Fiber Matrix 6400 Switcher • Operation 3-8
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 64 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 (Primary and Redundant)
to the AC source(s). The switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel
button indicators red, 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. If your switcher locks
up on power-up, call the Extron S 3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline. See the rear
cover of this manual for the phone number in your region of the world.
