If a machine control (i.e., data) level is involved in a route, the
system makes the route on the control level even if the
control port is in use on the source or destination device. It
breaks the previous control connection and then makes a
new control connection for the route in progress.
If the control port is in use for the source or destination
device, the system takes all (selected) levels except control.
It does not perform the control level route.
If the control port is not in use, the control level take occurs
normally.
To carry out a take on a machine control port that is in use,
the operator must first free the port by performing a
"tristate" take on the port, that is, taking the device (as a
source) to itself (as a destination) on the control level.
An operator can determine whether the control level is free
by switching momentarily to X-Y mode and examining the
destination's levels.
A list of "name sets" appears in the drop-down menu. The
name sets can be defined under the System Management
pane of NV9000-SE Utilities. Choose 'System Name' in this
list if you do not want, or do not care about, device name
aliases.
Do not choose 'System Name' if you are configuring any
'Name Set Toggle' buttons.
The number of multi-destination entries you are allowing.
Make this value equal to or greater than the number of MD
devices you need. The default, and lowest value, is 8. The
maximum is 512.
(Elsewhere in the configuration, you will create a list of MD
devices. You can leave some MD destinations unassigned.)
