Purpose
The Number Entry controls are designed to allow the dispatcher to set routes using a numeric keypad. The advantage is that commonly set routes can be set very quickly without having to press any buttons on the panel itself. Additionally, the Number Entry system has the ability to save and recall numbers like a pocket calculator, further reducing time needed to set a route.
In addition to setting routes, switches, signals, tracks and level crossings can be manipulated also.
