CHAPTER 4: Operation

NOTES

1.  Unless  you  press  a  key  on  the  keypad,  the  LCD displays  the  current
status:

OUTPUT: ## ## ##

.

2.  If  a  valid  key  is  pressed,  the  LCD displays  the  keypad  entry  for  two

seconds.  If  the  next  valid  key  is  not  pressed  within  this  time  duration,

the  LCD  switches  back  to  displaying  the  current  status.  However,  the

previously  entered  information  is  not  lost.  The  switch  will  save  the

current  partial  valid  keypad  entry  for  30  seconds.  If  more  than  30

seconds have elapsed since a valid key was pressed, the switch erases

the partial entry from memory. As a result, you must start all over again.

3.  The 

key  also  functions  as  a  clear  key.  When  the 

key  is

pressed, the partial entry is erased from memory and the LCD is cleared

for  two  seconds.  However,  if  the 

key  is  pressed  while  the  entry

memory  is  blank,  the  LCD will  display 

I n

,  meaning  that  it’s  the

beginning of a new valid entry.

4. Error messages are displayed for only two seconds.

5. If an invalid key is pressed, the LCD displays 

FORMAT ERROR

and the

partial entry is erased from memory. Format Error is a syntax error that

occurs when the user deviates from the two valid keypad entry formats

(

#

#

or 

#

##

).  Either  the  entry  sequence  is

wrong  or  the  numbers  are  out  of  range.  It  can  also  occur  for  invalid

mode selection.

6. Only one input can be connected to each output. If you try to connect

an  input  to  an  output  that  is  already  taken,  the  LCD  displays 

OUTPUT

TAKEN

and  ignores  the  request.  The  only  valid  output  that  all  three

inputs  can  share  is 

0

,  the  disconnect  state.  Entering 

0

or 

00

as  the

output number for any of the three inputs disconnects the input.

7.  The  Autosensing  ISDN Matrix  Switch  is  safeguarded  to  ensure  no

disruption  of  video  transmission.  Data  Lock  eliminates  any  chance  of

call  disconnection  by  “locking”  active  lines  so  that  no  command  can

interrupt  current  calls.  If  you  try  to  disconnect  or  re-route  an  input  on

which a call is in progress, the LCD displays 

LINE BUSY

and disregards

the  request.  In  addition,  if  a  particular  line  is  busy,  the  LCD  displays  a

star  in  front  of  the  corresponding  output  when  showing  the  current

status.  The  line  busy  status  indicator  on  the  LCD  is  updated  every  two

seconds.
