To select a device for local control, press the desired
numbered port selection key. A port select LED will
illuminate and the display will be updated with the
label, timecode and transport status appropriate for
the attached device.
The selected device MUST be enabled for remote
control. If the device is set to operate locally from its
own control panel then the controller will not function
and the select LED will not light.
Once the controller has control of the device, the
REMOTE LED will illuminate. If the device is switched
into local, or the RS422 communications becomes
disconnected, the controller will sound several short
warning ‘bleeps’ and the REMOTE LED will go off.
