Switch Operations Menu

Set Switch Positions

View the currently set position and change the position of a

switch who’s ID has been configured to the matrix. Use the

arrows to change switch and position numbers.

Refer to Appendix B to set the RF switches in the correct

desired positions.

Current Positions

View the currently set positions of all switches whose ID’s have

been configured to the matrix. This screen can show a

maximum of 12 switches at a time; press UP or DOWN to view

the next set of a maximum of 12. Note: the presentation of

switch positions is a “one way” experience in that the operator

can only view successively greater ID’s. BACK will bring the

Operator back to the Switching Menu.

Remember that a switch position reported as 255 (0xFF) is

meant to mean “position unknown”, and is often the result of a

switch not responding to a query for position.

Note that all Dow-Key switches have “open” defined but not all

switch types have an actual open position (the switch is not

closed to any of its RF ports).

For most switches this “open” is the default position and is

defined as position 0. But for transfer switches there is no

“open” condition, hence the default position is pos.1. As a result

of this, commanding the switch to pos 0 or pos 1 will have the

same result, closing it to its default position 1.

Switching History

View the last 10 switching actions. The latest action is

presented first.

Save Positions

Save to non-volatile memory the state of the positions of all

switch ID’s configured to the matrix, as 1 through 30.
