If it is an invalid or disallowedoperation then “Invalid” will be displayed on the reply key. If it is valid, thenthe label for the entity will be displayed on the reply key and the key labelswhich it can be assigned to will flash. The rack will determine if the entity isassignable by looking in the entity table to see if the “Protect Port fromAssignment” bit has been set and if the talk and listen bits are cleared. Alsothe Sort groups will be checked to see if the user panel is allowed to assign theentity.Whether the key assigned has its talk or listen bits set will be determined bythe default settings on the port set in ECS.
