TECH TIPS
FlexPort Override Button
The override button on a FlexPort front panel is used to switch designated SF-16M outputs to a FlexPort input. When
the override button is pressed, it triggers a programmable override event (
see setup utility
). A typical application would
be an audio mixer, connected to an FPM-X in a conference room. Normally background music is playing from a source
connected to the SF-16M. When the override button is pressed, designated outputs switch from background music to
the audio mixer for the duration of the override. When the override button is pressed again, (in Toggle mode) all affected
outputs switch back to the background music source. When two FlexPort transmitters share a single bus, they must be set
to operate independently, or to mix their signals, as shown in the example below.
Override behavior is based on two key settings:
Example: Mix Option Enabled
In some cases it may be desired to mix together
inputs from two FlexPort transmitters when both
audio overrides are active. An example would be a
conference room where both a microphone and an
audio presentation should be heard simultaneously.
• Set one FlexPort as “Mono 1”, and set the other as
“Mono 2”.
• Turn on the “Mix” dipswitch on one of the
transmitters, so that the SF-16M will mix the
channels together for all outputs in the system.
• In the setup utility, designate outputs for overrides
(e.g. 17 and 18).

In this example, a microphone is connected to an FPM-X transmitter, and DVD player audio outputs are
connected to an FPM-U transmitter. Both FlexPort transmitters are on the same Cat 5 bus run. Both transmitters have the
Override switch on and one transmitter has the Mix switch on. When the override switch is active on the Mix transmitter,
the audio from both transmitters is mixed by the SF-16M for output to all speakers in the conference room.
NOTE: In this case, the overrides for both transmitters (17 and 18) are programmed to perform the same action,
so the override may be triggered or cancelled from either transmitter.
