4–14 • Configuration NK Series User Guide (1.0)
Control Panels can be linked together if they have the same address and a different panel link address (that is not 0).
Linked panels behave exactly as if they were one larger panel with the exception that macros can not be appended
or added across panels. The panels communicate using the T-Bus protocol with support for collision detection.
Each key can be assigned a function, with up to 3 parameters (Default, Shift1 and Shift2). This function will be
called when that switch is pressed. The key functions are:
RCP-NK1 Configuration
The Device Properties page, accessible through the NK-IPS, allows users to configure interface and key
assignments for RCP-NK1 control panels, as well as having the unique ability to assign names and brief
descriptions for the devices themselves.
For More Information on...
• how to query devices, and use of the NK-IPS, refer to the NK-IPS Internet Protocol Server User Guide.
