5.6.1. View mode
This mode was designed to display crosspoint state of a selected- and its
connected port(s).
Info: Crosspoint settings cannot be changed in View mode but port settings are available.
5.6.2. Crosspoint operations
Crosspoint changes can be made in Input switch mode and Output switch mode. The
working method is the same in both cases but the priority is different.
Input switch mode
The mode can be also named as ‘Input priority-mode’. In the mode an input port has to be
selected at first then the connected output port(s) is/are shown. Thus, the output port(s)
connected to the input port can be changed.
