conflict with any other RCA equipment in the system, then the rotary switch can be moved to relieve the conflict.
In the Toggle mode, each press of a button will cause the Luma to change from "A" to "B" in a circular fashion.
Available rotary switch positions are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Messages from Video Switchers:
When ever SW receives an RS232 command, it will respond with a message. If the SW changes position it will respond as in
the two following examples:
If a redundant command is sent, i.e. "change to position (A) when the switch is already in that position, or the rotary switch
on the front of the unit is set to a different SW ID number, then the Luma will send an error message, i.e.
In all cases, when the Luma responds it will tell you what SW ID is currently set to be, and whether it is in the "A" or "B"
position.
