The first line of the table can be read: Segreg-1 is compatible with type2, type3 and type4. Note that: ●

a signal with an empty separation code can be routed on all the network segments

●

a segment with an empty segregation allows all the signals routing

●

●

a signal with the same separation code as a segment can be routed on this segment (even with no compatibility table) the separation code of the V4 bundle segments (BNS) can only be modified in CATIA V4 (E3 MAN AGE/ MAN AGE/ Ele m e n t )
