These reports allow the Matrix Switchers Control Program to track the changes that occur in the switcher’s configuration and settings, whether commanded via the front panel, the either serial port, or the Ethernet port.

Master-Reset selection

Master reset clears all ties and presets, all audio or RS-232 mutes, resets all

I/O grouping, sets all input audio levels to unity gain (+0 dB), and sets all output volume levels to 100% (0 dB of attenuation).

NMaster reset does not reset the Internet protocol (IP) settings.
