Configuring Control Panel/Device Priorities
All control panels and devices (panels and interfaces through the NK-IPS) have an assigned priority. This dictates
the priority of requests if there are a limited number of resources available.
 Every T-Bus device, including the NK-IPS, requires a unique address. Addresses range from 1 to 255. Default
addresses are set to the last two digits of the serial number, plus 100.
There are eight priority levels. Level 1 has the highest priority and level 8 has the lowest. The default level is 8.
Priority assignment is based on the T-Bus address of each panel or device.
To assign a priority
1. In DashBoard, open the NK-VRC interface.
2. Select the Priorities tab.
3. In the Priority field, enter a priority value from 1 to 8 for each address corresponding to a device on the T-Bus.
4. Click
Send Configuration (see “Sending the Configuration to a Device” on page 21).
