Ignore Out Of Range Inputs
The Ignore Out of Range Inputs option will ignore switches on an offset router that has been configured to the same
level as another connected router. By default, the Ignore Out of Range Inputs option is not active (the check box is
not checked).
The Ignore Out of Range Inputs option is only available on the NK-64 and NK-72 routers and is only used for
specific installations.
The Partition Levels table allows users to configure levels to
each partition. Selecting a level, by clicking on a radio button
in the Level Mask column, assigns that level to a partition
number from the Part. Num. column.
Levels can be assigned more than once to different or distinct
partitions, but only one level can be selected for each partition.
