When a Phoenix node is initially configured (or if Load Defaults is selected from the Node Menu), every input channel is mapped to the output channel of the same number (e.g. input channel 1 is mapped to output channel 1, etc) on both fiber ports (for SHR) or just fiber port A (for Linear).
IMPORTANT: In Linear mode, mappings on fiber ports A and B are independent. For example, you could map input channel 1 to output channel 7 on fiber port A, but then map input channel 1 to output channel 12 on fiber port B. This allows you to have a total of 32 channels enabled in a system simultaneously; 16 in one direction and 16 in the other. However, in
Main -> Local -> Video -> Output Mapping:

This screen allows you to select which optic port is being reviewed for each of the
16 video output channels. The number under the monitor icon indicates which output channel is selected. The letters under the camera icons indicate at which optic port the selected output channel will be looking. Arrows to the left and right of the monitor icon indicate that the mapping is enabled. If the output channel is not mapped to a fiber then the corresponding arrow is not shown. The status of the output video signal is depicted on the screen of the monitor icon. All channel mapping are saved when
you leave this menu.
•Blank: If there is no output mapping (i.e. neither fiber is selected) then a blank monitor icon is shown.
