The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORstrip/COLORstrip Mini product (the
"master") to control the actions of one or more COLORstrip/COLORstrip Mini products
(the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to
operate in either Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave products will be
set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in
unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
