Address Formats For Supported Lighting Systems

The Address and Button # fields in the House Lighting Scenes dialog correspond to either the

lighting controller address and the preset number (as with AMX Radia), or the address of the

keypad and the keypad button that will be emulated (as with the LiteTouch controller).

The only valid keypad address characters are 0-9, A-F, and : (colon).

For reference, here are the formats for the various supported lighting systems:

Once the application entries are completed, the touch panel files, the DMS keypad files, source

code, NetLinx Studio project file, text files (CD titles, tuner presets, etc.), and report file are all

created.

Note for ALD-D48 Lighting Systems

For ALD-D48 Lighting Systems, each button on the touch panel or keypad corresponds to a

lighting preset.

 For instructions on developing NetLinx code to program scenes for the D48, refer to Tech

Note # TN 543, available via www.amx.com (Dealers > Tech Center > Tech Notes).

 For detailed configuration information on the ALD-D48, refer to the ALD-D48 Network

Lighting Solution Instruction Manual, also available via www.amx.com (Dealers > Tech

Center > Tech Docs > Instruction Manuals).

Note for Radia Lighting Systems

On Radia lighting systems, channels 1-128 represent Radia lighting presets 1-128. If a channel is

on, then the corresponding preset is on. However, on startup NetLinx resets all channels to 0 (OFF).

Radia does not report the status of its channels when the master comes up, and consequently the

software believes the state of all of the presets is OFF. Therefore, until a preset changes in the

system, the channel states are not reported.
