5.5mm OD 2.5mm ID coaxial connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power
source.
•
Ethernet connector
– Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for controlling a

•
The remote panel will attempt to connect to the IP address assigned to the
setting, the panel button LEDs will cycle until a connection is established.
•
The button control panel is initialized and buttons are illuminated to show the initial routing status.
1.3 Front Panel Button Interface
The MSC-CP59X59E is a 59x59 remote button panel for controlling and viewing status of a router.
This panel provides an interface for controlling up to 59 outputs and 59 intputs. The bottom row of buttons is
used for selecting the current output being controlled and the top row is used for selecting the input which is
connected to the currently selected output. The output and input buttons are each split in to 6 digits for selecting
the most significant 10s digit (0X – 5X) and the least significant 1s digit (X0 – X9). For example: to select
output 16, the lower 1X button would be pressed followed by the lower X6 button. Just pressing a least
significant 1s button will use the current most significant 10s button. For example: if the current output is 16
and the least significant X8 button is pressed, then output 18 would be selected.
After selecting an output, the currently connected input will be indicated on the top row buttons with a 10s digit
and 1s digit button both being lit. To make a connection to the current selected output, make a new input
selection by pressing a top row 10s digit and 1s digit. Just pressing a 1s digit will use the currently selected
