Viewing the configuration

The current configuration (all active ties) can be viewed using the front panel buttons as follows:

1.

Select video, audio, or both to view by pressing the I/O button.

2.

Press and release an input or output button.

 

a.

Press and release an input button — All of the buttons for outputs that

 

 

are tied to the selected input light. If the Audio LED is flashing, it

 

 

indicates that there are audio-only ties (audio breakaway).

 

 

Allow the 5-second timeout to deselect the input buttons before you select an

 

 

 

 

output button. If an input button is still selected, the indications will not be as

 

 

described and you may inadvertently establish potential ties that could be

 

 

created by pressing the Enter button.

 

b.

Press and release an output button — The button for the tied input and

 

 

all of the buttons for outputs that are also tied to the same input light. If

 

 

the Audio LED is flashing, it indicates that there are audio-only ties

 

 

(audio breakaway).

 

 

To see all ties of the current configuration, press and release each input or

 

 

 

 

output button, one at a time, with the Video LED and the Audio LED lit.

3.

After approximately 5 seconds, the LEDs for the input and tied outputs go

 

out.

 

Example 4: View ties by selecting an input

The following steps show an example of viewing the video and audio, audio-only, and video-only ties in the current configuration by selecting an input. The example shows the front panel indications that result from your actions.

This example assumes that you have performed example 1, example 2, and example 3.
