Configuration
The switchboard must be configured for:
- local address setting of the switchboard (0 or 1 - 15)
- address setting of the associated entrance panel (1 - 80)
- setting the address of any associated service internal unit
- type of installation: traditional (Master/Slave) or hierarchical
Two different configuration modes are available:
- directly from the switchboard icon menu
- with a PC, using the specific software, that may be supplied or which can be
downloaded free of charge from www.homesystems-legrandgroup.com; this
mode has the advantage of offering many more options when compared with the
physical configuration.
WARNING: some specific functions such as for example compiling the address books and
managing the ringtones, require configuration by PC.
To transfer the configuration performed using the software or to update the device,
connect the switchboard to the PC using the USB-mini cable.
Functional notes
The maximum installation distances are the same as for a traditional 2-WIRE
internal unit.
The MASTER switchboard
A MASTER Switchboard is recommended when the system has just one call hierarchy level.
This means that the call can be sent to the switchboard operator of the whole residential
complex (in DAY mode) or directly to the apartment (in NIGHT mode).
The switchboard operator (or the switchboard operators if there are SLAVE switchboards)
offer the apartments the same services.
The BACKBONE and RISER switchboard
The BACKBONE and RISER switchboards are the two variations of the system with two-
level hierarchy.
This means that the call can be sent to the RISER switchboard operator (first
hierarchical level) or if the first is not in service (NIGHT mode) to the BACKBONE
switchboard operator (second hierarchical level). If this in turn is not in service the
call is sent directly to the apartment.
The RISER switchboard operator and the BACKBONE switchboard operator offer different
services. The first is directly connected to its riser while the second supervises all the risers.
For both one-level (MASTER) and two-level (BACKBONE and RISER) systems a SLAVE
switchboard can be inserted which will have the same functions as the switchboard to
which it is associated; this can be BACKBONE, RISER or MASTER indifferently.
To ensure that the communication is successful, the device must be powered.
