Also, select your particular time zone, then select your Daylight Savings
Time function. If your locale observes DST, then set this to Enable. If
not, such as Arizona, select Disable.
You can also set the # of UPB Transmits – the # of times a UPB
transmission is sent. This information is used to determine how many
times a UPB transmission is sent from the UPB Send page and from the
Trigger Event page. The recommended setting is 2, however if the UPB
network is experiencing lost commands, increasing this number will
improve the reliability by increasing the probability that a particular
command will get through. This can be set anywhere from 1 to 4.
Notice that there are two buttons labeled Home and Vacation. This tells
the Home Automation features of the RUC what mode you want to be in.
For example, you’re at home and there are certain programs you want to
run. Or, you’re on vacation and there are different programs you want to
run. So, normally, this would be set to Home, and you would only
change to Vacation when you leave for an extended period of time.
You can adjust the parameters for both serial ports. If you use the drop
down, you will get choices for the specific protocol you wish to use:
Use RAW protocol for types not listed. However, for the types listed, the
RUC has been setup to work with these specific hardware interfaces:
o ESI – RQ Bridge
o UPB – any PIM / CIM from any UPB manufacturer
o UPB v5.56+ - any PIM / CIM with Gen2 firmware version greater
than V5.56
o Zwave – Leviton Vizia RZCOP
o Insteon / X10 – Smarthome 2413S
For the selection “Echo Back to RUC”, use this function if you want the
RUC to be able to trigger on commands it has sent out itself.
Notice the comment “Remote connection to COM1 is not active”. This
tells the user that there is no remote access session in process. NOTE:
If the Remote connection is Active, you will not be able to run another
application remotely to that socket connection, such as, UPB Remote.
After making any changes, don’t forget to click the Save Config button.
