To Switch to an Alternate Device

When an alternate device has been assigned to a device, you can quickly switch between the two if the primary device is not operable.

Note: You must have an alternate device assigned to be able to switch to it.

Press HOME > More > Remote Enables > Alternate Device.
Press the button for the port the primary device is assigned to.
Select the action you want to take on the device:

Note: If a lock is shown next to the port name, the alternate device is not enabled on the Communications menu and you cannot switcher to it.
- Primary — select the primary device.
- Alternate — select the alternate device.
- Toggle — toggle between the active device and the other.
Tip: Toggle swaps between the primary and alternate depending on which is active. If the alternate is active, the primary is selected. If the primary is active, the alternate is selected.
