10.1 Connecting Methods
Before you perform any of the actions described above, you need to physically connect to the room controller device.
This can be done in any of the following ways:
•
Connecting via the Ethernet
•
Connecting to the device via the RS-232 port (no null-modem is required).
•
Connecting the room controller device directly to your PC via the USB connector whether it is defined as an
auxiliary device or a standalone Master room controller.
You can connect only via the available ports on the room controller device.
Note that you can read from a room controller device only via the Ethernet.
