Bosch Appliances 3.5 manual 20 No control of zone

Praesideo 3.5 Installation and User Instructions 11 Optional Software

The figure 60.19 shows how a zone icon appears in the zone selection pane upon selection of that zone. Selection is indicated by a color change of the selection border. The name of the active BGM channel in that zone is shown inside the icon, together with the actual volume setting of that zone. If the BGM channel is a local BGM channel, not distributed via the PC Call Station Client, its name is unknown and a musical note is displayed inside the icon instead of the name of the BGM channel.

From left to right: Unselected, Unselected with local BGM, Selected.

figure 60.20: No control of zone

The figure 60.20 shows how a zone icon appears on the screen when the user is not authorized to control BGM, see section 59.5.4.9. No BGM control is now possible for these zones, which is indicated by cross hatching of the selection border.

From left to right: Unselected zone and no control possible, Unselected zone with local BGM and no control possible.

Note

Zone group icons on the layout do not provide information about BGM channels or volume settings for zones that are part of that zone group because the channel and volume setting can be completely different for the individual zones in that group. Nevertheless, a zone group (with all its zones) can be added to a selected BGM channel, so these zones will get that BGM channel, but this will not be shown. Likewise, if at least one zone of that zonegroup was already playing the selected BGM channel, selecting that zone group (again) will remove that BGM channel from the zones of that zone group, but this will not be clear from the icon appearance. Because of this limitation it is advised to control BGM via individual zones and not via zone groups
