Routing Racks Automatically
SuperRack can automatically route input and output I/O channels to each rack in a session. Routing
begins at the first rack, which will be patched to the first available I/O device channel. Patching
continues until all racks in the session are routed or all I/O channels have been assigned.
If a SuperRack system has more than one I/O device assigned, the order of the devices in the
Inventory determines the sequence in which I/O channels will patch to the racks. When the first I/O
has routed all of its channels, patching continues with the next device.
I/O channels are patched into existing rack configurations, so you need to set the number of input
and output channels before you start the auto-route routine.
1. Select a SuperRack template that loads the desired framework, void of patches—just the rack
structure. If you don’t have a template that matches your needs, follow these steps to create an
auto-route template:
a. Create a session with the desired rack input/output configuration and number of tracks.
If your hardware I/O devices are not assigned in your SuperRack Inventory, use offline
devices to build a framework. Make sure that your plugins have components that will
support a rack’s configuration.
b. Once you’ve routed I/O channels to provide the framework you want, select “None” in
the input and output drop-down menus.
c. Save the session as a template.
d. Load the template.
2. Click Auto Route to patch the session automatically.
If you want to create a blank session in which all racks are mono-in and mono-out, select “New” in the
Sessions page of the Show window.
