• Pressing the FOLLOW button on the CV switcher too, sets it searching for
the other machines in the FOLLOW state
At this state, all three switchers follow each other: for example, switching
input 1 to output 16 on the English language audio switcher, switches
input 1 to output 16 on the French language audio switcher and on the CV
switcher. Alternatively, you switch the CV switcher and have both audio
switchers follow
• To return to independent switching, simply press the BREAKAWAY
button on the switcher
7.1.2 The Master/Slave Configuration Setup
The Master/Slave configuration setup is only used for the multi-channel switchers
configuration: one unit is set to be the Master and the other units are set to be the
Slaves. The Slave units always follow the Master, they cannot be set to work as a
standalone, unless you turn them off and change the DIP-switch settings.
In the Master/Slave configuration setup, the Slave unit initializing-sequence
always follows the Master unit initialization-sequence, and the entire setup
sequence is automatic (the Master–slave system automatically sets the master
and the slave setup follows).
If several slave units are connected in a Master/Slave configuration, the
initialization delay time for each of the Slave units (except for the first slave in
the sequence) should be programmed via the menu, as described in
Section
9.7 .
To change the initializing sequence delay time for a Slave unit via the menu,
set DIP 6 to OFF and turn the unit ON separately in the Master mode.
On the Slave VS-3232A unit, the LCD display

The front panel control is managed via the Master unit, on which the front
panel buttons are unlocked and the LCD display illuminates.
