devices

6.1. LecNet PRO Program

Introduction

LecNet Master Pro control screen allows you full control of all active LecNet devices connected
to your computer. There can be as many device control panels open as there are active LecNet
devices, but only one control panel is usable at a time. The general procedure for using LecNet
control is:
1) Be sure every LecNet device connected to the serial port of the PC has a different address.
Different types of devices will have different factory default addresses. The only time the user is
required to change a device address is when more than one of the same type of device will be
connected to the net (e.g., using two or more AS8s when more than 8 channels are needed). In
this case, see the Devices Menu to change device addresses.
2) Start LecNet Master Pro. Note that none of the LecNet control panels may be launched except
from LecNet Master Pro. After the serial connection to the PC is made, run CheckNet from the
menu bar. CheckNet will find and identify all the active devices connected to the PC. After
CheckNet has run, a list of devices, device software version numbers , and LecNet addresses will
be displayed.
3) From the Devices menu, select either the Select Device option (to launch a LecNet control
panel), or the Change Device Address option (to change the address of a LecNet device). Note
that a control panel must be maximized in order to communicate with a LecNet device.
