Status Reporting

Wired C-Bus networks use a status reporting system (known as an

MMI). This provides automatic detection and correction of

discrepancies between the states of grouped inputs and outputs. It

also allows the C-Bus Toolkit software, and special C-Bus control

units, to take a snapshot of the states of units or groups in the

network.

RF Wireless systems use a different method of status reporting,

which is slower but better suited to a radio transmission/reception

environment. The Wireless C-Bus status reporting serves the same

purpose as the wireless C-Bus MMI.

The Gateway translates between the two status reporting types,

allowing the RF Wireless system to be scanned and browsed using

the C-Bus Toolkit software.

After powering up, the Gateway may take up to 1 minute to obtain a

complete view of the wireless system. Under some circumstances,

the Gateway can take 30 to 60 seconds to recognize that a unit has

been added to or removed from a wireless system.

When using the C-Bus Toolkit software to view units on a wireless

system, an "Update" button is provided to cause the Gateway to

rediscover all wireless units.
