Defining the Control Room

Note: Be sure that your control room setup tree is correct before continuing with the configuration. If, at a later stage, an auxiliary K-NET device or a Master RC will be deleted from the tree, all the port assignments, triggers and action lists written for all the devices in the tree will also be deleted

You can right-click a device to carry out several operations, as illustrated in the examples in Figure

15:

•Add a device (Master RC only)

•Delete a device

•Add a description that will appear in the Device View area

•Set the K-NET™ ID (see Section 8)

•Edit the device view (virtual device only)

•If the setup includes two or more identical AUX panels – you can set some of them to be the “exact same as” another AUX/Master device (so they will behave in the exact same manner)

•Export a device (for virtual devices only)

This section describes some of the auxiliary devices in more detail.

4.1.1The Virtual Device – Compatible with SL-1, SL-10, SL-12, SL-14RC, RC-74DL, SV-551 and SV-552

A virtual auxiliary application can be developed1 by the installer and used as a virtual user room control interface under a common OS (iOS®, Android™ and so on) to control room functions via IT infrastructures. To support the Virtual Device application, a Virtual Device triggers layer must be defined by K-Config. This layer will associate triggers sent from the virtual application to the
