4.2 Connecting Switches
A switch is an active connection between an input (source) signal and one or more output (display) devices. The
signals connected in a switch command are either individual signals or groups of signals coming through the
connectors on the rear of the unit.
The “C” key initiates a Connect command for routing a switch. The characters and numbers that follow the “C”
command tell the system, which inputs and outputs to connect. The last character “!” is found at the end of a
command code which tells the system to execute the command. For example, the
command code *255CI01O01! ↵
can be interpreted as follows: (*) Starting the command code (255) Router ID is 255 (C) Create connection on
(I01) Input 01 to (O01) Output 01 (!) take the command. For a complete list of command characters and their
functions, see page 21.
