Creating a Virtual Master
Describes how to create a Virtual Master to control a room via KRAMER NETWORK
Once you have arranged and defined the driver commands of the controlled devices, you can set the control room via
the project navigator.
The project navigator lets you set the controlled room.
Depending on the Master room controller, up to four Aux K-NET devices and two Virtual Devices as well as up to 15
control gateways can be used in the same control system setup. At any point you can-right click a room controller
device to perform further functions.
You can check the Show unused ports box to show the ports that are unused for each device.
We recommend that you open a new project before defining the control room. At any point, you can save (or
save as) the project, see
Section 4.2.1
When opening a new project, you can either add a Master Room Controller or a Virtual Master. The Virtual Master is
used for controlling rooms via KRAMER NETWORK (see our Web site at
http://www.kramerav.com/NETWORK
KRAMER NETWORK Virtual Master is described in detail in
Section 12

RC-74DL
is selected as the Master room controller and the
RC-63DL
is the connected
auxiliary device (some of the devices in the Add Device list (for example, the
WP-500
) do not accept auxiliary devices).
