Setup
STRIKE P38 User Manual Rev. 1
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an STRIKE P38 (the master) to control one or more STRIKE P38 products
(the slaves) without a DMX controller. One STRIKE P38 becomes the master when running an auto program,
or by being in Static mode.
You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
