15.2.3 Controlling a sub-station using
This dialogue screen is only of any significance if a sub-station is connected to the
SIMATRIX.
In the main matrix (only SIMATRIX SYS, NEO, 648):
Only one interface can be selected for sending commands to a sub-station.
Select the serial interface, which will be used to connect the sub-station to the
SIMATRIX.
In the sub-station:
Address-directed control is only possible via COM2, i.e. the commands from the
main matrix must be received via COM2.
The sub-station address is entered using the arrow keys. It is possible to control up
to 26 sub-stations.
The menu option
Remote control and message receiving
automatically sends
the sub-station number when dialling a camera. This allows a test of whether the
sub-station address is correct or not.
