Note
If the mode is not displayed then this connection mode is not supported, or - in the case of a P1 cable - your cable is not properly connected to the a-TroniX Controller. Please contact your installer or supplier.
- Select the used communication protocol of your device. If the model of your device is not mentioned, you can try using different communication protocols.
- Enter the additional inputs as requested.
- (Only shown for Ethernet TCP connections, skip this step if you are using RS485 connection). Select the device you want to add. You can do this by: a. Add by MAC address (recommended). b. Add by IP address (not recommended unless you are sure the converter has a fixed IP address).
- (This steps and onwards are for both TCP and RS485) In the next step, if required, you can manually adjust the parameters used to search for the device. In most circumstances, we recommend staying with the default set values.
