Button icons

The numbered translucent covers on the input and output pushbuttons can be

removed and replaced to insert labels behind the covers.
Input and output labels can be created easily with Extron’s Button-Label Generator

software, which ships with every Extron matrix switcher. Each input and output

can be labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps

for easy and intuitive input and output selection (figure 3-2). See chapter 5,

“Matrix Software”, for details on using the labeling software. See Appendix B,

“Specifications, Part Numbers, and Accessories”, for blank labels and a procedure

for removing and replacing the translucent covers.

Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample

procedures for creating ties, changing a configuration, viewing configurations,

saving and recalling a preset, muting and unmuting outputs, viewing and adjusting

the audio level, viewing and adjusting the output volume, locking out the front

panel, performing one of several resets, toggling background illumination on and

off, and reading and setting the RS-232/RS-422 Remote port settings.

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. 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 3-41 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. The switcher

performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators red, green, and

amber and then turns them off. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves

all I/O and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination. The

lit/unlit status RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is the same as when

the switcher was powered off.
