The Triggers

6The Triggers

A trigger comprises a series of actions that can be activated by an event, a press of a button or a preset schedule. In addition to the four built-in triggers (see Section 6.1), the Kramer K-Configalso lets you create other custom triggers.

6.1The Built-in Triggers

The built-in triggers are important for proper operation of the system:

•The All Off and All On triggers – the actions assigned to the All Off and All On triggers apply to the On and Off actions in the Site-CTRL Management Tool software, as well as in the built-in Web pages Macro tab

•The Device Startup trigger – lets you assign a series of actions that will define the status of the room system following power-up, and will constitute the basic system state1.

For example, define the light status of the OFF button of the device upon power up; set the main display status to OFF and so on

•The Device Inactivity trigger – lets you define the room status in case of device inactivity2 for a defined period (from 0 to 180 minutes). For example, power down the main display and then roll up the projector screen
