Source And Destination Buttons; Viewing Crosspoint State - Lightware MMX6x2-HT200 User Manual

5.3.3. Source and destination buttons

Normal I/O ports have dedicated buttons on the front panel. These buttons are labeled with
numbers and have a backlight to indicate active or selected ports. These are referred as
Source and Destination buttons.

5.3.4. Viewing crosspoint state

The user can check the current switching status on the front panel using front panel buttons.
This status view feature is slightly different in Take or Autotake mode because of different
switching philosophy of the two modes.
ATTENTION!
Status view occurs whenever the router has to be switched. After entering the view state,
the user can change the routing configuration. Viewing and switching can be done after
each other, or if nothing is pressed for three seconds, the router returns to idle state.
View current state in TAKE mode
If all source, destination and Take buttons are unlit (the unit is in Take mode, and no input
was selected in last three seconds), the user can verify both input and output connections.
View input connections
Press and release a source button. Now the selected source
button and all destination buttons will light up which are
currently connected to the selected source.
View output connections
Press and release a destination button. Now the source button
which is connected to the selected destination will light up. If
no source button is lighting, the selected destination is in muted
state.
ATTENTION!
This informative display will remain for three seconds and then all button lamps go out. In
TAKE mode, no accidental change can be done unless TAKE button is pressed.
View current state in AUTOTAKE mode
In Autotake mode, only states of destinations can be viewed.
Press and release the desired destination button. Now the
source button which is connected to the selected destination
will light up. If no source button is lighting, the selected
destination is muted or disconnected.
ATTENTION!
Muting or disconnecting an output cannot be done in AUTOTAKE mode.
INFO
If a source button is pressed in AUTOTAKE mode, it is immediately connected to the last
selected destination.
