There are three different setup modes in the Dragon Drop-IRSoftware. The Basic mode allows quick setup and programming for an Eight zone system. It assumes all zones will use factory defaults and will behave exactly the same. The Advanced mode allows customization of system configuration for functions such as zone link, monitor lockout, unique IR programming by zone, etc. The Expanded mode allows programming of systems with more than Eight zones using linked MRC88 Controllers Figure 1 -
