On a Line you can configure up to four interactions, one for each line. The interac-

tions you configure can deal with other lines of the same Pad, or one or more lines on

a different Pad, or more lines on different Pads.

To know what you need to insert here in the Data field both of Source and Reactions,

you can monitor the messages exchanged on the network using the Line Monitor on

LMS that shows the messages generated on the field and the commands issued by

the operator. You can for instance generate on purpose an event for which you wish

to establish a reaction and look at the bytes send to LMS using Line Monitor. Then,

on LMS you can issue manually a command in response to the message and again

look at the bytes sent by LMS. The first string of bytes can be inserted into the Data

field of the Source dialog box, the second string of byte represent the data in the re-

action program.

With reference to the following figure, you can for instance configure interactions be-

tween the CZ10 and the CMX connected to the same Line 1, or interactions between

the CZ10 connected to Line 1 and the CZ10 connected to Line 2 and the CZ10 con-

nected to Line 3 in a two level network.
