Turning a Downstream Key On and Off

If in page 1 of the setup menu you have set F3(PORTS) to “PVE-500” or “GPI” then you can turn a downstream key on and off using a GPI signal input to the T2 connector on the DFS-700/700P.

As shown below, the downstream key is turned alternately on and off at the falling edge of the GPI signal.
