5.2 I/O Mapping Setup with Embedded Web Page I/O Mapping allows one or more outputs mirroring input from other or its own device. One Input can be mirrored by one (Point-to-Point) or more (Point-to-Multipoint) outputs, but one output cannot mirror more than one Input.

I/O Mapping is divided into 2 types:

LAN IO Mapping: allows individual input and output to mirror the status across the IP network. Wireless IO mapping: allows individual input and output to mirror the status across its own 900MHz system.

1. Click the activation box next to LAN I/O Mapping Enable to enable multicast IP settings 2. Type in the Multicast IP address and Multicast Port to use (IP range from 224.1.0.0–224.1.255.255).

IMPORTANT: The Multicast IP address and Multicast Port need to be the same across the network. 3. Click the activation box next to Wireless I/O Mapping Enable to enable I/O mapping. 4. For each Output, assign the following:

4.1. Activated by IP Address: IP address of the Input to be mirrored 4.2. Unit Address: Radio Address (Address 0 is always the Gateway device and 1 to 254 are the

Remote devices) of the Input to be mirrored 4.3. Input No.: Input number (range from 1 to 8, depending on model, some models only have 2

Inputs) to be mirrored 5. Click Update button to save changes on this page temporarily. 6. After all changes are complete, click the Apply button to save all changes permanently.

Multicast settings need to be the same across the network



5.3 Real Time Output Control (Override) with Embedded Web Page There are 3 ways to change the outputs of the Gateway Advanced I/O:

• Apply change to the entire system (all devices within the system will be affected) • Apply change to individual device only (Address 0 is always the Gateway Basic

and address 1 to 254 are for remotes 1 to 254) • Apply change to a schedule (1 out of 16 schedules can be selected, all remotes

operating under this schedule will be affected)

To carry out the changes to the device’s outputs in each of the three cases above:

• For the whole system (To Whole System), click Enable, and select Override Status and Override Time. o In any case, if Override Time checkbox is not selected, output will be changed permanently. Device

will resume autonomous operation after time expired. • For individual remotes (To Remotes), select Enable on the device you wish to make changes on, and enter

a value for the output(s) of the device • For schedules (To Schedule), click Enable for the desired schedule, and set Override Time Click the Apply button to execute the override.
