Matrix Switching System User Manual187.0.2.1 RS-232 Main Operation InterfaceRefer to the main configuration screen as above, the marked blue area shows crossingmatrix of output ports 01-08 and input ports 01-08. For basic operation, see described asbelow:Examples for Selecting Matrix Switching Functions:Example: Now there is an HX-88 matrix having all the input/output ports properlyconnected to the equipment. If you want to set channel 1 input to channel 2, 3 and 4output; channel 3 inputs to channel 1 output. There are 2 ways to implement theswitching. Please follow the directions and steps to finish the switching functions:First way: Make sure you have selected “Video” check box ( ). Directly click onthe corresponding icons on the matrix to transform them into to complete theswitching operation.Second way:Step 1: Make sure you have selected “Video” check box ( ).Step 2: First select the “Output”number keys 02, 03 and 04 to the right of the blueconfiguration area, and select the “Input” number key 01 to the bottom.Then, press consecutively the previously selected “Output” number keys02, 03 and 04 (or you can press the “Deselect all output” key). This way,you have selected “Input” 01 and “Output” 02, 03 and 04 switching.Step 3: First select the “Output” number key 01 to the right of the blue configurationarea, and select the “Input” number key 03 to the bottom. Then, press thepreviously selected “Output” number key 01 (or you can press the“Deselect all output” key). This way, you have selected Input 03 andOutput 01 switching.Upon completion of the above 3 steps, you have actually completed the switchingoperation of having channel 1 input to channel 2, 3 and 4 ouput while at the same timesuccessfully switched from channel 3 input to channel 1 output.The main configuration screen also shows you some function buttons for easy operation:Disconnect: To disable the connections. After you had configured the connectionbetween input and output ports, you can click this button to disable the connections.Select all output: Click this button to select all output ports including output 01~08.Deselect all output: Click this button to cancel presently selected output ports. After youhad configured a connected combination, please click this button first for next settings.Disconnect all: To stop all the connections.Scan: To search the host controlled by the RS-232 Software Configuration.
