All local control panels are given a default configuration, whi ch includes the buttons “A/V
Toggle”, “Panel Enable”, “Take on/off” and “Take”. In addition input and output buttons are
preconfigured.
7.1 Button description
7.1.1 A/V Toggle
The A/V Toggle button enables/disables audio and video on a specified address. The
address can either be read from the dip switches, or be fixed. The button toggles between
three states.
If the button is pressed for more than 1 second, it will go into a fourth state
where both audio and video are disabled.
In this state the button will be dimmed. If the button is pressed for more than 1 second
again, it will enable both audio and video if present.
Button Color Video Enabled Audio Enabled
Yellow Yes Yes
Green Yes No
Red No Yes
Dimmed No No
If neither audio nor video is present, it will be marked as disabled and the toggle state will
not be used.
Toggle status changes will be stored in flash and used when the panel is powered up later.
7.1.2 Panel Enable
The panel always starts in disabled mode. In this state the button will be red and all the
other buttons will be disabled. When pressing the button the panel will be enabled and the
color will change to green. A status request will also be sent to get information on active
levels.
