When the VS-3232A functions in the:
• FOLLOW-System mode, the VS-3232A switches with other 32x32 or

16x16 matrix switchers, implementing the same action simultaneously

• BREAKAWAY-from-System mode, the VS-3232A functions

independently, implementing an action as a standalone unit that is
independent of the other units connected

The VS-3232A unit will function in the FOLLOW-System mode if at least
one other VS-3232A unit is set to the FOLLOW-System mode and these units
interconnect via an RS-232 and/or RS-485 communication line.

To set the VS-3232A unit to function in the FOLLOW-System mode:

1. Make sure that DIP 5 is set to ON. If it is not set to ON, when pressing the

FOLLOW button, the following message appears:

Error: set DIP-5 to ON

to allow FOLLOW SYSTEM mode
