The Port Manager window lists the ports on the selected K-NET device (Master RC or Aux K-NET device) or
standalone room controller and lets you write a description and assign a default driver to each port.
Note that ports on auxiliary devices can be used only for sending outgoing commands from the auxiliary
device to an AV device. If you need to use Monitor Event triggers or Queries functions, which rely on
bidirectional communication, connect the AV device to the K-Net master device. For similar reasons, GPI/O
ports on the auxiliary devices will be disabled.
In the following example, the project navigator includes the RC-74DL, the RC-63DL, the RC-53DLC and the SL-10,
see Figure 101.
Figure 101: The Control Room Example
To set the ports of the Master device (for example, RC-74DL):
1. Select 1-RC-74DL in the Project Navigator area.
2. In the Windows menu, select Port Manager.
