Access to Router input configuration functions.
Access to Router output configuration functions.

Allows the selection of one of the four available DVA messages. Once the
specific DVA has been selected, the following sub-menus are presented: 'Gain',
'Pri', 'Name', and 'Class'.
Enables a fallback local audio source to be defined for each Audio Control Unit
DVA and Music input, and for local inputs. The fallback audio source is used if
the original audio source is unavailable for any reason.
Default value: 'Not-Conf'

Where: nn=1 to 8
'OUTPUT nn' is the default name for a Mic/Line input. It may vary according to
the local configuration.
Allows the user to select a contact, and define its use as one of:
• Not-Conf
• Routing
• External Fault
Allows each output to have an input associated with it to which it is permanently
routed. Normally used to route background music at low priority to desired areas.
The outputs in question are the outputs of the Slave Units on the network. The
inputs may be either one of the Audio Control Unit audio sources (NETWORK
IP), or the Slave Unit (LOCAL IP) audio sources.
Permanent routes will cease to operate if power failure should occur and
the system has to run on battery backup. For this reason it is recommended
that permanent routes are only used for background music or other non-
safety critical operation.
Configures units on the RS485 bus. The user selects a remote unit by multi-drop
address, and defines the type as one of:
•
Not Configured
•
Expand I/O (also known as Remote I/O)
•
Fire loop interface unit
Enables user to suppress or enable the fault sounder during announcements
from the fire microphone.
Possible values: 'Enabled' or 'Suppressed'
Default value: Enabled
When VAR8 is networked, the fault sounder is automatically suppressed.
