Starting Up the Controller and Logging In and Out

Use the FPC to control the matrix as follows:

1.	Ensure that all BMEs that are part of the system have been connected to each
	other and their BME numbers have been set correctly (refer to the Matrix
	12800 Wideband, Sync, or Audio Switchers User’s Manual, part #68-556-01).
2.	If necessary, on the rear of the FPC, toggle the Power switch to the on (	)
	position. After approximately 2 minutes, the LCD touch panel displays the

FPC startup screen (figure 3-4). Observe the message **NOT Logged On** in the upper right corner of the blue field.
