input source. If multiple ports are customized, the active port will
be selected using the same rules as DMX Hub mode.
In DMX Hub mode, selecting a port forces the DMX Repeater Pro
to switch signal sources, but only if DMX is active at the new port
and it has a higher letter (e.g. C is higher than D).
For example, the primary console is plugged into Port A, but has
crashed. The DMX Repeater Pro has automatically switched to
the back-up console in Port B. Once the primary console is up
again, if you go to the Port A options screen and reselect “Hub A
thru H” (hit the check-mark so it flashes, then again to accept),
the Repeater Pro will switch control back to Port A – without
having to unplug any cables or cycle power on the back-up
console.
However, this technique will not work to force the Repeater to
switch to the back-up signal on Port B as long as there is active
signal coming from the primary console on Port A.

The DMX Repeater Pro supplies comprehensive information on
the DMX signal path and status, through the “DMX Monitor and
Console” and through the start-up display screens.
The DMX Monitor and Console screen provides two essential
tools for troubleshooting signal problems. From the start-up
displays, press Home, then the up\down arrows to reach “DMX
Monitor and Console”. Press the check-mark to select. The LCD
screen will look similar to this:
The DMX Monitor provides approximations of the DMX levels for
channels 1 to 8 on the upper line and for channels 9 to 16 on the
lower. In this example channels 1 and 9 are on at about 100%,
channels 3 and 4 are at about 50%, channels 2 and 11 are off,
and so on. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through all 512
channels.
