RDNET OBJECTS

As soon as a controller is connected and matched with the workspace, it will be possible to use the < Scan> command to start the automatic system scan. RDNet software automatically detects every device in the network which are shown in the workspace as icons. Each object, (icon), is matched to the respective physical device by means of an identification number (ID) and the model name .

Every ID consists of three numbers (from left to right):

1st: controller number.

2nd: controller channel number.

3rd: channel device number.

Starting from an object ID, it is possible to find its physical location in the RDNet network. When knowing how a device is wired, it is also possible to find its object in the workspace. The model name helps identify the device type.

All objects have a set of primary attributes, a set of extended attributes and a DSP control section.

NOTE: All object attributes are not related to the functionality of the software (which is only a remote control), but only depend on device type and firmware. Therefore, attributes of different objects are not all the same and may have different appearance and parameters.
