CRSC Network Operation
Control Panel Buttons
Button Types
For most panels, all buttons except the lock buttons are configurable as:
• Level selection buttons.
• Source buttons.
• Destination buttons.
• Salvo buttons.
The panels that can control the 64×64 matrices of CR6400 routers (CP32-6464, CP6401, and
CP6464) also have what are called paging buttons — buttons that control (1) whether sources or
destinations are presented on the panel or (2) which set of sources and destinations is
presented.
The CP6401 does not have destination buttons. They are single-destination panels.
Panel Modes
Panel modes are applicable to all panels (except the CQX panel). Panels can be configured in one
of 3 modes:
• Standard
• Enhanced, with hold
• Enhanced, without hold
These modes control level selection in quite different ways. Operators will need to know how
levels are managed in the panels they use.
Standard Mode
In standard mode, takes are performed on (manually) selected levels only.
Level selection is persistent and at the discretion of the panel operator. Once the operator
makes a level selection, it remains until the operator changes the selection. The current level
selection enables some sources and destinations and disables others. The sources and destina-
tions that are enabled depend on which level button has precedence. See
Button Order ,
following, for information about precedence.
If no levels are selected, no sources or destinations are enabled. A take cannot occur.
If the panel has no level buttons, all of a destinations’ levels are always selected and all destina-
tions are enabled.
Which level button has precedence depends on the order of level buttons on the panel and the
order in which the operator presses the level buttons. See
Button Order , following.
Standard mode allows breakaway. A breakaway is when you route to some, not all, of a destina-
tion’s levels. By default, all valid levels are automatically selected when you set up a take. By
creating a breakaway, you route only to the levels you have individually selected.
Enhanced Mode (Hold and No-hold)
‘Takes’ are performed on all the levels specified by the destination.
In enhanced mode, level selection is applicable only to breakaway. Level selection governs the
selection of sources for the breakaway. All sources and destinations are always enabled.
