Managed Button
The Managed button is used to put the network under control of a computer
for firmware updates, system monitoring, etc. Managed Mode can only be
engaged from the network’s Control Master.
When using a PC for firmware updates, etc., a Pro64 module cannot have
its RS‑232/422 or MIDI port assigned to a VDC when the PC is connected.
Deactivate these VDC assignments before entering Managed Mode.
Connecting a PC to the Control Master requires the use of the RS‑232 port for
communication. The RS‑232 baud rate DIP switches also need to be set to the
same rate as the computer application for data transfers.
To enter Managed Mode, press the Ma n a g E d button; its LED will flash. The
Enter/Cancel LED will also flash. Press En t E r to confirm the mode change or

To exit Managed Mode, press the Ma n a g E d button; its LED will flash and the
Enter/Cancel LED will flash. Press En t E r to confirm the mode change. The
network returns to the previous local mode, Auto or Manual.
In Managed Mode, Virtual Data Cable and channel Active buttons behave as
if the module is edit locked; they provide information only when pressed. All
other front panel edits are prohibited.
