2.2.1ConnectApplications
The Connect Applications parameters can be found on the Connection tab of the Network
BridgeGraphicalUserInterface(GUI).TheApplication1andApplicatio n2parametersfilterthe
commandsthatareroutedthroughtheNetworkBridge.
By default all applications are set to pass through the Network Bridge. If you wish to filter
messag
esbyapplication,thenyouwillbelimitedtoamaximumof2applications.
If Application 1 was changed to the Lighting Application, and Application 2 was left at None,
then only Group Addresses on the Lighting Application will
be routed though the Network
Bridge. All other Group Addresses on other applications will not be routed through the
NetworkBridge.
Figure 6: Connect Applications Parameters.
2.2.2MessageDestination
Message Destination has two unique parameters that allow us to determine what CBus
NetworktheGroupAddresseswillrouteto.
1) Sendtoadjacentnetwork
2) Sendtootherremotenetwork.
Figure 7: Message Destination Parameters.
The‘Sendtoadjacentnetwork’parameterallowstheNetworkBridgetoroutelocallygenerated
CBus commands directly to the adjoining CBus network. The ‘Sent to other remote network
parameter allows the network bridge to route locally generated CBus commands to any other
CBusnetworks.
Each network bridge can only send commands directly to 2 CBus networks. If you
