NOTE: You can also view a set of ties by selecting a tied output. Demonstrate this
as follows:
1.
Note the number of a lit output button, and then press and release the output
button for an untied (unlit or background illumination) output.
2.
Observe that all of the untied outputs light.
3.
Press the output button that you noted previously.
4.
Observe that the selected output button, the tied input button (input 5), and
the output buttons light for all of the outputs that are tied to the input.
5.
Exit View-only mode: Press and release the View button to exit View-only mode.
All input buttons and output buttons
return to unlit or background illumination.
VIEW
Press the button.
The View button returns to unlit
or background illumination.
I/O Grouping
I/O grouping is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front panel controls
of the matrix into up to four smaller functional subswitchers (see figure 21) and limit tie
creation. The I/O group limitation applies to tie creation from the front panel only. Inputs and
outputs can be assigned to one of four groups or not assigned to any group.

I/O Grouping
When you are creating ties on the front panel, inputs and outputs that are assigned to a
group can be tied only to other outputs and inputs within the same group. For example,
a front panel operator cannot tie an input that is assigned to group 1 to an output that is
assigned to group 2. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be switched to outputs and inputs
in any group. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can be
created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.
