Port Viewers

Port Viewers enable you to visually monitor routing to and from a four-wire port, and also to assign entities to four-wires (sometimes known as XY routing). An entity can be a four-wire, panel, telephone, ident or monitor.

In Configure Canvas mode, you can create:

  • A pre-populated Port Viewer by dragging to the canvas one of the four-wires listed under the Configure Canvas > Directs.

    The target four-wire for the viewer cannot be changed.

  • An unpopulated (empty) Port Viewer by dragging to the canvas the Port Viewer icon from the palette > Other tab.

To populate the viewer, drag and drop a four-wire to the viewer in Assignment mode. The target four-wire for the viewer can be changed for any other four-wire.

For more information about creating Port Viewers, see Configure Canvas Mode.

The Port Viewer displays:

  • The conferences of which the monitored four-wire is a member.

  • All the ports (panels, four-wires, idents, monitors and key groups) the monitored four-wire is connected to.

The connections list of the Port Viewer is automatically updated whenever a port is assigned to (or removed from) a conference of which the monitored four-wire is a member.

To connect an additional port (such as a panel, four-wire, ident, monitor or key group) to the monitored four-wire, drag and drop the item into the Port Viewer.

The new port is displayed in the connections list for the Port Viewer, and a new talk and listen crosspoint is created between the new port and the monitored four-wire.

The matrices are updated by Dynam-EC with the new configuration.

You can copy, move, or exclusively assign panels, four-wires, idents, monitors or key groups to a Port Viewer. For more information about making assignments, see Assignment Mode.

You can assign an alias label to a Port Viewer in exactly the same way as conferences. For more information, see Alias Mode.
