Category Selection

Your panel has 10 fixed category buttons and perhaps other optional category buttons. The
fixed category buttons are arranged like a telephone keypad:
Although their position is fixed, their functions are not.
Every category button can represent up to three items: a source category, a destination
category, and a suffix. By pressing category buttons in succession, you can construct a
device name.
A category button selects a source category immediately after you place the panel in
source mode by pressing a 'Source Mode' button (or a 'Src/Dst' button).
A category button selects a destination category immediately after you place the panel in
destination mode by pressing a 'Destination Mode' button (or a 'Src/Dst' button).
After you select a category, the category name appears as the first part of a device name
you are building. The category buttons you press subsequently select suffixes which are
appended to the device name you have built so far. As you continue to append suffixes, the
category buttons that no longer apply to the name you are building become disabled. In
fact, at some point all the category buttons might become disabled.
Suffixes may be numeric or alphanumeric, and up to 4 characters in length. Any device may
have up to 8 suffixes. However, device mnemonics are limited to 8 characters. Therefore, the
usual — and default — suffixes are just the numerals 0–9.
