Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs settings
You can use the Authorized Inputs and Authorized Outputs
drop boxes to narrow the number of inputs and outputs that are
controllable from the MKP.
Front Panel Configuration Lock settings
Select the radio button for the executive mode that locks or
unlocks the MKP front panel. The available modes are:
Administrator — All front panel controls are unlocked.
User — Limited front panel control is enabled (input and output
selection, preset selection, and volume control). Panel
configuration and IP and switcher addressing are not
available.
Panel Locked — All front panel controls are locked and
unavailable.
This is the same function as the front panel security lock
described in chapter 3, “Local Operation.” The front
panel can also be locked/unlocked via SIS commands,
discussed in chapter 4, “SIS
™ Operation.”
Switching method radio buttons
In this section, select the desired radio button to specify the
mode in which the MKP 3000 will create input/output ties.
• Matrix mode (the default) — In matrix mode, you specify
an input and one or more outputs to be tied to it.
• Input-only mode — In input-only mode, you select one
output, then specify an input to be tied to it.
You can also change the tie mode using the front panel
controls. See “Changing the tie mode,” in chapter 3,
“Local Operation.”
Save/restore configuration buttons
Click the Save Configuration to File button to save the
MKP 3000’s current settings to a configuration file (.cfg
extension) on your computer.
Click the Restore Configuration from File button to load a
saved configuration file to the MKP, implementing the settings
that were stored in that file.
See “Saving and Restoring a Configuration,” later in this
chapter, for these procedures.

Host Control Port settings
If Primary – RS-232 has been selected in the MKP Connection
Priority section, select one of the following radio buttons to
specify how the Host RS-232 port will function:
• MKP 3000 — Commands received on the Host RS-232
port are executed by the MKP.
• Pass Through — Commands received on the Host RS-232
port are forwarded to the connected switcher via the
Switch RS-232 port.
If either Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP or IP
Connection to Switcher
was selected in the MKP Connection
Priority section, the Host Control Port Settings selections are
grayed out and unavailable.
Switcher Size settings
The MKP cannot determine the matrix size of the switcher to
which it is connected. You must use the Switcher Size drop
boxes to specify the number of inputs and outputs.
If the switcher size is not set, the default size is 16 x 16, and the
input and output sizes range from 1 to 128.
When you have set the size of the connected switcher’s
input/output matrix, the LED display shows
N - A if you
attempt to tie to an input or output outside the available
range for this MKP or the connected matrix switcher,
from the front panel.
Switcher IP settings/Primary MKP settings
Depending on the connection type selected in the MKP
Connection Priority section, you can enter an IP address and
password (if one was assigned) for the switcher or the MKP.
The address and password are required for the MKP and the
matrix switcher to communicate via their RJ-45 LAN
connections. The default IP address value is 000.000.000.000.
• Primary – RS-232 Connection to Switcher — The IP
address fields are unavailable.
• Secondary – IP Connection to Primary MKP — Enter the
IP address and/or password for the MKP that is directly
controlling the switcher (via IP or RS-232).
• IP Connection to Switcher — Enter the IP address and/or
the password for the switcher.
