Status And Tally Functions; Destination Status; Source Status - PESA Cougar 3 User Manual

•
Protect/Lock Key – Selects and indicates lock status of currently selected destination. If the
key is not illuminated, the destination is available for switching. A momentary key press places
the active destination in "Protect" mode, whereby the protected destination can still be switched
by the panel which originally placed the destination in "Protect" mode, but is "Locked" to all
other panels and Users. When the Protect/Lock key is unlit, pressing and holding the key for
approx. 2 seconds causes the active destination to enter "Lock" mode (Lock/Protect Key
Blinking). If the Protect/Lock key is blinking, the selected destination is "Locked" for all users
and can not be switched to a different source by any panel or other user without first unlocking
the selected destination. Pressing the Lock key causes the lock state to toggle for the active
destination.

TATUS AND ALLY
All active PNet panel pushbuttons are backlit for ease of viewing in low-light environments. In order to
be active on the panel, source, destination and level keys must be defined through the data key list
assigned to the panel configuration. Any pushbuttons that are not defined are not backlit, thus providing
a visual display of pushbutton status for the current panel configuration. Currently selected pushbuttons
illuminate brightly and provide a visual indication of the status and operating mode of the channel or
panel. Visual status and tally functions are discussed in the following paragraphs:
4.9.1 D
ESTINATION
Indicates the currently selected destination group either as a direct readout on the Destination keys, or
on the number keys when the Dest. Pushbutton is selected (P3232 Only). Any destination button that is
not backlit indicates there is no destination group defined for the button.
4.9.2 S S
OURCE TATUS
Indicates the currently selected source group routed to the selected destination group, either as a direct
readout on the Source keys, or on the number keys when the Source Pushbutton is selected (P3232
