Advanced Features 

 

Advanced Features.  There are a few settings that most users 
will never need, but it is worthy of mention in this section.  
 
 
 
 
 
Configure Refresh Setting 

ZigBee Mirror Modules should normally be configured to have 
a Refresh setting of 1 to 5.  However, other refresh settings 
may be desirable for some applications.  The Refresh setting 
determines the speed of communications between the ZigBee 
Mirror Module and the Remote Relay Controller (or control

lers).  A Refresh setting of 0 instructs the ZigBee Mirror Module 
to communicate to the remote relay controller as quickly as 
possible.  You should be very cautious about choosing this 
value.  This data rate generates an enormous amount of radio 
traffic.  If you attempt to use other devices with computers or 
other ZigBee Mirror Modules, you might find there is few com

munications gaps available for reliable communication.  A 
value of 255 instructs the ZigBee Mirror Module to ONLY com

municate data to remote devices when a change is detected.  
Again, good refresh values of 1 to 5 are strongly recom

mended.

 

 
Calculated Mapping Bytes 

By Default, the ZigBee Mirror software will calculate the “MAP” 
Byte, which determines the starting input location for every 
controller.  Most users will want to keep the default mapping 
byte values.  However, you may choose to Remap the inputs 
manually.  You may experiment with this as much as you want, 
you cannot damage the controller.  However, it should be 
stated that modifying the mapping byte can cause undesirable 
operation. 
 
 
 
 

Remap to Custom Settings 

Choosing the Remap to Custom Settings option allows you to 
modify the MAP Bytes.  The best use for MAP bytes is to copy a 
value from one location to the other.  For instance, if you copy 
the 9 (shown above) to the position of the 17 (shown above), 
the controller will remap inputs 1

8 to talk to the first 2 ProXR 

controllers.  Some experimentation is in order if you want to 
change the way inputs are mapped to controllers.  Again, you 
cannot damage the controller in any way. 

Restore to Factory Default Settings

 

Clicking this button will return the controller to the same set

tings that it had when you first received the controller.  These 
settings are ideal for helping you understand how to use the 
controller, as these settings will match the information con

tained in this manual.
