Definitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the
switcher (also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to
32 (FOX 4G Matrix 3200) or 64 (FOX 4G Matrix 7200) global memory
presets can be stored in memory. When a preset is retrieved from memory,
it becomes the current configuration. Presets can be saved and recalled
from the front panel and any of the serial or LAN ports. For front panel
operations, preset locations are assigned to the input buttons.
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as
determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room
that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current configuration.
Power
Apply power by connecting one or both power cords between the Primary and
Redundant AC power connectors and the AC source(s). The switcher performs
a self-test that flashes the front panel button amber, green, red, and amber, and
then turns them either off or to background illumination. An error-free power up
self-test sequence leaves all control buttons either unlit or showing background
illumination.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When
power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets
remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and fails to respond
to commands or button pushes. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the
Extron S
Sales & Technical Support Hotline. See the rear cover of this manual for
