An active zone set is the zone set in use. You can have only one zone set active at a

 

time; however, you can have a zone in more than one zone set. Zones sets are usually

 

created for a particular task.

 

Zones work by exclusion. Members of a zone can communicate with other members in

elements in active zones can communicate with each other. When a zone is not active,

 

it does not have any effect.
