These allow individual sources to be

turned off for specific zones. A source that is turned off will
not display in that zone. This is particularly useful in
preventing child access to a source dedicated to adult
listening.

The overall brightness and AutoDim feature

for each Control Pad are set using these drop-down menus.
The first menu is the display brightness. The choices are

AutoDim feature. These range from

or

reduces the level of brightness,

but does not make the Control Pad completely dark.

This drop-down menu is used to assign additional

slave

Control Pads to a zone. Up to 14 Control Pads can be

used in an installation. The Allport hub is equipped with
additional RJ45 ports to accommodate all the system's
Control Pads. This is a useful feature for large rooms where
more than one Control Pad is desired. If slave Control Pads
are used, we suggest that you disable the IR pass-through on
those to prevent cross-communication. The Slave To function
can also be used to tie two or more zones together under the
control of a single Control Pad.

5.2 Zones (completed) (Fig. 26)

When the desired properties for each zone are set, click on
OK. This will return you to the Zones tab. There you will see
an updated list of the zones by the number they are
assigned, as well as the specific parameters defined in the
Zone Edit window.

Double-clicking on the zones will reopen the edit window,
where any of the definition properties can be modified.

This tab is used to define the way in which the External Mute
input functions, for setting the zone lockout security code,
to set the clock for 24 hour display and if necessary to set a
serial communication display.

6.1 External Mute: System Mute Trigger (Fig. 27)

The Essentia System has an accessory, the NV-MI1 Mute
Interface, which is designed to mute any music playing
through the system when a doorbell or phone rings, see MI1
Mute Interface, pg. 35. When setting the System Mute
Trigger, set the mute input to respond to the contact closure
provided by the MI1.
