Definitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:

An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties —

tied
to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)

sets of ties
.
Current configuration —
The
configuration
that is currently active in the
switcher (also called

Global memory preset —
A
configuration
that has been stored. Up to 32
global

front panel for either saving or retrieving. Preset numbers larger than 20 are
accessible via serial port or LAN port control.
Room —
A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as
determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10
rooms
, each of
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
Room memory preset —
A
configuration
consisting of outputs in a single
room
that has been stored. When a
room preset

becomes the
current configuration
