Procedures in this paragraph discuss operation of the P3232 local control panel included with the
Cougar3 system. With the exception of the Source and Destination select keys, these procedures may be
applied to any PNet control panel.
PESA routers are destination oriented, meaning that switches are made by first selecting the destination
group and then selecting the signal channels, through source groups, that you wish to route to the
destination outputs. Default operation for a PNet panel on power-up or reset is All Levels and Hot Take.

ERFORMING A
To perform an all-levels switch, verify that none of the levels keys are illuminated; if any are lit, the
panel is operating in breakaway mode. Press any illuminated levels keys to toggle the breakaway
function off. AFV mode is active when no levels keys are lit.
To make switches on all switching levels of a selected input source to a selected output destination, in
audio-follow-video (AFV) mode, use the control panel diagram below as a quick reference guide and
perform the following steps:
•
Select Desired Output Destination:
Press the DESTINATION Select Key on the local control panel, the button will light.
Press the number key (1 – 32) corresponding to the Destination (destination group) you want to
select. When you select a destination, output ports defined through the destination group
assigned to the destination number key are selected; both the DEST key and the selected
number key should be lit.
•
Select Desired Input Source for Selected Destination:
Press the SOURCE Select Key on the local control panel, the source button will light and the
number key corresponding to the source selected for the status level of the panel, and currently
routed to the destination you selected in the previous step will also light. If the button is
blinking, this indicates the switching levels are currently in a breakaway condition and one or
more of the levels is switched to a source that is different from the source assigned to the status
level of the panel.
Press the number key (1 – 32) corresponding to the Source (source group) you want to route to
the destination selected in the previous step.
When you select a source key, input signals defined through the source group assigned to the
source number key through router configuration are selected as the individual sources routed to
the destination output ports on all switching levels defined for the source group. When a source
is selected, the pushbutton lights and the switch immediately occurs.
When you are switching in AFV mode, Levels buttons will not be lit.
