Channel lists are of the form “ccnn” (single channel), “ccnn,ccnn” (two or more channels) or “ccnn:ccnn” (range of channels);where “cc” is the card number and “nn” is the channel number. For example, to access channel 2 on card number 1 specify 102.

The card number identifies a module within the Switchbox. The switch module with the lowest logical address is always card n umber 01. The switch module with the next successive logical address is card number 02 and so on.
