Link Switches
Link switches determine how inputs are routed to outputs.
When an input's Link switch is OFF (set to the down posi-
tion), the input is only routed to its corresponding output, for
example, Input 1 routed to Output 1.
When a Link switch is ON (set to the up position), the input is
routed to its corresponding output and also to the next adja-
cent output, for example, Input 1 routed to Output 1 and
Output 2.
If multiple adjacent Link switches are ON, the input is routed
to each adjacent output. For example, when Link switches 1
and 2 are ON, Input 1 is routed to Outputs 1–3.
Link Switches
NOTE: Inputs are inactive when the Link switch
for the preceding input is enabled. Connec-
tions should not be made to inactive inputs.
Link Switch Routing Examples
The following examples illustrate several common routing
applications for the Link switches.
Routing One Input to Eight Outputs
To route one input to eight channel outputs:
■ Set all Link switches to ON.
Link 1 Link 2 Link 3
On On On
Out 1 Out 2 Out 3
In 1 In 1 In 2 In 3
Link 4 Link 5 Link 6
On On On
Out 4 Out 5 Out 6 Out 7
In 4 In 5 In 6 In 7
Routing Two Inputs to Four Outputs Each
To route two inputs to four channel outputs each:
■ Set the Link 4 switch to OFF and all other Link switches
to ON.
Link 1 Link 2
On On
Out 1 Out 2
In 1 In 1 In 2 In 2
Routing Eight Inputs to Eight Separate Outputs
To route eight inputs to eight separate channel outputs:
■ Set all Link switches to OFF.
Link 1 Link 2
Off Off
Out 1 Out 2
Link 7
On
Out 8
