10. Technologies MX-FR Series Modular Matrix Frames – User's Manual 131
The transmitters are still able to receive and execute commands via
their local control interface (e.g. RS232 or USB) while RICOD lock is
enabled. The remote lock command affects only the buttons but does
not prevent the switching if it is commanded locally.
Locking Operation Flowchart
Buttons on the extenders can be locked by front panel operation or
remotely, but the two ways of locking are not the same. If buttons
were locked by a front panel operation, they can be unlocked by a
RICOD unlock command followed by an unlock operation on the front
panel.
Video Routers
The routers behave differently because locking the whole front panel
port (see RICOD_SLEN command in the
Status section) and a lock command is received over the same port,
then the output port will be "output locked". This is the same output
lock function as described in the Output Lock section. The output lock
is reported back by the protocol (shown in the controller software and
on the web, as well) and displayed on the front panel. The output lock
can be overridden and turned off by protocol or front panel.
If the output lock is enabled for a given port, a remote RICOD command
is also able to turn it off.
ATTENTION! The accepted RICOD command overrides the output
lock function. If the RICOD function is turned on for a given output
port, then the output lock condition can be changed remotely.
