3. Operation
3.1. Powering on
Connect the power cord to the power supply unit‟s IEC standard AC power input
connector. The unit can be switched ON/OFF with a rocker switch. When it is on,
the switch illuminates, and the fan operates.
Connect the router to the power supply with the supplied DC power cable. The
router itself does not have a power switch, it remains powered on until the power
supply unit is on.
After powered on, the unit performs a self test, and then all front panel buttons light
up for one second. After the self test the CPU live LED starts blinking, the router
reloads its last configuration and it is ready to use.
Info
At switching ON, the router reloads the latest settings which were used before it
was turning off. The unit has an internal emergency memory which stores all
current settings, and ties 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 accidentally powering down.
3.2. Front panel operations
3.2.1. CONTROL LOCK
Front panel button operations can be enabled or disabled using CONTROL LOCK
button, while RS-232 / RS-422 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.
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 3 seconds to toggle the control
lock state.
3.2.2. 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 button for three seconds to toggle between TAKE and
AUTOTAKE modes.
TAKE mode allows the user to make multiple connections and disconnections 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.
