VERIFYING SIGNAL ROUTING
STATUS (SWITCHES)
Verify the routing status of signals to confirm
that switches are executing properly.
You can verify signal status from the following:
ä
The Control Panel
ä
An external serial controller (computer,
AMX, Crestron, etc.) via BCS (Basic
Control Structure) commands
VERIFYING SIGNAL STATUS FROM THE
CONTROL PANEL
You can put the Control Panel in Status mode by
pressing the Status key. The Control Panel
remains in Status mode (with the Status key
illuminated) until you press the Cancel or Status
key. While in Status mode, you can select
different Levels, Sources, and Destinations at
any time without affecting signal routing.
To verify signal status using the Control
Panel:
1. Press the Status key to put the Control Panel
in Status mode.
The Status key illuminates and all other
lights on the Control Panel turn off.
2. Press a Level key to select a level.
The Level key illuminates. If you do not
select a level, the system uses the level
associated with the farthest left Level key
(default is audio and video).
3. Press a Source or Destination key to select a
source or destination.

If you pressed a Source key, that key
illuminates and the Destination keys
show the routing status of the signal. If
no Destination keys illuminate, the
signal is not routed or is not available
on that level.

If you pressed a Destination key, a
Source key illuminates, showing
which input source is currently routed
to that destination. If no Source key
illuminates, the signal is not routed or
is not available on that level.
4. Press the Status key or Cancel key to return
to Switch mode.
The Status, Source, and Destination keys
turn off, and the Control Panel returns to
Switch mode.
VERIFYING SIGNAL STATUS USING BCS
COMMANDS
You can use BCS commands with a device that
connects to the serial connector on the Precis
CPU.
To verify signal routing status, enter the
command using the following command line
format (where “#” represents any valid level,
source, or destination number).
SL#O#T or SL#I#T
To cancel an incomplete BCS command, enter
the “X” command at any time.
