Last Panel is a software parameter used to facilitate efficient token passing on RCP

networks only. On RCP networks, the controller with the highest physical address (RCP

address) should be configured as the Last Panel. This Last Panel setting will remind the

controller to return the token to the controller with the lowest physical address. If later

expansion causes controllers to be added to the network and higher physical addresses to

be used, the Last Panel parameter will have to be modified to ---- in the device that no

longer has the highest physical address and set to Last in the new controller with the

highest physical address.

BACnet MS/TP networks do no utilize Last Panel to facilitate the token-passing scheme

implemented for communication. For this reason, on BACnet

networks, it is recommended

that Last Panel not be used. Therefore, no controllers would be configured as Last but all

would be configured with a value of ---- for the LAST parameter.

Changes to the MSet Set-Up parameters are initially stored in the buffer of the SS-L only. To

send the changes to the controller, UPDATE must be set to Yes. After the configuration

parameters are sent to the controller, the controller must reboot to commit the changes. Do

not unplug the SS-L, press any of the buttons or make any further modifications after the

UPDATE value has been set to Yes until it automatically resets to No.

For best practice, provide a couple of seconds for the SS-L buffer to properly parse each

configuration parameter modification before committing the changes to the controller by

setting UPDATE to Yes.
