Viewing Crosspoint State - Lightware MX6x6DVI User Manual

3.2.3. Viewing crosspoint state

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 modes
because of different switching philosophy of the two modes.
Info 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 and destination buttons and TAKE button are unlit (the unit is in TAKE
mode, and no input was selected in last 3 seconds), user can verify both input and
output connections. This informative display will remain for 3 seconds, and then all
button lamps go out. In TAKE mode no accidental change can be done unless
TAKE button is pressed.
For viewing 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.
For viewing 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.
View current state in AUTOTAKE mode
In AUTOTAKE mode only states of destinations can be viewed.
Press and release the required 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. By pressing another destination button,
the state of that destination can be seen.
Info Be careful, as in AUTOTAKE mode if a source button is pressed, it is immediately
connected to the last selected destination.
