Step 1.

destination button and the actually connected source button
light up green. If no source is connected (the output is muted)

will be executed immediately. Switching between sources to
the selected destination can be done directly.

Output Lock
ATTENTION!
However, the front panel buttons allow to lock only the
output ports, the input ports can also be locked by using Lightware
Device Controller software (see
section) or sending LW3 protocol command (see
section).
Using Lightware routers it is possible to lock a destination. This feature
prevents an accidental switching to the locked destination in case of an
important signal. Locking a destination means that no input selection
or muting action can be executed on that particular destination.
Destinations can be independently locked or unlocked. Locking a
destination does not affect other destinations.
