SS1 System Station

System Types

The SS1 has three primary application Types:

STAND-ALONE

STAND-ALONE applications typically use the SS1 as a Control Station/Connection Hub for
the VIA!2-SS1 Wireless Touch Panel. These applications can provide IR routing in order to
control local IR sources (not part of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system), one-way
RS-232 devices that are not part of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system, relay
controlled devices, and perform intelligent ON/OFF commands through the Sense Inputs. A
Wireless Access Point is used to relay information from a VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel to
the SS1.

ZONE

ZONE applications consist of a wireless VIA!2-8.4 Touch Panel utilizing the SS1 as a
Connection Hub when controlling a zone of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system.
ZONE applications can provide IR routing in order to control local IR sources, IR zone con-
trol, IR control of system-wide sources, one and two-way control of RS-232 devices, relay
device control, and perform intelligent ON/OFF commands through the Sense Inputs. A
Wireless Access Point is used to relay information from a VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel to
the SS1.

SYSTEM

SYSTEM applications are used when an SS1 is performing tasks outside of being the con-
trol center for a VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel. Often, a System SS1 is linked to an ELAN
Multi-Room Controller-based system. These applications can control local IR sources, sys-
tem-wide IR sources, ELAN Multi-Room Controllers, one and two-way RS-232 devices, relay
controlled devices, and perform intelligent ON/OFF commands through the Sense Inputs.
ZONE SS1s (with VIA!2-SS1 Wireless Touch Panels), wired VIA! Touch Panels, Olé Film
Interactive Touchpads, keypads, and hand-held remotes can all utilize functions of a System
SS1.
