Configure a Zone Containing Three imVision Controllers 

 

Controller 

 

The “Controller” communications mode should be selected if the port is used to connect from the imVision 
Controller to another controller in the zone. 

 

The “Controller” mode is selected when the button next to a port is in the “pushed out” position. When 
pushed out, the button is flush with the controller housing. 

The  example  above  shows  the  patch  cord  connections  and  button  positions  required  to  configure  a  zone 
containing three imVision Controllers.
