Resources
Resources are provided from the systems installed: BeoLink system (A/V products and its connected sources); - Home Automation system(s) (e.g.
buttons, sensors); Virtual resources (programmed resources e.g. related to a button on a user interface or based on an event, e.g. temperature and
sunset) and systems themselves (e.g. Web-cam).
In the Resources page the resources related to the installed Home Automation system and related buttons (i.e. the components it comprises) can
be fetched by using the
Capture
function or made manually. The
Import resources
function is importing preprogrammed resources.

resources.

type of available resources
depends on the actual A/V
product (BeoLink ressource types can only be NetworkLink product or MasterLink product).
Address
Unique identification of a resource. The format depends on the system. NL is the serial number and
ML is a unique (but hidden) ML Device number.
Capture
An easy way to add resources is to use the capture function. This function is recommended to be used as often as possible. Press
Capture
and then
activate various components by which the BeoLink Gateway records these activities as resources. NL sources are captured and named automatically
and sources on ML devices must be switched on manually and must be named manually.
Resource selected from the capture list are added automatically to the table of defined resources.
The capture functionality is supported by most systems.
