Setup Access
Setup Access determines whether the keypad in a particular zone
allows access to the Keypad Setup menu. The Keypad Setup Menu
includes the settings for On Volume, Tone Controls, Party Mode
Turn-On Volume, EQ, Backlight Configuration and Power-On
mode. Given the complexity of the system and the sophistication
of the user, a decision must be made to allow or block user access
to these settings.
To Configure Setup Access:
1. In SETUP BY NUMBER PAGE 1, press the

To exit Setup, press the
Exit Button G. To continue Zone Setup,
position the cursor next to PAGING GROUP and continue to the
next section.
Paging Group
Selecting a Group in this setting will place the zone being
configured into a select group of zones that will be paged,
e.g., Bedrooms or Common areas when selected in the Paging sub-
menu on the zone keypad. As described in
Naming Paging
Groups,
the system features default Paging to All (all zones) and
PAGE KEYPAD (the ability to page a specific zone) so only special
groups as determined by the homeowner will need to be config-
ured. Up to eight Paging Groups can be created. If a zone is not to
be included in any of the special Paging Groups, select
NONE. With
none selected, the zone will still be accessible for paging in the All
or Page Keypad menus, unless
PAGE ROOM has been set to NO,
in SETUP BY NUMBER PAGE 2.
To select Paging Group:
1. In the SETUP BY NUMBER PAGE 1 screen, press the
⁄

Navigation Button F to position the cursor next to PAGING
GROUP.
2. Using the
‹

for the zone being configured: NONE, A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H.
To exit Setup, press the
Exit Button G. To continue Zone Setup,
position the cursor next to ENTERTAINMENT GROUP and con-
tinue to the next section.
Entertainment Group
Selecting a Group in this setting will place the zone being
configured into a select group of zones that will be activated
(if off) and switched to a common-source (within the group).
The zones will turn on to their preset levels or the last level set, as
determined in zone setup. Each zone will retain its own volume,
mute, source select and power controls so that a zone within a
group can “opt out” at any time by selecting another source or
turning off. It is not necessary to set an Entertainment Group for a
given zone, so if the preference is to not have a zone included in
any Entertainment Groups, select
NONE.
To select Entertainment Group:
1. In the SETUP BY NUMBER PAGE 1 screen, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F to position the cursor next to
ENTERTAINMENT GROUP.
2. Using the
‹
/

Navigation Button F, select the Entertainment
Group for the zone being configured: NONE, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8.
To exit Setup, press the
Exit Button G. To continue Zone Setup,
position the cursor next to PRIORITY and continue to the next
section.
Priority
This setting sets the level of authority that any given keypad has,
relative to any other keypads currently active in the system. The
system default is MEDIUM for all keypads, meaning any keypad
can select and control any common-source at any time, if no other
system defaults have been changed.
NOTE: A source first selected
by the Main Room can only be controlled by a Remote Room if
the Remote Room’s Priority is HIGH. Otherwise, in any room for
which the priority is set to MEDIUM or LOW, the message IN USE
BY MAIN ROOM will appear on the KP21 keypad
Information
Display
. The source can be selected and monitored
(audio/video), but cannot be controlled until the Main Room
selects another source or turns off.
If three keypads are active (On) and one is set to HIGH, one is set
to MEDIUM and one is set to LOW, the keypad set to HIGH will
always be able to do what it wants. The medium keypad will be
able to do what it wants, unless it conflicts with a source selected
by the HIGH keypad. In this case, a message
IN USE BY HIGH
PRIORITY KEYPAD will appear on the MEDIUM KP21 keypad’s
Information Display for about 5 seconds. The MEDIUM
keypad will not be allowed to execute the function selected or
any other function for that source as long as that source is selected
by the HIGH keypad. Once the HIGH keypad selects another source
or turns off, the MEDIUM keypad will then be able to control the
previously locked source.
The same rules apply to the LOW keypad but, in this case, it has
two levels of higher authority to contend with. If a source is
already selected by the HIGH or MEDIUM keypads, the LOW key-
pad will only be able to select a source already selected by one of
the higher priority keypads, but will not be able to control it until
the keypad with priority selects another source or turns off.
