Example #1: Configuring the Ties for Input 2.
If necessary, press ESC to clear all Input,
Output and Control LEDs.
1. Select I/O modules to be switched.
(Example shows RGBS and Audio.)
2. Select the Input number. (Example
shows Input 2.)
3. Select the Output(s) to be tied to the
chosen Input. The Output LEDs will
blink to indicate the tentative
changes. (Example shows
Outputs 2 and 5.)
4. Press Enter to complete the
operation.
_______ If an output had been tied to
another input, that tie will be

Example #2: Display the Ties for Input 5.
See picture, lower left.
If necessary, press ESC to clear Input,
Output and Control LEDs.

The LED(s) for the Outputs (numbers 3, 4 and 7) will light to show
that they are connected to Input 5.
If an I/O module LED blinks when displaying ties, it means that the
ties for that module are not the same as those for the RGBS module.
