3. OPERATION
3.1.
Connect the power cord to the router's IEC standard power input connector. The
router is immediately powered ON when the power cord is connected to the AC
source.
During the initial self-test and loading of the latest settings ,,Booting..." appears on
the LCD screen. After the self-test, the router reloads its last configuration and it is
ready to use. In case of hardware failure, an error message is displayed.
Info:
After switching ON, the router reloads the latest settings that were used before it
was turned off. The router has an internal emergency memory that stores all
current settings and tie 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 accidental power down.
3.2.
3.2.1. TAKE / AUTOTAKE modes
The router has two different switching modes: TAKE and AUTOTAKE. If the TAKE
button is unlit, TAKE mode is active. When the TAKE button continuously
illuminates green, AUTOTAKE mode is selected.
Press and hold the TAKE button for two seconds to change between TAKE and
AUTOTAKE modes.
TAKE mode allows the user to make multiple connections and deselections at
once. This mode is useful when time delay is not allowed during multiple switching.
After selecting the inputs and outputs, all of the switching actions occur at once.
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.
3.2.2. CONTROL LOCK
Front panel button operation can be enabled or disabled using CONTROL LOCK
button, while RS-232/422 control is still enabled. If the button is unlit, front panel
button operation is enabled. If it continuously illuminates red then front panel
operations are inhibited.
Press and release CONTROL LOCK button to toggle between the control lock
states.
