The tab area includes the:

•Machine front panel – shows the front panel of the selected machine and if available, lets you configure a button trigger

•Port Manager (see Section 5.1)

•Device Settings (see Section 5.2)

•Web settings (see Section 5.3)

5.1Defining the Port Manager

The Port Manager tab defines the ports on the selected K-NET device (Master RC or Aux K-NET device) or standalone room controller and lets you write a description and assign a default driver to each port.

Note that ports on auxiliary devices can be used only for sending outgoing commands from the auxiliary device to an AV device. If you need to use Monitor event triggers or Queries functions, which rely on bidirectional communication, connect the AV device to the K-Net master device.

For similar reasons, GPI/O ports on the auxiliary devices will be disabled.

To define the port manager (for example, a projector driver that is connected to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port of an SV-552), do the following:

1.In the Control Room area, select 1-SV-552.

2.Select the Port Manager tab.

3.Click the Driver area next to [1-SV-552] RS-232.D_Type.
