LFDs detected in a connection are displayed in the Device list, where the user can make groups and
send commands to detected devices.
Connection list modification options – Connection modification options includes Add, Edit, Delete,
and Refresh.
Auto Set ID
Auto Set ID feature assigns a Set ID for all the LFDs connected in daisy-chain of a selected connection.
There can be a maximum of 100 LFDs in a connection. The Set ID is assigned sequentially in the daisy-
chain running from 1 to 99, and then finally to Set ID 0.
Cloning

information chart.
The display you want to control
does not appear on the other
Control Info Grids.
The following message appears
repeatedly.
1. Check the connection of the RS232C cable (check that the
cable is properly connected to appropriate serial port).
2. Check that another display with a duplicate ID is not
connected. Connecting displays with a duplicate ID can
cause the displays not to be shown due to data collision.
3. Check that the display ID is within the range of 0 and 99.
(Change the ID using the Display menu.)
For a display that supports the ID in a range of 0 to 99,
the ID should be set between 0 and 99.
Check that the display is powered on. (See the power status in
the system information chart.)
Ensure you select the input source the display is connected to.
