Extron electronic 68-1383-01 REV. E manual Definitions, Power, Front Panel Security Lockouts

Definitions

The following Extron matrix switcher terms are used throughout this manual:

Tie — An input-to-output connection

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.

Power

Apply power by connecting the power cord between the switcher and an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators red, green, and amber and then turns them off. An error-free power-up self-test sequence leaves all input, output, and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination and the Video button and the Audio button lit.

The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline. See the end of this guide for the phone number in your region of the world.

Front Panel Security Lockouts

In the procedural descriptions that follow, it is assumed that the switcher is in Lock mode 0 (fully unlocked). The following two Lock modes are also available:

•Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting Lock mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.

•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.
