Chapter 2 Introduction

2.1 G

ENERAL DESCRIPTION

PESA’s Smart 32 is a pushbutton remote control panel for PESA routing installations featuring 32 programmable, multi-color LCD pushbutton switches, a status monitor display screen and full Ethernet network connectivity.

Smart 32 supports direct take switching, AFV or breakaway switching on all 17 switching levels supported by the PERC3000 controller, and destination lock/protect functions.

The panel provides up to 16 pages of key configurations for a total panel capacity of 512 programmable pushbuttons, each of which may be configured for virtually any data key or control key function. Key labels on the pushbuttons are dynamically changed when pages or configurations are changed, and each pushbutton is dynamically color-keyed to identify its assigned function, by type, on the currently selected page.

In addition to the pushbuttons, a two line display screen provides real-time status readout and other panel parameter display functions.

An illustration of the Smart 32 panel is shown by Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1. Smart 32 Control Panel (Front View)

Smart 32 panels communicate with the PERC3000 System Controller over an Ethernet network using standard Cat5 cable and RJ45 connectors, either through a closed-loop Ethernet configuration or with full integration into the facility network. Each panel provides an internal 2-port Ethernet switch that allows network cables to be daisy-chained to other panels.

Before a Smart 32 panel can communicate with the system controller or control any part of the router system, it must be configured for integration with the system and added to the controller configuration file loaded in the system controller. Configuration and set-up is done using Cattrax, PESA’s software control application installed on a Windows® based “host” computer. Complete instructions for installing and operating Cattrax are provided in documentation for the application.

Refer to the PESA Remote Control Panel Configuration Paragraph of the PERC3000 User Guide (PESA Document 81905907160) for complete instructions for creating or editing a controller configuration file, including adding a Smart 32 or other PESA control panel.

UTTONS

Smart 32 provides 32 pushbutton switches, referred to as keys, on the front panel, each of which contains an independent, multi-color LCD display device that is capable of both text and graphics display. Displayed information is referred to as the button’s label, and is programmed for each router resource or function through the Button Images page of PESA’s Cattrax software control application. The Smart 32 panel allows up to 16 panel key pages, each of which can be entirely unique or can share key assignments with other pages.

For maximum versatility, each key on each page can be assigned to select a source, destination, salvo, or switching level; as well as any available router control or panel pagination function. Pages may contain any mixture of any button assignment types, and all labels are dynamically updated as different pages are selected, or as the system configuration is changed.

Pushbutton background colors are assigned using a system-wide default color scheme to instantly identify each key by function type on any Smart 32 or Touch 72 panel on the network. The factory default color scheme may be modified on a system wide basis through the Cattrax software control application. Backlight intensity is assigned a system default value, but can be altered locally on each individual panel to address varying lighting environments. Pushbutton switches work in conjunction with the status display screen to provide a powerful, intuitive user interface. Page selection keys can be assigned to allow the user to jump directly from the displayed page to a new page in a single keystroke. Page names are user programmable and can be configured for maximum flexibility and versatility.

TATUS DISPLAY SCREEN AND CONTROLS

PESA’s Smart 32 panel includes a backlit monitor screen that, during normal panel operation, provides continuous, real-time status display of destination, source, level and pagination information, as shown by Figure 2-2. When the Panel Info function is selected, this device displays current operating parameters for the Smart 32 panel and provides controls that allow adjustment of pushbutton backlight intensity and display brightness and contrast.

Smart 32 control panels provide the following capabilities:

• All-level, audio-follow-video (AFV) switching

• Breakaway switching on up to 17 switching levels allowing video only, audio only and complex

multi-level breakaways

• Destination protect and lock features

• Key function assignments and labels for system resources configurable through Cattrax

2.4 C

In PESA router family architecture, the core control system components are:

Cheetah video router frames are equipped with a frame controller module called the Matrix Frame Controller that communicates with the PERC3000 system controller over an Ethernet network. When a DRS audio router is included in the routing system, the PERC1000 Frame Controller used in each DRS DXE frame also communicates via Ethernet with the PERC3000 controller. Ethernet connectivity allows command and control functions over a facility network, reduces cabling requirements and allows efficient communications between all system components.

Many PESA router products such as the Jaguar, Ocelot and Cougar, and some third party protocol converter devices, communicate with the system controller through a PESA proprietary serial bus protocol called the PESA Routing Control Bus, or simply the PRC bus.

Typical PESA routing installations include a variety of remote control panels that allow users control access to the switch matrix. In PESA system architecture, remote control panels communicate with the system controller through either an Ethernet port or a proprietary serial bus protocol called the PESA Remote Control Panel bus, or simply the RCP bus. Remote panels using the RCP bus, such as the suite of Cheetah RCP panels, can communicate with the PERC3000 controller using the optionally available RCP Panel Server peripheral. Ethernet panels such as the Smart 32 can communicate directly with the PERC3000 controller.

ONTROLLER SYSTEM COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

• System controller hardware/software,

• Individual frame controllers contained in each router frame,

• Host PC to run the control software,

• Remote control panels, such as the Smart 32, or

• Third party controller interface as needed for an individual installation.

Regardless of size or number of system components, or number of frame controllers, PESA router installations typically function under a single system controller to coordinate and oversee operation of the entire system. The PERC3000 system controller is capable of supervising multiple frame controllers allowing control of the entire system by a common set of control devices. Figure 2-3 illustrates a typical PERC3000 controller installation using a mix of PRC-based devices, Ethernet control devices and remote control panels using the PESA RCP control bus.

Chapter 3 Installation

3.1 G

ENERAL

Up to 256 total remote control panels may be used with the PERC3000 System Controller. This may include any combination of Ethernet-based panels, RCP Panel Servers, or Cheetah RCP control panels. Smart 32 panels communicate over an Ethernet connection with the controller and may be located convenient to operator stations or control areas.

The Smart 32 Control Panel mounts in a standard 19" equipment rack and occupies one rack unit of space (1.75"). An installation area should be selected where the ambient temperature will not exceed 40°C, and where air can circulate freely. The control panel should be mounted in an area convenient to power and network Ethernet connections. Sufficient space must be provided behind the equipment rack to allow for network and power cables.

Power for the Smart 32 panel is derived from an external power supply module supplied with the panel. While the order in which you complete the installation steps is not critical, for ease of access PESA

recommends that you set the Panel ID address prior to mounting the panel in an equipment rack.

Before a Smart 32 panel can communicate with the system controller, receive its assigned IP address, or control any part of the router system, it must be configured for integration with the system and added to the controller configuration file loaded in the system controller. Configuration and set-up is done using Cattrax, PESA’s software control application installed on a Windows® based “host” computer. Complete instructions for installing and operating Cattrax are provided in documentation for the application.

Proprietary Information of PESA 3-1

MART 32 PANEL IP ADDRESS AND ID SETTING

Each Smart 32 panel must be assigned a unique IP address for network communication, and a unique Panel ID address must be set through the three rotary switches on the rear of each panel. In order for a Smart 32 panel to operate, the Panel ID set on the rear panel rotary switches and the Panel ID number entered during Cattrax panel configuration must match.

Remember that each Smart 32 panel must be uniquely configured through Cattrax and the controller configuration file loaded into the PERC3000 system controller before the panel can actually make switches on the router. During the Cattrax panel configuration process the network IP address for the panel and the unique Panel ID number are entered on the panel configuration page. In order for the panel to be recognized and activated, the configuration data must be loaded into the system controller.

3.3 S

Smart 32 Remote Control Panel User Guide

Publication 81-9059-0727-0, Rev. A

April 2014

When a Smart 32 panel is connected to the Ethernet network, it sends a multicast message which includes its Panel ID number. A system controller receives the multicast message and checks to see if the Panel ID in the multicast message is in its controller configuration file. If the Panel ID in the multicast message is found in the configuration, then the system controller sends a multicast message, which includes the Panel ID, IP for the panel, Netmask, and Gateway. The Smart 32 panel receives the multicast message from the System Controller and verifies the Panel ID. If the Panel ID is correct, the panel checks its network parameters (IP, Netmask, and Gateway) with those contained in the received multicast message. If any network parameter is different, then the panel updates itself using the values found in the received multicast message. Note that he Smart 32 will not allow a zero to be configured for the IP, Netmask, or Gateway.

If at any time you wish to change the IP address of a Smart 32 panel, change the address data through the Cattrax panel configuration pages and re-load the controller configuration file.

MART 32 CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION

• Locate Smart 32 panel in desired area for installation and ensure a connection point to the

facility Ethernet and a source of power are both available.

• Using a small screwdriver, set desired Panel ID address on the three rotary switches on the rear

panel as shown by Figure 3-1. Every Smart 32 panel must be assigned a unique panel ID address. You may use any series of numbers in the range 001 – 999. Panel ID is a required parameter for control panel configuration as discussed in Paragraph 3.2 of this User Guide.

Figure 3-1 Smart 32 Control Panel (Rear View)

• The connector labeled Factory Only is not used for panel installation and should be left open.

• Install a Cat5 Ethernet cable between either rear panel Ethernet Port (1 or 2) and an Ethernet

hub or switch, or directly to any available facility Ethernet interface drop.

Every Smart 32 panel has a 2 port Ethernet switch built-in. You may use the open connector as a connection point for another device. Often, this feature is used to daisy-chain Smart 32 panels. Be aware, however, that if the directly connected panel is removed or loses power, the downstream device will also lose connection to the Ethernet.

• Connect supplied 12VDC power supply to a source of AC power and attach the output

connector of the supply to its rear panel mating plug as shown by Figure 3-1.

• Mount Smart 32 Remote Control Panel in an equipment rack or other desired location.

• Add panel to controller configuration file in accordance with Chapter 5 of the PERC3000 User

Guide, Rev D. A Smart 32 panel will not communicate with system controller or operate the router until it is added to the controller configuration.

• If you are changing the IP address of a panel already on the network, you MUST restart the

Smart 32 panel after the controller configuration file is uploaded.

In order for a Smart 32 control panel to be functional, the following conditions must be met:

• It must have Ethernet communication with the PERC3000 System Controller device.

• It must be assigned a unique hardware panel ID entered through rotary switches on the rear of

the control panel.

• It must be assigned a unique IP Address on the Ethernet network.

• It must be configured through Cattrax into the system controller configuration file.

Complete procedures required to generate a controller configuration file and the steps to set-up and add a control panel to it are included in Chapter 5 of the PERC3000 User Guide.

Chapter 4 Operation

4.1 B

RIEF INTRODUCTION TO SMART 32 PANEL OPERATION

During the configuration process there are several operating parameters and characteristics that must be assigned to each panel. These are briefly introduced below:

Level Include Lists: Level Include lists are created through a Cattrax configuration page and allow you to assign the switching levels that a Smart 32 panel is allowed to control. Each is a named list that may contain any or all of the system switching levels. A level list is associated to a control panel through the Panels Configuration page. Once a list is created it may be used with multiple panels.

Panel Key Lists: Smart 32 panels provide 16 pages of 32 pushbutton keys, used for command and data entry. Individual keys for a specific panel and a specific key page can be assigned a function or value by associating a Panel Key List to the panel. A unique panel key list must be created for each panel type, but the same list can be associated to any number of panels of the same type in order to clone the key functions on each panel. Panel key lists can be created for specific applications as a means of controlling access to the router by certain operators or operator station requirements.

Status Level: Status level specifies the switching level that the panel initially statuses by default when a destination is selected, and no specific level has been selected from the level select keys. This is also the switching level that the panel uses as the reference level when indicating breakaway routing conditions.

Default Destination: Default destination specifies the router destination the panel controls and for which the panel displays status when initially powered-up or following a reset.

Button Images: Through the Button Images page of Cattrax, you create a text or graphic label for each router resource or control function that may be assigned to a panel key. The specific label is displayed on any Smart 32 or Touch 72 panel key assigned to that resource or control function.

Button Colors: Through the Button Colors page of Cattrax, you can modify the factory default color scheme for key function identification.

WITCHING LEVEL IDENTIFICATION AND RANKING

When switching levels are defined as part of the controller configuration file through Cattrax, each level is assigned a number as it is created. While the number in no way determines priority or importance of one level over another, it is a convenient way to order and identify the levels. Numbers assigned to levels determine the sequence in which the levels are displayed in include lists. The number also determines the left-to-right order in which the switching level columns are displayed on the sources and destinations configuration pages of Cattrax, with switching level number one (1) appearing as the first displayed (left-most) column.

For identification purposes only, this User Guide uses the term ranking to refer to a particular switching level’s position in the numerical order of all switching levels. For example, the level assigned the number 1 (or the lowest number in whatever sequence is used) would be, for identification purposes, the highest ranking level in the system. The ranking of all other levels would be determined by their assigned number in numerical sequence.

As it pertains to a Smart 32 control panel, a level ranking determines on which switching level the panel displays status when the panel is in breakaway mode. If All Levels is shown on the display screen as the Level for which the panel is currently showing status, the actual switching level for which source and destination status is shown will be the level defined as the Status Level for the panel during panel configuration. If a switch is initiated, the selected source group is routed to the currently selected destination group on all switching levels authorized to the panel.

Any display other than All Levels indicates the panel is in breakaway mode, either for status display or switching. If more than one, but not all, levels controlled by the panel are selected, as would occur when setting up a panel for a breakaway switch, the panel will display status on the highest ranking of the selected levels. For example, you might select three levels for a breakaway switch out of eight levels that are authorized to the panel. In this case, the panel will display status on the highest ranking of the three selected levels, but will switch on all three selected levels if a switch is initiated.

OW FUNCTIONS ARE ASSIGNED TO CONFIGURABLE PANEL KEYS

PESA’s Smart 32 remote control panel provides 32 front panel keys, any of which may be assigned to any key function. It also supports a pagination system that allows you to create up to 16 distinct pages of all 32 front panel keys, for a total of 512 assignable panel keys.

Key function for all panel keys is assigned when the panel is configured into the system controller through creation of a panel key list. It is not possible to assign or edit key function directly from the panel. The panel key list configuration page from Cattrax is introduced here only to give the panel operator a better understanding of how key functions and pages are assigned. For information on configuring a panel key list and downloading it to the system controller, refer to PERC3000 System Controller Installation and Operation User Guide.

Figure 4-1 is an illustration of the Cattrax Panel Key List configuration page. Notice there are two spreadsheet type grids on the lower portion of the page.

Figure 4-1 Smart 32 Panel Key List Page

Smart 32 Remote Control Panel User Guide

Publication 81-9059-0727-0, Rev. A

April 2014

The grid on the left side of the page contains a column labeled Key # and a column labeled Type. Numbers in the Key # column correspond to the key number of each assignable key on the panel for the indicated key function page number. Notice from the on-screen panel graphic that the pushbuttons on a Smart 32 panel are sequentially numbered from left to right and top to bottom. The mnemonic in the Type column indicates the type of router resource or function assigned to each key.

On the right-hand side of the page there is another grid with a series of page select tabs at the top labeled Sources, Destinations, Salvos, Levels, Control and Page. Clicking a tab opens a grid page that lists the router resources or functions of the selected type that may be assigned to keys of the panel. After a control panel key is assigned, when the operator presses that key its resource or function is recalled.

Key function is assigned by highlighting the row in the grid on the left corresponding to the panel key and selecting the resource or function it is assigned from the tabbed pages of the right grid.

Referring to Figure 4-1, the key assignments of the panel keys on page #1 are displayed by the key assignment grid (left side). We see that panel key #1 is assigned as a source (SRC) key that selects the router source group named FS 1. When page #1 is viewed on the panel, the key label associated to source group FS 1 will be displayed on key #1, and will recall that source when pressed.

Directly above the right side grid is the Page List pane where, as shown by Figure 4-2, up to 16 unique pages of panel key function assignments may be created. Each page can also be given a name to more easily identify its function or application.

Figure 4-2 Page List Pane and Pull-Down Listing

As shown in Figure 4-2, the first 15 pages are listed by page number and have no preset key assignments. By Cattrax factory default, page 16 is identified as Page Menu and has the first 15 keys of the page pre-assigned to select key pages 1 thru 15, as shown by Figure 4-3. This allows quick access to any key assignment page in the configuration. Although these key assignments and nomenclature for page 16 are factory default, they are not fixed and can be re-assigned to any other control or function you may wish.

UTTON IMAGES PAGE

Each pushbutton key on the Smart 32 panel can display a dynamically programmable text or graphic image label to identify the function of the key. Labels displayed by Smart 32 keys are created and configured into the system controller through the Cattrax Button Images page. It is not possible to create or edit a key label directly from the panel. An example button image configuration page is introduced here to give the panel operator a better understanding of how key labels are assigned. For information on configuring a button image page and downloading it to the system controller, refer to PERC3000 System Controller Installation and Operation User Guide.

A text label or graphic image is not created individually for each panel key. Labels are configured for each router resource or function and displayed on any Smart 32 or Touch 72 panel key assigned to that resource.

Figure 4-5 is an illustration of the Cattrax Button Images configuration page. Labels and graphics are assigned to each system resource through entries in the configuration grid.

Figure 4-5 Button Images Page

By default the panel name given to every system resource during configuration of that resource is the text label that is displayed by the Smart 32 panel key. For example, refer to the grid in Figure 4-5 and look at the row for Source #1. The Panel Name is FS 1, and is the label entered during source group configuration for display on remote control panels. By default, this label would also be the text that would appear on any Smart 32 panel key assigned to Source #1, unless it is changed through the Button Images configuration grid.

The tabs across the top of the Button Images grid select the type of system resource displayed in the listing for label editing.

Through the configuration grid any system resource may be assigned one of the following label types for the Smart 32 panel keys by clicking the radio buttons to the right of the grid:

PESA’S S

WITCHING METHODOLOGY

In order to get the greatest functionality from any PESA control panel, there are a few basics of the router system architecture and control methods you need to be familiar with. For this discussion, assume a router installation in a production facility with multiple signal sources of SDI video and analog stereo audio which we need to route to multiple destinations. In our example facility we are using a PERC3000 system controller, a Cheetah router for video, a PESA DRS router for routing audio signals and a Smart 32 remote panel for system control.

Assume one of the program sources in our example facility is a network receiver, we’ll call it NET1, which provides video and stereo audio signal outputs we need to switch through our router. NET1, while being identified as a single entity, actually produces three totally independent source signals. Similarly, if we have a recorder device we’ll identify as a single entity named VTR1 on which we wish to record a program originating from NET1, we must provide all three of the signals from NET1 as inputs to recorder VTR1.

It would be possible to individually switch the three signals from NET1 to VTR1 through our router as single sources to single destinations. We would have to configure an individual source named, for example, NET1VID for the video signal; another individual source named NET1LAUD for the left audio channel, and yet another individual source named NET1RAUD for the right audio channel. Then we would have to perform a switching function routing NET1VID to the video router output providing a signal to the video input of VTR1, another switch to route the audio;…and you get the idea.

Fortunately, router control systems make it a lot easier to route multiple signals simultaneously. PESA routers accomplish this by the use of switching levels, components, sources (source groups) and destinations (destination groups), created and assigned through the controller configuration file.

Loosely defined, a switching level is a grouping of like-signals. Considering our example, we have three groups of like-signals that we need to pass through our router system: video, left channel audio and right channel audio; and each of these groups can be configured as a switching level of the router. When we create the controller configuration file we would define these three switching levels, and for ease of identification we could name them VID, AUDL and AUDR, respectively.

By defining the switching levels we’ve told the system controller it has three sets of signals to treat as separate groups. Next, we have to tell the controller where the signals for each level physically enter and exit the router hardware, i.e., which switching frame of the router system is carrying the signal, and whether or not the switching level contains multiple component signals, such as an RGB video signal. This is done by defining the components of the switching level in the controller configuration file. PESA’s control system requires that every switching level be tied to at least one component.

When configuring the router system for our example facility we would create a component entry that identifies, by IP address of the Matrix Frame Controller card, the Cheetah video frame as the physical router device for signals assigned to the VID switching level. Likewise, we would create a unique component entry for each audio switching level that identifies the DRS audio router, by IP address, as the physical router for signals assigned to switching levels AUDL and AUDR.

Sources, or source groups, are created in the controller configuration file by associating signals from one or more switching levels grouped under a common name and switched as a single entity. The source group entry allows you to specify the physical input to the router that you wish to associate with each switching level defined for the source. It is quite common for the same physical input to be used in multiple source definitions.

April 2014

We previously introduced a receiver named NET1 that provides a video signal and two audio signals used as inputs (sources) to the router. Let’s assume we physically connect the video output of the receiver to the Cheetah video router as input #1, and the left and right audio signals to the DRS audio router as audio inputs #1 and #2, respectively.

Through controller configuration, we can add a source group entry that creates a router source by the name of NET1 and define that whenever the source named NET1 is selected at a router control panel:

• Physical input #1 to the Cheetah video router is the selected source signal for the VID switching

level.

• Physical input #1 to the DRS audio router is the selected source signal for switching level

AUDL.

• Physical input #2 to the DRS router is the selected source signal for switching level AUDR.

Destinations, or destination groups, are also configured during creation of the controller configuration file, and define the router outputs just as sources define the router inputs.

Our example destination device is a recorder named VTR1 that requires a video signal and two audio signals derived from outputs (destinations) of the router. Let’s assume we physically connect the video input cable of the recorder to the Cheetah video router at output #1, and the left and right audio inputs to the DRS audio router at audio outputs #1 and #2, respectively.

4.9 S

4.9.1 A

Through controller configuration, we can add a destination group entry that creates a router destination by the name of VTR1 and define that whenever VTR1 is selected as a destination at a router control panel:

• Physical output #1 from the Cheetah video router is the selected destination for the source

signal selected on switching level VID.

• Physical output #1 from the DRS audio router is the selected destination for the source signal

selected on switching level AUDL.

• Physical output #2 from the DRS router is the selected destination for the source signal selected

on switching level AUDR.

By defining and associating various router I/O signals with source and destination groups you can easily configure system control panels to access and switch multiple signals in a single operation. The Smart 32 panel also gives you the ability to switch individual signals of a source or destination group as a breakaway operation.

WITCHING METHODS

LL LEVELS SWITCH

All-Levels or Audio-Follow-Video (AFV) is the power-on default switching method for the Smart 32

panel, and is the active switching method when the status message All Levels is displayed on the Level display line of the status display screen or when none of the pushbutton keys assigned to a level are lit. When an AFV switch is performed, signals on all switching levels defined for the selected source are switched simultaneously to all switching levels defined for the selected destination.

Smart 32 Remote Control Panel User Guide

Publication 81-9059-0727-0, Rev. A

April 2014

Using devices NET1 and VTR1 introduced in Paragraph 4.8 for this example, with an AFV switch whenever we select the destination button on a Smart 32 panel assigned to VTR1, and specify NET1 as the source selection to route to the destination, we will route signals assigned to all switching levels defined for NET1 to physical outputs defined for switching levels of VTR1. The actual switches would be:

• Video signal present at physical input #1 to the Cheetah router is routed to output #1 from the

video router through switching level VID.

• Audio signal present at input #1 to the DRS audio router is routed to physical output #1 from

the DRS audio router through switching level AUDL.

• Audio signal present at input #2 to the DRS audio router is routed to output #2 from the DRS

audio router through switching level AUDR.

4.9.2 B

4.10 D

REAKAWAY SWITCH

A Breakaway switch allows you to selectively choose specific sources for each switching level defined for the destination.

Again, using devices NET1 and VTR1 from previous examples, let’s assume that we are recording a program on VTR1 with the video signal originating from receiver NET1, but we’d like to use the audio track from a local audio recorder. For this example, stereo audio signals from the recorder enter the DRS audio router at physical inputs 3 and 4, and we’ve created a source group, REC1, that defines input 3 as the signal source for switching level AUDL and input 4 as the signal source for switching level AUDR.

Using a breakaway switch we can select NET1 as the source for switching level 1 (VID) and REC1 as the source for switching levels 2 and 3 (AUDL and AUDR). By doing so we specify that the source selected for switching levels 2 and 3 be different from the source selected for switching level 1, and thus place the sources for destination VTR1 in a breakaway condition.

IRECT TAKE SWITCHING MODE

PESA’s Smart 32 operates as a direct take panel, whereby anytime you press a pushbutton assigned to a source group, the input signals on the selected switching levels for that source are routed immediately to the currently selected destination outputs. If the status message All Levels is displayed on the Level display line of the status display screen or if none of the pushbutton keys assigned to a level are lit (alllevels mode), source signals from all switching levels defined for the source group are routed to the destination group outputs.

4.11 S

TATUS AND TALLY FUNCTIONS

All active Smart 32 pushbuttons are backlit for ease of viewing in low-light environments and colorkeyed to indicate the type of panel function it controls. In order to be active on the panel, a key must be assigned a function through the panel key list associated to the Smart 32 panel. Any pushbuttons that are not assigned a function are not backlit, thus providing a visual display of pushbutton status for the current panel configuration. Currently selected pushbuttons illuminate brightly and provide a visual indication of the status and operating mode of the channel or panel. Visual status and tally functions are discussed in the following paragraphs:

ESTINATION STATUS

The destination group name displayed on the Destination line of the status display indicates the currently selected destination group controlled by the panel. If a pushbutton key is assigned to the active destination on the currently displayed page, that pushbutton will also be lit to indicate the destination status.

OURCE AND LEVEL STATUS

The source group name displayed on the Source line of the status display indicates the currently selected source group routed to the destination group controlled by the panel according to the following criteria:

• If All Levels is displayed as the switching level selection, the Source line displays the source

group routed to the destination on the Status Level defined for the panel. If a pound sign (#) appears next to the source name, it indicates the destination is in breakaway mode and at least one of the lower ranking switching levels authorized for the panel is switched to a source other than the displayed source.

• If any level, other than All Levels is displayed as the level selection, the Source line displays the

source routed to the destination on the switching level shown.

• If multiple switching levels (but not all switching levels) are selected from panel keys assigned to

select a level, the Level line of the status screen displays the level name of the highest ranking level of all the selected levels and the Source line displays the source routed to the destination on the displayed level. If a pound sign (#) appears next to the source name, it indicates a destination breakaway condition and at least one switching level of lower ranking than the displayed level is switched to a source other than the displayed source.

4.12 C

• If a panel key on the active key page is assigned to the source currently shown on the Source line

of the display, that pushbutton will also indicate the source status by one of the following methods:

• Panel Key Illuminated Solid (not blinking)

The current destination’s status matches the source assigned to the panel key for all levels.

• Panel Key Blinking

The current status matches the source assigned to the data key for the default Status Level; however, there is at least one lower ranking switching level whose status does not match the key’s source.

• No Panel Key Illuminated

The displayed source does not match the source assigned to any panel key on the currently active key page.

ONTROL PANEL OPERATION

PESA routers are destination oriented, meaning that switches are made by first selecting the destination group you want the panel to control and then selecting the source group you want to route to the destination outputs. Default operation for a Smart 32 panel on power-up or reset is All Levels.

• Verify that the message All Levels is displayed by the status display screen.

• Press the pushbutton key assigned to the destination group you want the panel to control, if

different from the currently active destination. The destination key will light.

• Press the source key corresponding to the source group you want to route to the destination

selected in the previous step. When a source is selected, the pushbutton lights and the switch occurs immediately.

IRECT TAKE, BREAKAWAY SWITCHING

A breakaway switch allows you to switch source signals defined for one or more specific switching levels of a selected source group to the output channels defined for the corresponding switching levels of a selected destination group.

• Press the destination key if you want to change the destination group the panel is controlling. The

destination key will light.

• Press the panel key(s) assigned to the level(s) on which you want to perform a breakaway switch.

You may select any number of switching levels for the breakaway switch. The highest ranking selected level is shown on the Level line of the status display screen, and all selected level(s) are indicated by lit keys on the panel.

• Press the panel key corresponding to the source group you want for the breakaway switch on the

selected switching level(s) to the destination selected in a previous step.

4.13 A

• When you select a source key, input signals defined through the selected source group are routed

to destination outputs on only the switching levels defined for the breakaway switch. When a source is selected, the pushbutton lights and the switch immediately occurs.

PPLYING DESTINATION PROTECT OR LOCK

Applying protection to a destination prevents another user or an accidental key press from switching the current source selection. Any panel key assigned to the lock/protect function may apply destination protection. The status display device provides a real-time, visual status of the current protection status of the selected destination.

There are two protection methods available:

• Destination PROTECT – A momentary press of the Protect/Lock button places the currently

selected destination in “Protect” mode, whereby the protected destination can still be switched by the panel which originally placed the destination in “Protect” mode, but is “Locked” to all other panels and users. When the destination is in Protect mode, the Protect/Lock button is steadily illuminated. Pressing the Protect/Lock key toggles the protect mode of the selected destination. As a visual indication of the destination Protect status, an exclamation symbol (!) is displayed to the left of the destination on the status display screen.

• Destination LOCK – Pressing the Protect/Lock button a second time places the currently

selected destination in “Lock” mode. In Lock mode the selected destination is “Locked” for all users and can not be switched to a different source by any panel or other user without first unlocking the selected destination. As a visual indication of the destination Lock status, an asterisk symbol (*) is displayed to the left of the destination on the status display screen.

Pressing the Protect/Lock key toggles the protect mode of the selected destination between unlocked, protect and lock.
