4. Operation
4.1.
Power
Connect the power cord to the router's IEC C14 standard power input connector. The router
is immediately powered ON when the power cord is connected to the AC source.
During the initial self-test and loading of the latest settings ,,Booting..." appears on the LCD
screen. After the self-test, the router reloads its last configuration and it is ready to use. In
case of hardware failure, an error message is displayed.
Info:
After switching ON, the router reloads the latest settings that were used before it was turned
off. The router has an internal emergency memory that stores all current settings and tie
configurations. This memory is independent from presets and invisible for the user. This
built-in feature helps the system to be ready immediately in case of power failure or
accidental power down.

Front panel operations
4.2.1. Signal layers
Video and audio signals are in different layers. It means video and audio signals can be
switched separately or together. For example the video signal of the first input and the
audio signal of the second input can be switched to the first output.
At least one layer is selected all the time. Therefore the currently selected layer buttons are
illuminated. To toggle between the layers' on and off state press the VIDEO and/or the
AUDIO signal layer buttons. If a layer was selected the button is light continuously. If only
one layer was selected and the associated button is pressed the layer will be deselected
and the other layer will be selected.
Before every operation which effects input and output signals (e.g. switching, muting,
locking, etc.) the desired layer should be selected.
4.2.2. TAKE / AUTOTAKE modes
The router has two different switching modes: TAKE and AUTOTAKE. If the TAKE / AUTO
button is unlit, TAKE mode is active. When the TAKE / AUTO button continuously lights
green, AUTOTAKE mode is selected.
Press and hold the TAKE / AUTO button for three seconds to toggle between TAKE and
AUTOTAKE modes.
TAKE mode allows the user to connect or disconnect multiple outputs to an input at once.
This mode is useful when time delay is not allowed between multiple switching. The
commands are only realized when the TAKE button is pressed. If no button is pressed for
two seconds, all preselected actions (which were not realized with the pressing TAKE) will
be ignored, and the router returns to its idle state.
AUTOTAKE mode is useful when immediate actions must be done or fast switching is
needed between sources on a particular destination. In this mode switching occurs
immediately upon pressing one of the input selector buttons.
4.2.3. CONTROL LOCK
Front panel button operations can be enabled or disabled using CONTROL LOCK button,
while RS-232 and Ethernet control is still enabled. If the button is not illuminated, front panel
button operations are enabled. If it illuminates red continuously, front panel operations are
inhibited (including LCD menu).
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 3 seconds to toggle the control lock state.
