They are typically used where hardware control of audio routes is required in a fast-paced, live environment. These panels do not have any audio connections since they control the routing of network audio streams to other devices, typically Telos Alliance xNodes. Their only connection is a Livewire Ethernet connection, and no additional software is required to use them. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Router Control Panels Group Image.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T18%3A04%3A44Z&se=2026-11-07T19%3A04%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=xJo5uvWArexOS29rva3ylIH7reYMmplA0eTxWRHP2HM%3D) Film-cap controllers with LED-backlit keys can be illuminated with a choice of colors; keycaps are film-legendable for quick function identification.
