Remote Panel Operating Modes
Remote Panel Operating Modes
Remote panels operate in different modes. There are 3 panel modes:
• Standard.
• Enhanced, with hold.
• Enhanced, without hold.
They differ chiefly in the use of level selection buttons.
Standard Mode
Level selection is persistent and at the discretion of the panel operator. Once the operator makes a
selection, it remains until the operator next changes the selection.
The current level selection enables some sources and destinations and disables others. The sources
and destinations that are enabled depend on which level button has precedence.
If no levels are selected, no sources or destinations are enabled. A take cannot occur.
If the panel has no level buttons, all destinations’ levels are always selected and all destinations
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.
Standard mode allows breakaway. To determine what sources are routed to a destination might
require a few button presses. Clearing a breakaway is relatively simple. For general information on
panel operation, see
Operating Panels on page 93. For detailed information, see the CR Series Com-
pact Router User’s Guide or a panel’s documentation.
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.
Enhanced mode has 2 submodes: hold and no-hold.
• Hold mode: the level selection persists (after the destination button press) until you change it.
This allows you to try different sources.
(Clear a breakaway by starting a new normal take to that destination.)
• No-hold mode: a level selection reverts to the levels defined by the destination after you press a
source button.
(Clear a breakaway by either starting a new normal take to that destination or just pressing a
source without a level selection.)
The choice between hold mode and no-hold mode is meant to accommodate operator preferences.
There is no functional difference between these two submodes. For general information on panel
Note Panel modes do not apply to CQX panels.
