The Port Manager window lists the ports on the selected room controller device (Master room controller or Auxiliary
device) or standalone room controller for assigning controlled devices to its ports. It enables writing a description for
the assigned device and assigning a default driver to each port.
Note that ports on auxiliary devices can be used only for sending outgoing commands from the auxiliary
device to an AV controlled device. If you need device responses to use Monitor Event triggers or Queries
functions, which rely on bidirectional communication, connect the AV controlled device to the K-NET master
room controller device. For similar reasons, GPI/O ports on the auxiliary devices will be disabled.
In the following example, the project navigator includes the
RC-74DL
, the
RC-63DL
, the
RC-53DLC
and the
SL-10
,
