224 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Sixth Edition
How to set Route A
To switch the route between port A and another numbered port:
1 Use the Cursor key to highlight [Route A <->], then press Enter.
2 Use the Cursor key to enter the number of the port required.
If the Switch module incorporates independent routing, you cannot select a
numbered port assigned to port B.
3 Press [OK].
If the switch module has dependent routing, [Route B <->] is updated
automatically.
The [Edit] softkey is functionally equivalent to the Enter hardkey.
The [Menu] softkey allows you to assign a route for port A and port B in
turn.
