Lighting the tally lamp from an external device
You can light up the tally lamp of the unit red or green from an external device, such as the RM-IP500 or a switcher. You can
control the tally using commands transmitted over the network or using a tally signal input on the OPTION connector of the
unit.

When inputting a tally signal on the OPTION connector, short-circuit pin 7 to GND (either pin 4 or 5) to light up the tally lamp
green, or pin 8 to GND (either pin 4 or 5) to light up the tally lamp red.
