•
Errors:
Enables the logging of critical failures, such as the device failing to confirm
that a transition command was executed, or when communication is lost with the
router.
•
Warnings:
Enables the logging of other information reported by the router. The 1200
series routers do not provide such information to automation; so enabling Warnings
will have no effect on the system.
•
Crosspoint Changes:
Enables the logging of each transition with a timestamp from
when it occurred.
7. The
Log
tab contains configurations for Manual Intervention Logging. The 1200 series
routers do not report to automation when a crosspoint change has occurred manually or
by another controller, thus changing any of the options on the Log tab will have no effect
on the system.
8. On the
Backup
tab, select the router that is to be used as the redundant backup router,
or leave it set to None if there is not one. The router that is configured here will receive
all of the transition commands that are sent to the main device. For this reason the
Backup router must be wired identically to the Main. There are other methods for driving
a second switcher if this limitation cannot be accommodated.
9.
Cascade
is an advanced configuration used for triggering additional crosspoint changes
using a single event or command from the Transmission List. For more information on
Cascade, consult the ADC-100 user manual.
10. The
Wire
tab configures the driver to operate in Simplex or Full Duplex mode:
•
2 Wires
: The driver will ignore any input from the device and never report any comm.
errors. If RS-485 operation is attempted with multiple routers (not recommended),
this option must be used and the return lines from the switcher must be
disconnected. The Device Server hardware is not capable of negotiation on an RS-
485 bus.
•
4 Wires
: The driver will look for confirmation from the router that a transition has
occurred, and retry (twice) if there is no reply. If there is still no reply after three tries,
the driver will stop trying and report an error (if Warnings is selected on the Reporting
