How to connect A/B Switches to 2 AG's (16 antennas to 2 radios configuration)

Hi all,

I have 2 AG's (so 2x 8x2AG) and want to connect them to my Flex-6600 for being able to switch between 16 antennas. I have configured both the AG's as mentioned in the manual.
I also have 2 A/B-switches and 1 SSC-OM-Module ( the OM Module is [u]connected to the Master AG[/u] with the supplied serial cable).

The manual doesn't explain however how to connect both of the A/B switches in order to use the 16 antenna ports by the 2 radio ports.

Questions:
- do I need to select '2xAG with OM control' in the AG configuration for what I'm trying to do? I assume yes, because if I do select this in the configuration and then select any of the Antenna ports (1-16), than the matching port number output on the SSC OM Module will also be selected. So if Radio 1 port uses AG port 1 and Radio 2 port uses AG port 10, then the SSC Output 1 and Output 10 LED (actually it's port 2 output 2 LED) on the SSC OM Module will be on.

But does this mean that I connect each of the 6 outputs of Port 2A to one of the A/B switch and each of the 6 Port 2B outputs to the other A/B switch (so run 6 wires in parallel to each of the A/B switches)?

Obviously I don't need to connect Port 1A and Port 1B to any of the A/B swithes since the A/B switch is N/C to Out A, so I only need to tell the A/B switches if they need to route the RF signal to the second AG.

I can see the logic here, but just want to check if I'm not shorting anything and damaging the SSC OM since I'd be running port SSC-OM outputs in parallel to the A/B switch.

Any tips / confirmation?
Thanks in advance!
