Definitions
The following Extron matrix switcher terms are used throughout this manual:
Tie — An
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs.
NOTE: An output can never be tied to more than one input.
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
All models have 32 presets. On the MTPX 128 Plus, which has fewer than 32 input and output buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel are still accessible under remote or Ethernet control.
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

•Lock mode 2 — Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only. Basic functions are unlocked.
NOTE: The switcher is shipped from the factory in Lock mode 2. See “Setting the
Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)” on page 59 for a detailed list of basic and advanced functions and the procedure to set the various front panel locks.
