Q: How can I turn on and off crosslinks between ports?

In version 3.3.1 and newer versions of the firmware, there are new Path Enable/Disable Software Switches.  With these new switches, macros can very simply enable and disable paths.

Here's the macros to enable and disable Port 1 to Port 2:

; 6120*, Port 2 Control: Disable Crosslink
MPW 20 6120 DD 63 0142 0 *              ; Path RX2-TX1 Disabled (enabled, default)
MPW 29 6120 DD 63 0241 0 *              ; Path RX1-TX2 Disabled (enabled, default)

; 6121*, Port 2 Control: Enable Crosslink
MPW 20 6121 DD 63 0142 1 *              ; Path RX2-TX1 Enabled  (enabled, default)
MPW 29 6121 DD 63 0241 1 *              ; Path RX1-TX2 Enabled  (enabled, default)
Here's the macros to enable and disable Port 1 to Port 3:
; 6130*, Port 3 Control: Disable Crosslink
MPW 20 6130 DD 63 0143 0 *              ; Path RX3-TX1 Disabled (enabled, default)
MPW 29 6130 DD 63 0341 0 *              ; Path RX1-TX3 Disabled (enabled, default)

; 6131*, Port 3 Control: Enable Crosslink
MPW 20 6131 DD 63 0143 1 *              ; Path RX3-TX1 Enabled  (enabled, default)
MPW 29 6131 DD 63 0341 1 *              ; Path RX1-TX3 Enabled  (enabled, default)
Here's the macros to enable and disable Port 2 to Port 3:
; 6230*, Port 3 Control: Disable Crosslink
MPW 20 6230 DD 63 0243 0 *              ; Path RX3-TX2 Disabled (enabled, default)
MPW 29 6230 DD 63 0342 0 *              ; Path RX2-TX3 Disabled (enabled, default)

; 6231*, Port 3 Control: Enable Crosslink
MPW 20 6231 DD 63 0243 1 *              ; Path RX3-TX2 Enabled (enabled, default)
MPW 29 6231 DD 63 0342 1 *              ; Path RX2-TX3 Enabled (enabled, default)
You can change the macro names as you like.  Note that these macros use the Macro-Only Password.  You'll need to turn on that feature with the following command:
; Enable/Disable Macro-Only Password Decoding
MPW 63 0004 1 *                         ; Enabled (disabled, default)
