Pin 3 and GND (Pin 1) are closed contact as long as the power is OK; when the power is
failing it will become open. The GPI output can switch a maximum load of 100mA at 30V.
Any device to be controlled by the GPI outputs (lamp, LED or similar) needs to be connected
to an external supply voltage on one end and to the GPI output on the other end.
Power Up mode
Switches all outputs according to the
buffered information in the routers
processor system.
Switches all outputs to input 1.
Default setting switches all outputs according to the buffered information in the routers
processor system.

5 Router communication
You gain access to router for communication purposes by connecting either the routers
serial port to your computer or by using an Ethernet connection.
Do not use both the routers Ethernet port and RS-232 serial port, or NCB ports,
at the same time. Doing so may cause loss of important communication and
control data.

Note that each device at the end of the chain has a termination plug, indicated with the letter
T. This termination plug must be inserted in the correct connection port. If not, no NCB
communication is possible.
As seen in the figure above, Pin 3 is connected to Pin 4, and Pin 5 is connected to Pin 6.

Output
An Output button is used for selecting an output. Selecting an output activates it, so that it is
switched to the next input that is selected.
Input
An Input button switches the active output to the selected input. If the Take button is enabled,
the switch will not be executed until the Take button is pressed.
When switching using the Input button, all enabled audio- and video-levels will be switched
from the selected input to the active output.
The Input button can also be used to select the active output. This is useful on
single bus panels. It requires that a Panel Enable button is present. When the
panel is enabled, press the Panel Enable button and hold it while selecting the
active output by pressing an Input button. Then release the Panel Enable button.
The panel will now be disabled. Press the Panel Enable button again to enable it.
XY
An Input to Output (XY) button switches a preset input to a preset output on all enabled
audio- and video-levels. If the Take button is enabled, the switch will not be executed until
the Take button is pressed.
Salvo
A Salvo button switches a sequence of cross points. This is done even if the specified audioor video-level is disabled.
Lock
A Lock Toggle button toggles the lock-status on the active output on all enabled audio- and
video-levels. If the active output on any of the enabled levels is locked before pressing the
button, they will be unlocked. If not the active output on all enabled levels will be locked. A
locked output cant be switched.
