Windows Buttons, Drop Boxes, and Trashcan

The buttons, drop boxes, and trash can on the right side of the program window perform the following functions:

Power — Unavailable for MTPX Plus Twisted Pair switchers, because the switcher power cannot be controlled via software.

Executive Mode — Allows you to lock out front panel operations, except for the view-only mode functions. Click the button to cycle between Lock mode 0 (the indicator is white), Lock mode 1 (the indicator displays red), and Lock mode 2 (orange).

NOTE: See “Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)”

in the “Operation” section for definitions of the Lock modes.

Room menu — Displays a list of up to 10 rooms. You can select a room from the list to display it in the window.

NOTE: A Room is a subset of outputs that are logically related to

each other, as determined by the operator. The MTPX Plus

switcher supports up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.

Presets menu — Displays a list of up to 32 global presets and up to 100 room presets. You can select a preset from the list to display it in the window and either activate it (Go) or delete it (Delete).

Go — Activates the selected preset as the current configuration.

Save as ... — Allows the current set of ties to be saved as a preset. Enter the preset number when prompted to do so.

Delete — Allows the current preset to be deleted.
