7.1 BACK PANEL MANUAL CONTROL
Two switches (F1 and F2) are provided in the center of the back panel as shown below. During installation or troubleshooting these switches provide a simple manner of controlling the module from the back of the rack.
Figure 3: Back Panel control switches
SELECT INPUT: With the F1 switch, the desired input is selected by pressing the switch until the LED of the selected input is lit. As F1 is repeatedly pressed, the switcher scrolls through each of the inputs and the corresponding LED is lit.
SELECT OUTPUT: With the F2 switch, the desired output is selected by pressing the switch until the LED of the selected output is lit. As F2 is repeatedly pressed, the switcher scrolls through each of the outputs and the corresponding LED is lit.
CONNECT INPUT to OUTPUT: To connect the selected input to the selected output, simply hold either F1 or F2 for 2 seconds until you hear a beeping sound. This operation can be repeated, as many times as needed, until all desired inputs are connected to all desired outputs.
DISABLE SELECTED OUTPUT: Press F1 until all input LED'sare OFF. This occurs when the input positioned between input 16 and input 1 is selected. Select the output that you want to disable and hold F1 or F2 for approximately 2
seconds until you hear a beeping sound and release the button. This will disable the selected output.
RESET SELECTED CHANNELS: Press the F1
&F2 switches simultaneously and release them quickly to reset the connection of the selected input & output.
RESET TO DEFAULT: To reset the unit to its default status
INITIALIZE MATRIX SIZE AND OFFSET TO FACTORY DEFAULT: To initialize the matrix size and offset of the switcher to the factory default, a POWER ON function must be used through switch F2. First turn OFF the unit. Then while pressing down the F2 switch, turn the power ON for the unit. Wait until several beeps are heard and then release the F2 switch. This step will initialize the matrix size to 16x16 and the offset for both input & output to 0.
This step will not clear the memory or disconnect the inputs and outputs. This procedure is used for resetting the switcher to factory matrix and offset default condition and should not be part of the program to operate the switcher.
INITIALIZE MEMORY & BAUD RATE TO FACTORY DEFAULT: To initialize the connection memory and communication baud rate, a POWER ON function must be used through switch F1. To initialize the unit without changing the size and offset; first turn the unit OFF. Then while holding down the F1 switch, turn the unit back ON. Wait until several beeps are heard before releasing the F1 switch. This step will disconnect all inputs from outputs, clear all memories and set the baud rate to 2400 for
This procedure is used to initialize the switcher and should not be part of the normal program to operate the switcher.
