Troubleshooting
If the test switch did not execute correctly:
Start with...
Check the power indicator on the front of the enclosure.
If the power indicator is not illuminated, check the power switches and the power cords on the
enclosure and on the source and destination devices.
Next, try...
Control Panel
Reenter the command to see if the error was simply a timeout error.
Verify the status of the switch. Press the Status Key, the Video Level Key, and Input Key 1. If
Output Key 2 illuminates, the control panel has established an internal connection between
the input and the output connectors.
BCS
Check the command and reenter it.*
Verify the status of the switch by entering SI1T. If SI1T(2) appears, the system established
a connection between the input and the output connectors within the Precis LT enclosure.
Follow up with...
Check all input and output cable connections on the rear of the enclosure and on the devices to
ensure all connections are correct and secure.
Attempt the switch again.
Isolate source and destination equipment and cable problems by patching around the switcher
using barrel connectors to check the overall signal path.
Reconnect cables to the Precis LT and attempt the switch again.
Still need help?
If the switch still does not work, contact technical support (see page 31).
* Often the command has simply been entered incorrectly (e.g., omitting an output in a Change
command), or the command has specified a value that is not valid (e.g., entering an input or output
number not available on the system).
