Global Defaults
The global default menus give you access to many configuration parameters and
options which "globally" affect your relay panel.
Although these settings can help you quickly make changes to your panel, please
make sure that you understand and expect the results. For example, changing the
relay type in global defaults, will automatically and without warning change the relay
type for every relay controlled by this cabinet. As such, any previous changing of relay
type at the relay level will be lost.
Changing the # of Local Relays
Sets the number of local relays in the cabinet. Usually this is set to the maximum
number of relays which can be installed in your relay cabinet. For example, if you
have an (8) relay cabinet, this setting would be 8. If you have a 24 relay cabinet it
would be 24.
The starting relay number for remote relays is dependant upon this setting. The first
remote relay is addressed by the relay number indicated by adding 1 to the number of
local relays. For example, if you have 24 local relays, the first remote relay is 25.
Remote Relays
This setting determines the number of remote relays addressed by this relay cabinet
when implementing a Master/Remote network. This should be set to the total number
of relays in all remote cabinets.
For example, if you have (1) 24 remote relay cabinet and (2) 4 remote relay cabinets,
the setting for this entry will be 24+4+4=32 indicating that 32 remote relays will be
controlled by this cabinet.
The relay numbers for remote relays start at 1+the number of local relays. So if you
have 24 local relays, then in this scenario the local relays are 1-24, remote relays 25-
56.
Enable Master/Remote communication
In order for this cabinet to communicate on a master/remote network, the number of
remote relays must be set (see above) and
this cabinet must be defined as a master
cabinet. This feature has the following settings:
• OFF - disables Master/Remote communication
• MAS - enabled Master/Remote communication with this as a Master relay cabinet.
Only one master is allowed per network.
