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
On the ALD-D48, each button on the touch panel or keypad corresponds to a specific lighting
preset.
Touch Panel Control dialog (Cont.)
Lighting Control (Cont.) For the AMX ALD-D48, the address is always "1" (read-only).
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:
• Lighting Control (Cont.) • Button #: The Button # refers to the button number or scene number the Design
XPress system is to emulate when communicating to the lighting system.
For AMX Radia systems, the button # is the scene number to be recalled when
this scene is selected on the touch panel.
Note: For instructions on developing NetLinx code to program scenes for the
ALD-D48, refer to AMX Tech Note # TN 543, available via www.amx.com
(Dealers > Tech Center > Tech Notes). Also refer to the ALD-D48 Network
Lighting Solution Instruction Manual for detailed configuration information.
• Copy From: The Copy from list box allows you to copy a lighting scene layout from
another touch panel or keypad in the system.
Note: If you are not controlling lighting scenes with a Touch Panel, leave these
fields blank.
