Both tables have the following four columns: Slot idx, Slot Name, Slot Type and Network ID. You can set the slot type and the NID of the six rows, which each represent a slot, in the Slot Table. The slot type can either be 'No Slot' or 'LE-2 legaliser'. The NID has a range from 0 to 255.

The slots with slot type 'LE-2 legaliser' will be displayed in the Configured Slot Table together with a fifth column, Export DVE. This column contains the virtual element IDs.
