Linking On/Off Status between mixes

Hello, I am having difficulties finding a guide on how to link the status of a fader getting turned on and off between mixes

EX.

On the main mix (when no mixes are selected) I turn fader 1 on what I then want it to do is turn on on the other mixes.

    What mixer are you talking about?

    As a common knowledge, I can talk about average PA mixers like Vi series, Si series and old analog desks like K2 somethings.
    Normally the channel has a mute button as know as CH MUTE.
    It mutes the channel as it then the all buse sends of the mains and aux sends will be muted.

    Each channel's each aux sending has ON button to mute only that sending for each aux.
    When the CH mute has pushed, this ON-OFF button does not have any meaning because the channel has already muted all.

    However, there are some strange mixers in Soundcraft.
    For example, some of cheap analog mixers doesn't have ON OFF button for aux sends.
    They only have a master mute for each aux bus or don't have any mute about the aux so you need to turn the sends down for mute. Ui series is slightly strange one. The CH mute only mute the main bus like the CH-ON button then the aux sends won't be muted in their default setting. Users have to set the AUX MUTE INHERITANCE feature at the preference section to make the button as CH mute. If you were talking about the Ui24R, that is it.
