Front panel security lockouts

In the procedural descriptions that follow, it is assumed that the switcher is in Lock

mode 0 (fully unlocked). The following two Lock modes are also available:

Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting

Lock

mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.

Lock mode 2 — Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only. Basic

functions are unlocked.

N

The switcher is shipped from the factory in

Lock mode 2.

See “Setting the front panel locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-36 for a detailed list

of basic and advanced functions and the procedure to set the various front panel

locks.

Power

Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. When AC power is

applied, the switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel LEDs and then

turns them off. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves the RGBHV LED

and the Audio LED on, and all other LEDs unlit.
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 does not operate.

If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S
