Panasonic Matrix Switcher Wj Sx150a Operating Instructions

							22
In the factory default setting, you can control the unit, if you connect a PS·Data system controller to the DATA 4 port. For exam-
ple, if you connect a PS·Data unit supporting network connections (refer to p. 42), remote-control of the unit and the PS·Data
units will be available with a system controller or PC. 
When you use a PS·Data system controller, take notice the following:
•The administer authorization and log-in/log-out procedure differs from the unit. They are conformed to the system con-
troller. Refer to the system controllers operating instructions.
•Use the PS·Data template supplied with the system controller, as the operating procedures differ from those of the terminal
mode. (Refer to pp. 123 to 128.)
•When connecting a recorder to the unit, you may have to configure the settings of the unit and recorder, depending on the
recorders available functions and connections. (Refer to pp. 40 to 55.)
