Master-To-Master (M2M) - AMX NETLINX PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE Manual

Master-To-Master (M2M)

The functionality of Master-to-Master (M2M) includes several new features including Master routing
and intersystem control. Master routing supports the ability to route messages to any other Master or
device and is the foundation of all M2M functionality. Intersystem control allows a Master, or its
NetLinx program, to control and get status of any other device (or master) connected to another Master.
The illustration below depicts a typical system of two interconnected NetLinx control systems with
several devices connected to each one.
The top portion of the illustration shows the physical connections and the devices represented. The
bottom portion shows the logical connections that have been assigned.
