can be used to manually select any car on the Alternate Dispatcher list to be the Local/Dis-

any other car in the Alternate Dispatcher list (not the Local/Dispatcher), only the car to
which iView is connected can be manually selected to be the Local/Dispatcher.
• Auto Select button: When iView is connected to the Local/Dispatcher, this button can
be used to request that another car on the Alternate Dispatcher list be auto-selected to be
the Local/Dispatcher.
• Auto-select Preference Order: This control is used to designate which cars can
become the Local/Dispatcher and the order in which they are to be selected. Initially all
cars are shown in the Local Cars list.
1. Click to select cars in the Local Cars list and use the right arrow to move them into the
Alternate Dispatcher list.
2. Click to select cars in the Alternate Dispatcher list and use the Up and Down buttons to
place them in the desired order. The highest on the list is selected first. If the first on
the list is not available, the next on the list is selected, and so fourth. Once a car has
assumed the Local Dispatcher roll it continues in that roll even if a car that is higher on
the list becomes available.
3. To remove a car from the Alternate Dispatcher list, click to select the car and use the
left arrow to move it to the Local Cars list.
Caution
The "Auto-select Preference Order" settings must be identical for every car within a group of
elevators. Please refer to "Before connecting the "System" ethernet cable to the iBox:" on
