Aux Setup

The Aux Setup screen is used to configure the CX-6p-PoE’s aux contact outputs.


Each aux out also has a user-settable text label which may be up to 15 characters long.
The aux name label is supplied along with the number when reporting the status of an
aux contact output to a Pilot server.

A checkbox is provided to enable the sending of an email to a user-specified address
when this aux output turns on or off.

As each contact output has terminals for normally closed and normally open, there is no
setting to change the action of a contact in software.

The default behavior of the CX-6p-PoE is set the output contact OFF when power is
applied. Optionally, the user can select for the relay to turn ON when power is first
applied.

The Aux Setup screen indicates the current state of each aux output, showing it as ON
or OFF. These indications are updated every few seconds. Buttons are provided for
each state so that the user may manually switch the output ON or OFF through the
setup screen.

The aux contacts automatically accept commands from other devices on the network,
such as other CX-6p-PoE devices, Scout or Commander devices, or other Pilot servers.
This function cannot be disabled.
