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 RF switches in different 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 30 switches at a time. 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 “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.
