RESET WITCHING
Preset mode allows you to pre-define sources for an all-levels or breakaway switch on the selected
destination, but not initiate the switch until you press the TAKE button. Preset is the active switching
mode of the panel when the PRESET button is illuminated. When Preset mode is active, use the
SOURCES buttons and LEVELS buttons to define sources you wish to route to the selected destination
when the preset switch is initiated.

ONTROL ANEL
In order for a PNet control panel to be functional, it must have Ethernet communication with the SSC3
device in the video router frame, it must be assigned a unique hardware panel ID entered through rotary
switches on the rear of the control panel, and it must be configured through Cattrax into the system
controller configuration file. There are several operating parameters we must define for each system
control panel as part of creating the configuration file. In addition to defining source and destination
groups, we also assign specific switching levels, source groups and destination groups to specific
pushbuttons on the PNet control panel through the creation of data key lists.
During control panel configuration a Status Level and Default Destination must be specified for each
panel:
•
Status Level – allows you to specify the switching level that the panel initially statuses by
default when a destination is selected, and no specific level has been selected through the levels
keys. This is also the switching level that the panel uses as the reference level when indicating
breakaway routing conditions.
•
Default Destination – defines the router destination for which the panel displays status when
initially powered-up or following a reset.
With panel configuration data entered, the configuration file with panel operating parameters must be
downloaded and become the active configuration file used by the system controller in order for the
panel to be functional.
The remainder of this chapter discusses system operation and panel configuration in terms of the local
P3232 control panel included with your Cougar3 system and the factory configuration file pre-installed
in the controller. The local control panel is factory preset to a hardware panel ID of 1. Refer to
Paragraphs 5.15.8 and 5.15.9 of this User Guide for information on configuring PNet panels with
Cattrax.

PNet control panels, with the exception of the P3232 panel, follow the pushbutton key layout shown by
Figure 4-1; Figure 4-2 illustrates layout of the P3232 panel. The function of each key is presented
below.
