Defining the Audio/RS-232 Wire Pair

NOTE: The TP audio/RS-232 input wire pair configurations are protected when front

panel Lock mode 2 is selected. You can view the configurations in Lock mode 2

but you cannot adjust them from the front panel (see “Setting the Front

Panel Locks (Executive Modes)” on page 59).

You must configure the switcher for the appropriate audio/RS-232 input for each TP input. The audio/RS-232 settings for each TP input can be viewed and changed from the front panel.

1.Select Serial Port and Audio/RS-232 Input Configuration mode: Simultaneously press and hold all Control buttons (Enter, Preset, View, and Esc).
