Global Variables

Global Variables

Switch settings are added and deleted through the ‘View Switch Settings’ action with initial values configured individually for each switch. Before making any switch setting changes, please consult your switch technician or CAIRS administrator. The initial switch type values must be configured in order for WOPR-ASI to communicate with the switch properly.
