3. OPERATION
The router electronics is housed in a 1RU rack mount frame and is controlled from the built-in front panel
controls. Each model can also be purchased with an optional rack mount remote control panel that
replaces the built-in control panel. Operation of the Remote control panel is identical to the built in control
panel. A second control panel can also be purchased for the routers. This panel is connected to the
REMOTE CTL port and allows the user to access the all of the router functions except the Setup menu.
All units can also be controlled by contact closures on the GPI control port or through the REMOTE CTL
serial remote control port using Grass Valley switcher protocol.
