Making Broadcast Routes

Follow these steps to broadcast control signals:
1 Ensure that the panel is in "source is master" mode. It is either in "source is master"
mode by default or you must press a 'Source is Master' button to activate the mode.
The mode is active when the 'Source is Master' button is high-tally.
2 Select a destination and preset a source. Then press 'Take' .
3 Press the 'Broadcast' button.
4 Select a destination and preset a source. Then press 'Take' .
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add other machines to the set of controlled devices.
 In MD mode, with hold mode active, you can select multiple broadcast destinations
with a single take.
Implicit in the 'Broadcast' button is the "source is master" mode. It is not necessary to press
'Source is Master' repeatedly. The reason you must press 'Source is Master' the first time is
that "broadcast mode" is not yet active.

Removing Broadcast Routes

To cancel a route, route the source to another destination normally.
To remove a destination from the set of broadcast destinations, route another source (e.g.,
the free source) to the destination.

Data Routing

There are 3 data routing options that affect sources and destinations that have a machine
control level (i.e., a data level). These options govern what happens when a source or
destination device is to be used.

Automatic Data Routing

A take involving a machine control level occurs naturally on all selected levels, including the
machine control level, regardless of whether an affected machine control port is in use. The
system breaks any existing control connections involved with the source and destination
and makes a new control connection for the source and destination.
This data routing option applies in both operating modes.

Manual Data Routing

If a control port for the source or destination is "in use, " a take involving a machine control
level occurs on all levels except the machine control level. You must break either the
source's control connection, the destination's control connection, or both of those existing
connections before you can take the source to the destination on the machine control level.
To break a connection, route a device (as a source) to itself (as a destination) on the
machine control level. When the connection is broken, the status column of the display
reads "FREE" for the machine control level (in X-Y mode). If your panel is in multi-destination
mode, you might switch to X-Y mode momentarily to see this.
When a take involving a machine control level is blocked on the control level, the display
displays the message "Control In Use. "
