•
Reset switch is checked and if it is pressed then the
Software failsafe recovery procedure
is entered.
•
Routing matrix is initialized to Preset 0 state (defaults to source 1 connected to all destinations).

1.3 Front Panel Button Interface
The MSC-XD164L is equipped with a 16x4 button panel which provides one of several options for controlling
and viewing the status of the routing matrix.
This panel interface provides separate input and output buttons. One output button is active at a time, indicated
by it being lit. The current connection status for the active output is indicated by the relevant numbered input
button being lit. Pressing an input button will cause that input to be connected to the current active output.

Devices come factory configured with default settings, unless a pre-configuration request is made during
purchase, an example being a multi device application.
