Using Categories
This chapter outlines how to use an Ultritouch soft panel that includes Category Index and Group Category
elements to perform crosspoint switches on an Ultrix router.
Using Category/Index Mode
Category/Index mode allows alpha-numeric extensions to labels to “build up” the final label selection. Destination
and source names are split into substrings - the first substring is referred to as the category and the subsequent
substrings as the indexes. Once the Cat/Index categories are defined, the user can perform switches on the
Ultritouch based on the categories.
Before You Begin
Before you can load a soft panel with Category Index elements, you must first:
1. Assign categories within the Ultrix database.
2. Assign indexes within the Ultrix database.
3. Configure an Ultritouch soft panel to include a Category Index window.
For More Information on...
• on assigning categories and indexes, refer to the Ultrix User Guide.

assigned to the Source category.
A Category Index window is added to an Ultritouch PB soft panel during configuration as outlined in the section
