5. Select an Address from the Address pull-down. (Refer to
Figure 4) If using only one RSA-1.0 use the default of ‘0’. If
using multiple RSA-1.0’s, set each to a different address.
6. Left click OK in the Expansion Device Setup Window to
set the Address. An RSA-1.0 icon will appear at the bottom
of the Project Content Window under Expansion Devices
as RSA-1.0-0 (assuming Address ‘0’ was selected). If mul-
tiple RSA-1.0s are added, they will all appear and each will
indicate its Address, RSA-1.0-0; RSA-1.0-1; RSA-1.0-2; etc.
as shown in Figure 5.
7. In the Project Content Window, left click the EZ-Pad in
the Zone that is going to be programmed to send RS232
commands from the RSA-1.0. (Zone 1, EZ-Pad-0 as shown
in Figure 6.) The EZ-Pad selected will appear on screen.
8. Left click the button on the EZ-Pad that is going to be
programmed to send RS232 commands via the RSA-1.0.
The button will highlight in blue, and the Button Proper-
ties Window will appear, if not already on screen.
9. In the Project Content Window, left click the RSA-1.0 that
is going to control the device selected on the EZ-Pad
in Step 8 above, (in this case AUX, which is an Escient
FireBall). The word SELECTED will appear after the RSA-
1.0 icon to indicate that the RSA has been selected for
programming. If multiple RSAs are being used in a system,
this will indicate which RSA has been selected.
10. Left click the CMD Library Tab to bring the IR/RS232 Com-
mand Library to the front.
11. In the Brands text box, type in the name of the brand
to be programmed, in this case Escient. (The pull-down
can also be used as well as typing in ‘E’ and scrolling to
Escient from the beginning of the ‘E’s’ using the arrow
down key.)
12. Double left click the type of component being controlled,
DVD player, CD changer, etc. or in this case, Music Server.
If a single model is available under the component se-
lected, the sub-directory will open a list of commands. If
multiple model numbers are available, double left click the
model number for the device being controlled to open
the command list.
13. Scroll through the list to fi nd the RS232 Commands.
RS232 Commands are ‘prefi xed’ with a blue ‘1010’. If
no RS232 commands are available from the Command
Library, see section: Creating RS232 Commands.
14. Double left click the desired RS232 command. The com-
mand will appear in the Button Properties Window. (Refer
to Figure 8) If there are commands already associated
with the button being programmed, the RS232 com-
mand will appear at the bottom of the list. The command
