5.7 Setting the Dipswitches
This section describes the machine set-up and dipswitch selection.
By default, all the
VP-1201
dipswitches are set to OFF. Figure 27 and Table
8 describe the
VP-1201
unit dipswitches, which consist of two sets, each
numbered 1 to 8, respectively.

1 A configuration may be built with several groups of cascaded machines. To do this, set the machine addresses accordingly
for each group, and set all the machines in a group with the same MACHINE #. For example, a system with a 24 input
switcher and 36 input switcher would consist of two switchers with machine # 1, and three switchers with machine # 2.
Machine # 1 would consist of a unit with MACHINE ADDRESS 1 and a unit with MACHINE ADDRESS 2. Machine # 2
would consist of units with MACHINE ADDRESSES 1, 2 and 3
