The "Append to current patch" setting allows you to append the copied patch data to the existing patch data for the gateway you are editing.

• With this setting enabled (checked) the copied patch data will be appended to the existing patch data, delimited with a comma (for example the patch data would be represented as such 1/25, 2/55). 1/25 being the existing patch data and 2/55 being the copied and appended patch data.

• With this setting null (not checked) the current patch will be cleared and replaced with the result of the copied patch data.

Selecting the [1 to 1 Patch] button displays the "One-to-One Patch" dialog for setting a one-to-one patch for this DMX universe.

Selecting the [Range Patch] button provides properties to set sequential address patches over a specified address range including the starting address and range length.

1. Specify an "ACN Universe Number" which will be patched (the allowable range is 1 to 63999) to the DMX addresses.
2. Specify an "ACN Universe Address" which will set the starting address within the selected ACN universe to be patched.
3. Specify an "DMX Start Address" to set the first DMX address the range patch will be applied.
4. Specify the "Range Length" to set how many DMX addresses will be affected (up to 512 address) or specify the "DMX End Address" to set the last DMX address to be affected by the patch. Completing the data for either one of these settings will populate the other with the correct data.

The "Append to current patch" setting allows you to append this patch data to the existing advanced input patch data you are editing.

• With this setting enabled (checked) the new patch data will be appended to the existing patch data, delimited with a comma (for example the patch data would be represented as such 1/25, 2/55). 1/25 being the existing patch data and 2/55 being the new appended range patch data.
• With this setting null (not checked) the current patch will be cleared and replaced with the result of this range patch action.

Selecting the [Clear Range] button displays a "Clear Patch Table Range" dialog. From this dialog you can specify the "Start Address" and the "End Address" that you want cleared from the advanced input patch table.

Selecting [Clear Patch] immediately clears the entire advanced input patch for this port.
