Configure the System
NOTE:
EBPs are shipped with pre-labelled buttons in place but these buttons do not have any functions associated with them
until they are configured with Global Configurator or programmed with Global Scripter. See the Global Configurator Help
File or Global Scripter Help File as needed for step-by-step instructions and detailed information.
Create a new Global Configurator Plus or Professional project and configure the controller and any eBUS devices. The
1.
configuration tells the control processor how its ports function; how to control other products; what to monitor; when to do
things; and whom to notify, how, and under what circumstances.
Configure ports on the control processor.
a.
Select device drivers and link them to each assigned port.
•
Configure settings (serial protocol, relay behavior, digital input, volume control settings) as needed.
•

b.
Set up the eBUS button panel buttons: assign appropriate commands and actions, macros, timers, local variables
c.
monitors, or feedback to the buttons.

NOTE:
Once the Global Configurator project has been set up, you can use Global Scripter to program buttons and LEDs.
Test and Troubleshoot
Verify that the DIP switches on the EBPs are set to the desired address on each unit and that there are no DIP switch address

conflicts in the system. If there is a bus ID conflict, the ID Error status LED lights red (see
Verify that cables to and from the EBPs are wired the same at each end (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so forth). If there is
2.
no communication with the control processor, the Com Error status LED lights amber. If power and communication with the
control processor are both good, the Link status LED lights green (see
Test the system.
3.
Press buttons on the EBPs and ensure the buttons light as desired and that the appropriate control commands or

functions are triggered.
Ensure that the audio output responds correctly to the volume knob or button. Also ensure that the volume LEDs light
•
correctly as you increase or decrease the audio gain.
Make adjustments to wiring, bus ID address, or system configuration as needed. Remember that the rear panel ports and DIP
