Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions
External Interface Subpanel 
The External Interface Subpanel, located near the left end of the 
upper control panel, provides selection of the type of interface to 
be used to communicate with external devices.
The buttons in this subpanel perform the following functions:
The
 EDIT Enable 
button enables or disables editor access to the 
switcher. Initially pressing the button illuminates it and allows 
external control of the switcher through the Editor port. Pressing 
the button a second time turns off the button lamp and disables 
editor control of the switcher. With
 EDIT Enable 
off, editor 
protocol messages that affect the switcher are still acknowledged 
by the switcher, although it does not act under Editor control. For 
example, the switcher will still send status information to the 
editor.
NOTE:  
An editor cannot control the
 EDIT Enable 
button via software 
protocol. In addition, the
 EDIT Enable 
button does not affect 
communication through the other serial ports.
