ENSURE THAT:
The total length of the network wiring is less than 4,000 feet.
The network bulbs are good (Each bulb should measure approximately 17 ohms).
Lit bulbs or red Status LED indicates a problem ****
That any third-party devices with a REF pin have a third, dedicated conductor connecting
the REF pins on the third-party device to the GND or REF pin on the nearest MACHSystem device.
Third-party devices should be neither the highest MAC address nor the lowest MAC
address (when possible).
The SMART-Space Controller requires a proxy device for communications. The proxy
device must be present on the same physical network.
Reliable Controls proxy devices are the MACH-ProCom, MACH-ProSys, MACHProWebCom, MACH-ProWebSys, MACH-Pro1, MACH-Pro2, and the X-Port-2
Converter. Slave Proxy and Auto Slave Discovery must be enabled on the controller.
