(Only the available channels will show in the LCD display.)

Now test the switcher communications in reverse by pressing a channel switch on the slave and see that its system channel number appears in the LCD display. Again, use the table on page 4-1 as a reference.

Once the master/slave system is checked out, all of the available channels can be accessed and set up from the System 4xi front panel with Menus 1 and 2. The channel numbers will be as listed in the left column of the table on page 4-1.

_________ Resetting the system (described on page 3-7) will remove all slave channels

from memory. If that happens, Menu 5 must be used to reconfigure the system.
