Single storage depth is typically used in installations

where the guest swill be making show requests. An ex-
ample of this is in a museum display. If a show is already
running, you don’t want it to be stepped upon. Neither
do you want it to store all of the start button requests that
arrive while it is playing.

255 deep storage is used where you will be stacking

up an entire sequence of shows to play, and then start-

show which is made up of a number of shorter shows is
stacked up, and then started as though it were a single
show.

“g” Respond to Group:

Any Smart Brick Brain or Digital Audio Repeater can

be configured to respond to one of sixteen possible
‘group’ commands issued through the serial port. This al-
lows you to start several devices with only a single com-
mand. This menu selection is used to set which group
this card will respond to. The allowable range for this
entry is 09, A-F.

“h” Set Clock:

This command is used to set the real time clock on

the Rack Smart Brick Brain. If you select ‘Automatic
Daylight Savings Time’, then the clock will automatically
‘Spring forward’ on the first Sunday in April (at 2:00 AM)
and ‘Fall back’ on the last Sunday in October (again at
2:00 AM). If automatic Daylight Savings Time is enabled,
the time will be preceded by ‘DST’ during the summer
months.
