Creating a Route

Creating a route connects a source signal to a destination output on your router hardware.

Taking a route

1. Open the routing panel — Navigate to Routing in the sidebar.

2. Select a source — Click a source button (green, top section). The selected source highlights.

3. Select a destination — Click a destination button (orange, bottom section).

4. Route executes — Birch sends the command to the router. The status appears as “Pending” and updates to “Complete” once the router confirms.

Source, destination, done.

Changing an existing route

To change what’s routed to a destination, select a new source and click the destination again. The new route replaces the previous one — there’s no need to clear the old route first.

Note

Creating a route to a destination that already has an active route will replace it. The previous source is disconnected from that destination as the new route takes effect.
