XBar Controller Overview
Switches can be executed and disconnected on the Octaire by using the XBar, a graphic interface control panel. The XBar controls specific parts of the system through routing levels. For example, the XBar may switch
An APWeb server provides access to a single Octaire system from a specific IP address and can be accessed from up to five PCs at the same time. If you are controlling the same system as other users, you can open the VM Selection Pad and update status as needed (see page 91). The VM Selection Pad is also used to change routing levels. Keep in mind that executing switches on one routing level may affect the routing state on the other routing levels.
Note: Contact your Network Administrator if you need to change the name of the site.
