Authorized inputs and authorized outputs

You can use the Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs drop boxes to narrow the number of inputs and outputs that are controllable from the MKP.

When creating ties from the front panel, if an input or output outside the available range for this MKP or the connected matrix switcher is selected, the LED display shows N-A.

Click the appropriate radio button to select the Unlocked or Locked to disable or enable the MKP control panel.

Date/Time Settings fields

The Date/Time Settings fields provide a location for viewing and setting the time functions.

If setting the time, set the local time. The Zone variable allows you to then enter the offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The Zone field identifies the standard time zone selected and displays the amount of time, in hours and minutes, that the local time varies from the GMT international time reference.

When daylight savings time is turned on, the switcher automatically updates its internal clock between Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time in the spring and fall on the date that the time change occurs in the United States of America, Brazil, or Europe (depending on the radio button selected). When Daylight Savings Time is turned off, the switcher does not adjust its time reference.

Port (RS-232) Settings Page

The Port Settings page (figure 5-4) allows you to configure the MKP’s two (Host and Switch) RS-232 ports. Access the Port Settings page by clicking the Configuration tab and then the Port Settings link on the left side of the System Settings page.
