Be careful how you use hold time.
While it can save a show when
someone kicks the DMX cable out of the wall, it can have an
undesirable outcome if you shut down a console without running
down the grand master first, since the levels that were present
prior to shutdown will be maintained.

While setting the personality and global parameters, you will have
scrolled past several screens that look like this:
where x is a letter between A and H, referring to a DMX/RDM port
on the back of the Repeater. These are the Port Options
screens. Use the check-mark to select the desired port and the
up\down arrows to cycle through the four customization options.
Customization is done on a port-by-port basis and results are
dependent on the basic mode in effect.
Input (RDM): This is the factory setting. The port is patched to
the “DMX IN” port on the Repeater and is enabled to pass RDM
packets. In DMX Merger mode, this option re-enables RDM by
patching the port to the primary “DMX IN” port and disabling the
merge function. In Hub mode, the port is patched to “DMX IN”
and will ignore signal from any other port (effectively disabling it).
Disabled: In all modes, the port will ignore all signals.
Filter/Merge: In Repeater mode and DMX Hub mode, disables
RDM on the selected port. It has no effect in DMX Merge mode.
Hub A thru H: In Repeater mode, this option disables the port.
In DMX Merger mode, this option changes the selected port to a
DMX input. The DMX Repeater Pro will merge, on an HTP basis,
DMX from the selected port with the DMX signal arriving at “DMX
IN”. Although more than one port can be selected as a secondary
source, only one port at a time will be merged with the primary
