Use of Multiple Control Units
When you control the routing switcher using the
control unit, the number of controllable sources and
destinations can be expanded by using multiple BKS-
R1607/R1608/R3209/R3210 in combination. One
switching system can have up to ten sets of multiple
control units, and in one set, up to 253 control units
can be used. The total number of control units used in
ten sets within one switching system is also 253.
When using multiple control units in combination, one
is set as the mother unit and the others as daughters on
the control terminal. In one combination, only one
unit can be used as the mother unit.
For details on setting a unit as the mother unit or a
daughter unit, refer to the installation manual supplied with
the routing switcher.

Route Function
When you use a switcher B having no cascade function
such as a DVS-7000 and expand the number of sources
by connecting another switcher A, the source name of
switcher B is displayed as a selected source, and not
the source name selected on the switcher A. To
display the actually selected source name, you must set
the route function with the control terminal. Then
when you select the crosspoint set on the route
function, the source on the switcher A is searched for
and the name is displayed. For example, when a
crosspoint is swithced on the switcher A in the figure
below, normally IN5 appears as the source name. If
the route function has been set, the source name
selected on switcher A appears.
To activate the route function, set the destination of
switcher A, destination and source of switcher B, and
level. In case of the figure below, set "OUT1 :OUT2
<IN5 1."
When you use the route function, switching is possible
with simple setting. For example, if you select a
source (IN1) for a destination (OUT1) on switcher A,
the crosspoint on switcher B (IN5-OUT 2) is
automatically switched.
On the other hand, when you select a source (IN1) for
a destination (OUT2) on switcher A, you have to set a
phantom including IN1-OUT1 and IN5-OUT2
previously. Then IN1-OUT2 is displayed if the route
has been set.
For details on setting the route function, refer to the
installation manual supplied with the routing switcher.
