Change Switch Configuration

The switch configuration option lets you control whether the HyperCaster will acknowledge or ignore a
manual switch (a switch using the buttons on the switch faceplate). To change the switch
configuration click on the configuration option.

To enable the HyperCaster to acknowledge a manual (faceplate) switch, select On from the drop-down

list. When the server detects a manual switch, it will ignore
programmed switch events until the operator returns the
switch to its home path manually.

To prevent the HyperCaster from acknowledging a manual
(faceplate) switch, select Off from the drop-down list. The
server will then ignore manual (faceplate) switches.

Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen. To return to the Config page without making any
changes, click on the Config tab.

Lock the Switch

When manual detection of switch action is on and the operator wants the switch to hold the same path
regardless of what events have been scheduled, the operator locks the switch. There are two ways to
lock the switch.

With the switch away from the home port, go to the Switch section of the Dashboard and click on Lock
for the output port you want to lock.
