7.5 MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL (RS-232):

The feedback codes allow multiple MX2226AT Switchers to be connected in a Master-Slave configuration, if desired.

When the control port of two units are connected as shown below, the slave unit duplicates the actions of the master unit. The slave unit can still be controlled from its front panel or through another RS-232 control; however this configuration is used when multiple MX2226AT units must be controlled through a single RS-232 source.

7.6 LOOP CONTROL

In some applications, it may be necessary to switch a number of computer video sources to a single presentation display, requiring more inputs than are available from an individual switcher.

To create a larger switcher with more input, the output of the previous unit can be looped to another unit. To maintain the completeness and availability of the incoming video signal, no more than 3 units should be looped. Keep in mind that the Looping Configuration will eliminate one usable input for each looped unit. For example, if two 6-in 1-out switchers were looped together, there would be 11 usable inputs.

The loop control feature forces all looped units to select input 6 so that the incoming signal will automatically pass through. If input from switcher no. 1 is selected then input no. 6 is automatically selected on switcher no. 2, so that an incoming signal from the output of switcher no. 1 is passed to the output of switcher no. 2.
