ZONE Applications

VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Zone Control

Zone applications utilize the SS1 as a control hub for a wireless VIA!2-8.4 Touch Panel
(ZONE application) used as a controller for a zone of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller. One-
way RS-232 control is available for devices that are only controlled from the zone in which
the VIA!2-8.4 Touch Panel is assigned (local Home Theater equipment, for example). Relay
and Sense functions are available for local systems, as well as IR control of local (in-zone)
and system (available from any zone) devices. Be aware that two-way and system-wide RS-
232 control is NOT available in this application.
