The down pointing arrow will indicate the port that is configured 
as the Tally port or the port that the ES-SloMo listens to for 
Timecode and Status responses.   
 
As with the Enable function, to enable a port on the Gangway for 
Tally, make sure that the Tally LED is illuminated then, key in the 
2 digit entry on the numeric keypad for the port.  For example, to 
select Port 9 for Tally, press 0, 9.  The display will be similar to the 
screen shot below. 

 

 

To remove the Gangway16 configuration pages, simply press the 
Enable button.  This will cause the display to revert to normal 
operation.
