Question: Can I set up a switch configuration and save it via the front panel buttons? As a default?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you can save configurations and setup a default. According to the manual, "The SM-16X16-DVI-LCD and SM-32X32-DVI-LCD switches provide the ability to save and recall up to 100 switch configurations using the LCD menu. The switch configurations define the current port connections, volume control settings, and video blank status."
After configurations have been made and saved, the unit will load the configuration saved into memory location 0 as the default upon power up.
