destination determines which destination is displayed and
