UNIT MANAGEMENT
Creating a Unit
You may create a new unit at any time with Versa XS. Versa XS does not require that an actual EL25 unit be installed
before allowing you to add a new unit to the Versa XS database. This enables you to configure the unit’s settings and
add tenant data before the unit is installed.
If the EL25 unit is already installed, it may already have pre-loaded tenant and unit data. In that case, Chamberlain
recommends that you create a new unit and perform a “Receive All” command before you begin to enter or edit unit and
tenant data (see Mismatch on pages 57-58 of the Advanced Programming manual for more information).
NOTE: Versa XS contains default unit settings that allow you to quickly create a unit without entering data for each unit
property. You must, however, enter a Unit Name. When creating a new unit, review the default settings on the “Unit
Settings” windows to review them to see if they need to be
modified.
To Create a New Unit:
1. From the main menu select Unit >> New Unit or from
the tool bar, click the New Unit icon. This will open the
“New Unit” window.
2. Enter the Unit Name. This is a required field.
3. If necessary, modify any default settings data for the
unit on both “Unit Settings” windows. For more
information, see Unit Settings Reference, page 11.
4. Click OK to save changes to save the entry.
The unit’s icon will appear in the Unit List (left sidebar). You
may start adding tenant records to the unit (see Adding a Tenant, page 12.)
