Output Source Routing
This section lets you select the audio source for each hardware output pair on the interface.
The Router has four columns of drop down menus: These columns (from left to right) represent the Analog Outputs, the first set of ADAT Outputs, the second set of ADAT outputs, and finally the the coaxial S/PDIF output.
To use the Router, first locate the pair of hardware outputs to which you’d like to send audio. Next, click the downward arrow to open the

Active Input Ports
These checkboxes determine which groups of hardware inputs are currently active on the interface. If a box is checked, its corresponding inputs are active; if a box is left unchecked, the corresponding ports are not active and the audio software will not receive any signal from this input until it is made active again. Be sure to deactivate any ports that are not being used as this will reduce the demands placed on the FireWire bus and decrease
the amount of system resources used by ProFire 2626. Deactivated inputs and outputs will be
Note that at least one group of inputs must be active; the Control Panel will not allow you to disable any more than three of the four available check boxes.
Windows users: Note that inputs and outputs will always appear in your audio software, regardless of how these checkboxes are set. However, signals associated with deactivated ports will not be received by the software.
NOTE: Audio signals received at disabled input ports are not transmitted to the computer through the FireWire cable. However, signals present at the hardware inputs are always audible through the DSP Mixer/Router even if its corresponding ports have been disabled in the Router. Furthermore, the interface can still receive digital clocking information through the S/PDIF or ADAT ports even if they have been disabled from this menu.
