Front Panel Operation
When power is applied, the matrix switcher performs a diagnostics test. The front panel
buttons blink red, green, and amber before returning to the button background illumination
setting. If the test is successful, the
Video
and
Audio
button light. After the test, the most
recent configuration is loaded.
If an error occurs during the test, the matrix switcher locks all operation. If this occurs, call
the Extron S3 Sales and Technological Support Hotline (see the Extron
information).
NOTE:
By default, the matrix switcher is set in lock mode 2 (see
on page 34 for a detailed list of basic and advanced functions and the
procedure to set the various front panel locks).
