Managed Button
The Managed button is used to put the network under control of a computer
for firmware updates, system monitoring, etc. Managed Mode can only be
engaged from the network’s Control Master.
When using a PC for firmware updates, etc., a Pro64 module cannot have
its RS‑232/422 or MIDI port assigned to a VDC when the PC is connected.
Deactivate these VDC assignments before entering Managed Mode.
Connecting a PC to the Control Master requires the use of the RS‑232 port for
communication. The RS‑232 baud rate DIP switches also need to be set to the
same rate as the computer application for data transfers.
